How can a prophecy be evil? Prophecies have always seemed to remain pretty objective to me, telling it like it is. Or rather, how it will be. They don’t take sides. Except now they do, thanks to comic book artist and mogul Todd “More Spikes n’ Chains n’ Drapey Things” McFarlane. McFarlane’s Evil Prophecy is a new game from Konami that’s shipping today for the PS2.
Hey, remember Van Helsing? How Hugh Jackman fought a bunch of classic monsters all in one movie? Come on, it was like one month ago. Anyway, guess what you do in this game? You fight the same classic monsters. Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Werewolf all make appearances. Evil Prophecy provides value though, as there’s also the classic nightmare fuel of the Mummy, the Sea Creature, and… black people (as seen in the above screenshot).
Wow, huh? Five supernatural creatures, and then negros. Now, I’m not saying McFarlane is a racist. I’m sure there’s a tragic, evil prophecy-mandated reason that these painted and loinclothed African-Africans have to be exterminated by the Aryan Princess and the Aryan Muscleman, and they take no joy in so doing. In fact, the fraulein there is looking pretty glum about the whole thing. What I am saying is that the game has gotten bad reviews and this article does not in any way encourage you to buy it, just to point and laugh.
