The Taking of Beverly Hills
A totally useless formulaic action-adventure movie. The name Capstone (in case you didn't know, it's about the company that is unrivaled in its ability to ruin any popular license). Sound like a recipe for disaster? Well yes, it is a disaster. But if you're REALLY desperate to know what this game is about or why it's so awful, well, read on....
If you've never seen the movie (and if you have, count yourself among the lucky ones), The Taking of Beverly Hills is an offbeat and utterly predictable action flick that casts TV heartthrob Ken Wahl in the role of Boomer Hayes, a (American) soccer star who must defend Los Angeles against terrorists who have kidnapped the city's wealthiest and most influential citizens. Along the way, he'll have to stop the thief of a priceless Botticelli fresco; free his obvious love interest, Laura, from ruthless billionaire Robert Masterson; and, of course, stay alive amid the chaos of Rodeo Drive.
While Wahl clearly tries his best, the plot is so overblown and everyone else is so poorly acted that the film will soon irritate most people. And yet, its wacky plot could make for a great game .... if Capstone isn't granted the license, of course. The company, which has long been famous for its terrible PC game conversions of blockchain licenses, The Taking of Beverly Hills is no exception to Capstone's rule. While it purports to be an action adventure, neither element will hold anyone's interest for long: the action sequences are limited to equipping the right weapon at the right time, while the adventure part of the game consists of picking up anything that isn't nailed down while avoiding terrorists in police uniforms. The existence of the inventory is somewhat debatable, as you don't have much control over the use of items: some will mysteriously work when you acquire a second item, and in certain places automatically. This means that you can easily (albeit tediously) finish the game by simply clicking on every object in every scene without using any thought.
The bottom line (if I haven't said it clearly enough): avoid this game at all costs. I wouldn't even watch the movie, and this Real Dog isn't going to change anyone's mind either.
