The power of love is certainly a strong thing; it can take bring people together huge distances, build lasting relationships and even destroy castles... At least that is what the flash game, The Power of Love teaches me. Yep, in The Power of Love you are a lowly knight trying to win over the King's daughter. You do this by literally smashing his castle by hand till you get your way. Earn to die 5
The premise is silly which works with the silly graphics and theme which I adore. I mean you start out banging on the castle walls with your guitar riding a toy pony. Of course you can later upgrade to more knightly and manly items to help in your quest of love. To do this you spend the money that gets thrown out of the castle as you bang on the walls. That is really the whole premise to The Power of Love; Bang on walls, get money, upgrade, bang some more. Admittedly it is a quick game that really isn't meant to be taken too seriously. I could get behind this if the actual game mechanics were fun and less of a chore. There is a lot and I mean a lot of mindless walking back and forth from the castle back to collect money and then more walking to walk to the store to spend your cash. You can increase your speed eventually but still it is too much slow painful walking for my tastes. Overall though The Power of Love is a silly simple game but one that might be too painful to actually enjoy. Earn to die 6
