PrinceWatercress plays Surround - Part 3 of 3

...and now, Video Graffiti. What can I say? For something from the early years of console gaming, it's nice.

Game Modes 13 and 14 are their own game: Video Graffiti. It's a game within the game that allows you to draw on the screen, and it's actually pretty nice. Both modes can be played with one or two players, and while Game Mode 13 does not allow for diagonal movement, Game Mode 14 does, so I stick to Game Mode 14.

Drawing is easy. Just hold down the fire button and move around with the joystick to draw. You can draw smiley faces, make letters and numbers, or whatever the blocks allow you to do. It's super simple and there's not much depth to it, but it is a nice little set of game modes.

If you make a mistake while drawing, you can just draw over the mistake to erase it. Thankfully, both game modes for Video Graffiti allow for erasing. You can also wrap around the screen and quickly move your cursor from one side of the screen to the other.

That's it for Surround. All in all, it's a nice launch game, but I wish there were more one-player game variations. It's a little easier to enjoy if you have friends to play it with. At least Video Graffiti is fun, albeit super simple, and it allows you to draw on the screen. You probably won't play this game for very long, but it is far from a horrible game and is worth picking up and playing for a least a few minutes.
