This is a game that could have been a 9 out of 10 or even a 10 out of 10 but because of a few terrible things make the game a 1 out of 10 at best. And the sad part is that if the developer, or those in charge there, had any videogame intelligence, they could have easily avoided it. But instead of creating a game with a huge fan base, they are willing to settle for low ratings and a small player pool. Kudos. . The gun action is actually quite fun. The leveling system is not too complex. Just the right mix. A good combination of action and management. The controls are not too bad but just wonky enough that trying to position yourself during a firefight, or trying to dodge to avoid gunfire can get frustrating. But its not a game breaker. The thing that makes this game a 1 out of 10 is those wonky attempts to maneuver cause you to take on extra damage when in battle. And when you get shot, it takes longer to recover from the shot than it does for the enemy to re-fire. So if you get ****'re **** **** have to start way Way WAY back at the last checkpoint which can be very difficult to even find sometimes. The other thing that makes the game LITERALLY unplayable is that you very easily run completely out of ammo and there are virtually NO sources of new ammo. The only thing you can do is to run all the way back to the check point which saves your game and refills your ammo. But when you do that, all the enemies along the way respawn as well. . So a game that I was psyched to play has turned out to be one of the most frustrating pieces of videogame crap ever made. AVOID this game at all costs. Not even worth it on deep discount. Not even worth it for achievement/trophy hunters.

First of all, all the loser trolls giving it a 0, 1 or 2 have LITERALLY NEVER played the game. i would definitely give the game at least an 8.0 but gave it a 10.0 to counteract some of the negative Pony trolls. This game is fun Fun FUN. For the low IQ small brains out there, a game does not have to be photo-realistic to be super fun. It doesn't have to have the best story line to be fun. When you start a game and you can't put it down for 4 hours....THAT is what fun is. The traversal is spot on. The controls are tight 99% of the time. I did notice a little glitch when picking something up and trying to throw it. Sometimes my character won't actually release it. Maybe I am doing something wrong. But one way that I know a game is high quality is when I literally get vertigo playing it. When climbing the propaganda towers I get such a sense of vertigo that I have to change the camera angle so that I can't look down. Its scary and thrilling, and fun all at the same time. game is FUN FUN FUN. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Nothing makes any sense. Poor graphics. Where are bullets going. Too many on screen characters. Its just a jumble of mayhem. The menu and item purchasing screens are cumbersome and confusing. I want my money back. Looks like Awesome Games Studio is anything but. What an insult to players willing to spend their money. WHAT A HUGE INSULT!!!!!!!!!!! Close your company... You are crooks.

Don't be deceived by the good reviews. It's true that I usually only come to metacritic to complain about a game that I had a bad experience with, but this one is worth mentioning. At some point in the 2nd level, you gain the ability to throw a grapple against specific grapple points. At first the mechanics seem fun. Run, grapple, release to let your momentum carry you even further not to mention the boost jump ability. UNFORTUNATELY shortly there after you come to a point with 2 item chests to open and a grapple point ahead. No matter how many times I tried there is no way to build enough momentum to swing through the HUGE HUGE gap that is there. I attempted it over 40 times. Worst of all, if you die a certain amount of times, you do something called "losing the valley" where the valley dies. By letting that happen you lose a 90 point achievement. The only way to get it back is to start the game all over again. Up to this point, the game was an easy 8/10, but this one section early on makes it COMPLETELY unplayable. I bought it cuz it was on sale in the MS store. Don't be fooled or duped. AVOID this game at all costs. Any potential anxiety issues you would have will thank you for it. Pathetic job by Blue Isle Studios. Perhaps you should hire people to actually play test before releasing piles of unplayable garbage. I'll avoid your stuff in the future for sure. And yes...I've never been so upset and disappointed in a game.

If you like twin-stick shooters, then this is as much of a MUST BUY as any game you've ever played. Visually beautiful although there is not much variation. Gun, ability, and perk selections are outstanding. I do wish however that there was a way to lock in with a specific weapon once you acquire it. REGARDING THE DIFFICULTY CURVE: The first of the 3 realms is a fair challenge. Its nice to earn new weapons and new perks. By the time you get to the 2nd realm, the difficulty really ramps up. I would have like to have seen a smoother increase in difficulty over the 3 realms. At the beginning of the 2nd realm, you will start to encounter levels that seem near impossible. Collecting crystals to upgrade or unlock abilities is very time consuming, but if you love the game-play, then its worth it. If you are someone who gets easily frustrated with games that suddenly get EXTREMELY difficult after a short period of time, then approach with caution. If you like a challenge then this is a no-brainer. I cannot wait for more games from this developer.

Lets get one thing clear....more than 75% of all the negative reviews are from trolls. Most of the remainder are Mario gamers who do not like CoD anyway. This game is awesome. Its fun to play. There is a lot of variety in the MP part. Between the MP, Zombies, and the campaign, there is an enormous amount of polished content for the price. I'll take this over Destiny or Overwatch or any BF game anyday. And the campaign is fantastic.

The game is one of those that is fun for the first half, and then at one point becomes such a chore in repeating the same spot over and over and over and over again. Towards the end of the 3rd chapter (out of 4 chapters), there is what you would call a "boss" encounter with an octopus man. The timing is ridiculous and even with perfect timing the responsiveness is only about 95% effective so you die...A LOT!!!!! . Prior to that segment, I would have rated the game a solid 7.5 to 8.0. The premise is interesting, the graphics are very pleasing, the gameplay is above average with that 95% responsiveness, and the puzzles are fun but not insanely difficult to figure out. . This one boss encounter ruins the entire experience. After 37 tries, it was time to make the decision to uninstall it from my Xbox. I mostly come into Metacritic to complain about games that I have bad experiences with. It allows me to vent. Please understand that i do not mind a challenging **** stupidity in programming infuriates me. I game to have fun. Repeating the same impossible boss encounter 30+ times is not fun. Maybe next game Nowhere Studios. Please focus on quality control throughout the ENTIRE game.

I am so glad that I'm allowed to give this game a score of ZERO!!!!! Bought it yesterday. I played it for 10 or 15 minutes before bed. Today I try to play and it keeps saying that its logging me in. And I waited forever. I even walked away from the xbox for 60 minutes and it still won't log in. I checked online. No reported issues that I can see. I try to go into a forum to ask questions from support. After signing up on Tripwire, I can't post anything because after an hour I still do not have the confirmation email. This is the worst experience with a game i have ever had. According to the terms and conditions as well as consumer rights in the United States, Tripwire has not delivered on the promised product. I will be looking for the means to get a refund. I don't care about the policy. I will take them to small claims court. Avoid this game AT ALL COSTS. It is way overpriced to begin with and then you can never play it.

Game is super fun right from the start. That is why I wanted it was because of the "fun" factor. The game is easy to pick up and go. Everything is explained very quickly and efficiently. Easy learning curve. Some people are saying its repetitive but so many games out there are exactly that. After several hours of gameplay, I am thrilled to explore even more.

This game went from a 9 to a ZERO in one night. There is a boss called Elder Alaram and he is definitely the hardest boss I've faced in 30+ years. Both myself, my son, and my daughter are all expert gamers, and we all took turns and tried to beat him for over FOUR HOURS. He cannot be beat. I've never been so pissed at a game in all my life. I need to find a way to demand my money back. Idiots wasting my time with glitches and huge load times...even with the patch update. I want to give this game a score lower than zero. Any loser that is giving this a good score has NOT played through the game yet.

I would have loved to give this a higher score. Last year one of those Letterquest games came out and it was an absolute joy. I figured this game would be the same but alas, there are some issues. . After you spell words, the letters stay the same. You never get new letters so that by the time you reach the end of a level, you are fretting over trying to make new words. So many times I was killed because I couldn't think of a new word in time. It gets to the point where you hope for a grouping that includes an "E" and an "S". And **** you don't get that, you can just back out and restart the level hoping for a better letter assortment. Thank goodness the load times are super fast. . When in the inventory screen and it shows you your options for cloak, hat, wand, etc...., it doesn't indicate which ones are actually equipped. You have to click on the actual item to confirm it from the pop-up. . By level 30 to 40, you start to encounter enemies that cannot be defeated unless you have huge funds for upgrades, which is impossible even after obtaining max money/rewards, or if you swap out your equipment to match the enemy's weaknesses. The game becomes an exercize in switching between screens and playing with inventory and **** there is no way to reset your upgrades. You may find that you fully upgraded a piece of equipment and then don't have enough to buy the piece that could actually help you defeat your enemy. . The play formula becomes tiring after 20 to 40 levels. I cannot imaging finishing all 100 levels. . I would suggest only buying this game if its $2 to $4 on sale.

FUN. This game is fun. It either copies or pay homage to IPs like Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter. The 3D platforming is a joy and I constantly looked forward to see what was in store for me around every corner. Controls are almost perfectly tight. The only time I had a problem was when battling the little enemy computers. It felt like the punch happened a millisecond or two after pushing the button, but it wasn't a detriment to the enjoyment of the game. Also a couple of times I got caught in an obscuring camera angle, but it was very rare. The story is just meant to be fun but the voice acting of the main villain is HILARIOUS and is almost by **** reason to buy this game. My biggest complaint was that the game was way too short. Basically 3 medium sized worlds and a final stage. Difficulty is pleasant. Only twice did I have to repeat an area a few times in order to beat it. If you like 3D platformers then i highly recommend this title. I hope they do a sequel or an AAA version.

I know that I usually only come here to review when I do not like a game and want to complain, but in this case it is absolutely ESSENTIAL that some people hear about this. This game is AWFUL!!!!! Like a lot of people I was drawn in by the cool looking graphics and the promising hope that we were getting an "NBA JAM" game. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The controls are atrocious. Pressing the steal or shove button on defense causes your player to lag behind and let me tell you....100% of the time the AI opponents will score. And you better hope that you can predict the future because when trying to block a shot or go for a rebound, from the time you push the jump button to the point when he actually jumps is about 1 to 1.5 seconds. Its a useless feature. And the absolute worst part of an already horrible control system is the shoot button. The level of precision required to make sure that your shots are accurate remind me of NASA computer capabilities. You have to press the button and release at the right **** that "right timing" is different for every spot on the court and every shot variation. Its never the same and 30 out of 40 shots will be either "too early" or "too late". After approximately 35 games of Exhibition and Tournament, I've never won a game and have always been blown-out because the AI is FLAWLESS. WTF!!!!! Then there is the bonus system. When you build up your meter you get a bonus to help your team out. The Flawless AI gets the bonus constantly and it is something annoying like you have a reduced shot clock. Non-stop shot-clock violations. ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! And lastly, the AI always manages to get "perfect" shots and score 4 to 7 point for one basket. Thats right. You read this correctly. I'm struggling to stay close and one shot later the CPU scores 7 points. That is BOGUS. I am uninstalling the game and writing a letter to the pathetic developers demanding my $20 back. HOLY CRAP Saber Interactive, make a game that is fun to play instead of one that is a chore to operate. Steer clear of this game at all costs.

I want so very badly to give this game a 7 or an 8. It is one of those fun diversion games when you do not feel like delving into a serious game but wqnt some quick fun. But unfortunately it has one very fatal and SEVERE **** controls are glitchy and not perfectly responsive which is odd considering this type of game relies solely on the accuracy of your jumps and ducks. Sometimes you press the button to jump and literally nothing happens. You then wipe out or crash. Hopefully the game will get an update. My recommendation is that you avoid this game unless you read up on it and see if a fix had been made for the poor controls. To the developers, fix the controls' responsiveness and i will change this score. Until then, this game is to be avoided.

Game has a lot of charm. The story is ridiculous but it stays true to itself and flows in a nice manner. The gameplay is a bit repetitive but the change in environments, the ability to constantly unlock new gear and upgrades, and the search for side quests help to keep the game fresh. Plush, compared to other indie games, this one lasts a long time. I like the art style by this developer. Very original. I would definitely by a sequel and anything from this developer.

Recently bought this during a sale. Although the game is 50% story including actual video, the production, acting, and story writing were so fantastic that it actually had me glued to the monitor. Plus it has lance **** from Fringe. He is awesome. What a high quality production. The only thing preventing me from giving it a perfect 10 is the need for a little more polish on game mechanics. I wish the game was longer. Oh **** the ending to the story is **** mind **** ok.

Fun little game. Gets very hard after 30 levels. Also, maximum upgrades are achieved after approx 20 of the 100 levels. Good game for those hunting large size achievements.

I love top-down shooters. Unfortunately this is one of those aggravating games that shows you trailers of the action you crave but fails to deliver after the game is less than 20% complete. The action is in fact very nice. The controls could be a little tighter but overall not to bad. The problem is with the difficulty curve. It starts out easier as most games do, but by the end of the 2nd level, the boss is outrageous with hundreds of projectiles dancing across the screen. And if you die, you have to start over at the beginning of the level. The levels are not too long but they become tedious when you have to repeat them 30 to 50 times. I think the game would have been better if there were power-ups or upgrades that you could earn that would stick with you for future run throughs. But alas, the power-ups remain the same each time even coming from the same locations or fallen enemies. For a $5 price, its not bad, but with simple adjustments, this game could have been made great. Just be prepared to not get past the 2nd or 3rd level before uninstalling (never-mind the 10+ levels available)

This game is a nightmare for completionists. If you try to get all the jelly beans and lost campers in each level, you learn very quickly that this can never happen unless you play with two people and you finish the game first so that you can obtain all the costumes required to give you the powers needed to get to all the secret areas to get get all the collectibles. The controls are ok but not great. We picked this up on the X1 as it went on sale for 50% off. We decided to just speed running through the levels to complete the game and get all the achievements. Cute game for kids but its not for others who enjoy old school style platformers.. Only pick it up if it is on sale.

For the low price, this is quite an entertaining game. Its quick though. Easily completed in one night. Fun puzzle/strategy. Sometimes a tiny little mistake costs you the level and you have to repeat it, but that is not too big a deal as the levels themselves only last between several seconds to a couple of minutes. This title boils down to the price. Def worth it.

Bottom line is that this is a game that does not translate well to consoles. Its a point and click.....plain and simple. Attractive graphics and cute story but frustratingly boring for those with a controller in their hands. At one point I just decided to follow along with youtube videos just to get the achievements.

There are a couple of problems with this. First, the movement of the cursor is hard to judge where it is going. ex: You'll be moving it up and it will go to bottom edge because the tile you wanted was a half-space to the left. Also, if you "lose" there is no option to reshuffle the remaining tiles. This is a no brainer. Surprised it wasn't included. Honestly, Mahjong is meant for a mouse controlled pointer. But for $10 its not so bad. Nice music but its too loud. No music level control. Only on or off. But hey...complete your first puzzle and get a 100 point achievement.

THE CONTROLS ARE TERRIBLE!!! I jumped at the chance to buy this and play it. About 10 seconds into the gameplay I felt a HUGE wave of frustration as the controls are untenable. Its supposed to play like a 3rd person shooter but the screen sways so much when moving or looking that you can't get a fix on where you want to look or traverse any distance in a straight or clean manner. Even worse is the combat. Standing still to ready yourself for shooting is fine, but when enemies are chasing you you have to run far away to give yourself the time you need to ready yourself. The worst part is trying to turn yourself 180 degrees, it takes a solid 3 to 5 seconds which is just enough time for an enemy to hit or kill you. I know everyone wants to get this game for nostalgia reasons but TRUST **** NOT SPEND THE $20 for this game. You will be upset you spent the money within 10 minutes of starting the game. I think it is PATHETIC that they didn't clean up the controls prior to releasing this game. Half way through the first area and I uninstalled it already. I want my money back!!!!!!!

IGN's review by Dan Stapleton says it best. "No Man Sky’s biggest failing, though, is that after more than 25 hours played I’m effectively doing the same things I was doing in the first hour." The amazing thing is that this is exactly what I heard about this game 6 to 9 months ago. I am blown away that any hype was ever generated at all. This spells doom for the PS4.

So many variations on the Tetris formula. This is not one of the better ones. It reminds me of that Sega Genesis game Columns. I think if the controls worked like those, the game would be better. You can only rotate the falling groups as a whole instead of being able to rotate the colors within the group. Some frustration. The controls are a bit sensitive.. For the price its an interesting diversion but cannot hold your interest for an extended period.

I gave this the highest score within the red range. Let me tell you why you should avoid this game. I LOVED Crimsonland and spent many hours on it. It was so satisfying once I conquered it. But this game is NASTY difficult and annoying. Here are the problems with it: 1. The 3 gun selections are all slow to fire and VERY slow to reload. 2. The power-ups only come when you level up and that comes so infrequently that it will BLOW YOUR MIND. 3. The play area is so small for a game of its type. Imagine a game like Crimsonland with double the enemies and a quarter of the space to run around in. 4. The "hex" floor keeps rising and lowering. That combined with the falling objects cause your path to always be blocked and you wind up getting cornered and unable to move with hoardes approaching from all sides. Very frustrating. 5. Hoards and hoards of zombies. You may think that sounds cool, but just when you get excited about fighting off a hoard of zombies to the north (backpedaling while firing), another hoard approaches from the west. So you compensate your path. If the rising floor or campers don't block your path so that you are fighting at a combined hoard of 100+ with only a slow pistol or shotgun and RARE powerups, then another hoarde will be approaching from the east or south. There are only a total of 1 or 2 powerups that can truly get you out of a tough spot. Powerups are rare to begin with but these 2 are even more rare. For those who love this genre, the previews and game clips showed awesome potential, but in the end, after a solid 50 to 100 tries, this game will bring nothing but anger, frustration, and regret for having spent the money on it. Avoid this title and play Crimsonland if you haven't already. Its a shame because with just a couple of minor fixes, this game could be awesome. Lastly, the reason I didn't score it lower than a 4 was because it did have a few interesting moment with a few of the power-ups or weapons. What a shame there weren't more of them. Also the animation was cool and the minimalist environment was fine. So sad.

This is one of those games that draws you in with an interesting premise, and then...after you spent your money on **** realize that there is nothing more to the game than that one **** it repeats over and over and over and over until you decide that the games just not worth the effort of trying to complete. The 30th level is identical to the 1st. The only difference is that the developer put in some areas of great annoyance where you have to try to repeat an action 20 or 30 or 40 times in order to get past an obstacle. My solid advise is wait for this to either be part of a $1 flash sale, or wait and see if it becomes free after a period of time. Its only worth maybe $5 at most. Too bad the developers didn't decide to use some innovation here. The basic premise is pretty cool.

The #1 thing this game has going for it is its graphics. Gorgeous. True eye candy. And the depth perception is spot-on perfect. I also found the controls to be tight and intuitive. Kudos. There are, however, reasons I could not rate this higher. I understand the concept of YARN being the "thread" that binds the tapestry of our lives and relationships, but there is no story being presented. Right from the beginning we are made to understand who and what Yarny is. But there is no actual story that ever develops or resolves. Yarny and his adventure mean the same at the end as they did at the begining. I found the music repetitive. At first it was hauntingly beautiful but just kept looping and maintaining the same pace. I appreciated that the puzzles were not to challenging but sometimes at the end of a level I would think "That's it?" The platformer mechanics did not pose too great a challenge either. If the game were longer, this wouldn't be a big of an issue. Unfortunately the only reason to replay is to try to hunt down achievements. Nice game. Pretty game. Definitely NOT GotY material. I recommend the game at a price point of $10 or less. I would also welcome a sequel.

This is a steaming pile of garbage. When I first heard of a new version of the classic Super Buster Brothers I got so excited. One of the very rare times that i bought a game as soon as it released without doing any research first. What a mistake. This is crap compared to its classic counterpart. The old game was challenging but this one is stupid and annoying. They added these STUPID electric balls to the mechanic. When you hit them they send down a bolt of electricity that can fry you in an instant. There are some weapons that you MAY get that negate the shock. The developers thought they were adding a new twist tot he game. All it is is aggravating as it makes you have to repeat levels 20 to 50 time. HEY MORONS AT DOTEMU...THAT IS NOT WHAT GAMERS CONSIDER FUN. It gets to be so much of a chore that you have to just give up. With 5TB of gaming storage on my Xbox One, I never have to delete any game. I deleted this one just because it made me feel good to do so. Its the ONLY enjoyment I got from this game. And just to let everyone know how lazy and unprofessional the morons at DotEmu **** soon as you start the game it gives you a 60pt achievement just to "start you off". Pathetic. I'll be on the look out for all games they produce so I can steer clear of them. You'll be wise to do the same.

I gave this the highest score that was still in the red. This game had the potential of being an 8 or even a 9 but the amount of glitches and annoyances not only make this a lower rated game, but it makes it avoidable. I LOVE top down or twin stick shooters. When I fist downloaded I was in **** then reality set in. The first thing to annoy me was that the play fields only let you go in very specific places, so once you took out some bad guys or collected something, you couldn't just go to your next objective. You literally have to backtrack at a snail's pace to get to your next position. Next...several times I got stuck on the map. DO NOT go near an edge or border as a glitch will keep you there and you will have to abort and restart. Also, there is a very specific way that your characters move together. If one of them gets stuck behind an object (especially trees), the others will get stuck as if they are all glued together. The straw that broke the camel's back that made me delete this from my console was one of the missions where the objective was to shoot from a moving tank and all you have to do is survive. There is a secondary objective where you can kill all the **** its not really secondary. At intersections, if you do not kill all the infantry, your tank will not proceed. And then, ****, some of those infantry are out of range. So after 10 minutes of trying to shoot them (because they won't move) and realizing that your tank wont move because he is still alive, I was forced to abort. Repeat the same thing 3 or 4 more times. Lastly, before going into missions, you have the option of "hiring" an extra person (specialist) for that mission. It is very helpful and a nice thing to have if you need it. Unfortunately, after about 20% of the missions, the button becomes "grayed" out and you can't use it anymore. No explanations. No help online as to why this happens...even when you restart the game. Honestly...I am convinced with 100% certainty that Wired Productions NEVER play-tested this game. So much potential and so poorly executed that I will purposely avoid anyhting ever made by Wired Productions and strongly urge you to do the same.

Let me explain why the score is so low. (And yes, one of the reasons I'm writing this is in the hopes that the developers will read it) I have always loved brawlers like Streets of Rage, Final Fight, any Turtles game, so I had great anticipation for this game. As always I played on Normal. I don't mind difficult games or even games where I have to repeat an area after dying, but this game was aggravating. Yes it gets difficult after the first few levels, but it also get frustrating as new enemies are introduced and the high learning curve that it takes to learn how to beat them causes many of your deaths. Then on top of that you ALWAYS have to start back at the beginning of the level losing all your kills, score, and stats that you accumulated. Most gamers who like brawlers/beat-em-ups do not mind the thumb-mashing repetition. But when it happens as the result of poor enemy design, and poor health mechanics, that is just old-fashioned frustration. **** nail in the coffin: I consider myself to be a casual completionist (I know that sounds like an oxymoron). I don't have to collect everything but when I see alternate paths, I usually like to have the option of going back and making sure I explore each of them. In this game, when you see a split, it is usually because one path leads to the bonus star, and the other leads to the level's end. As with a lot of games you can't tell which one is which. That is fine, but once you choose a path, a force-field goes up and you cannot backtrack. On level 5 I took a path and saw just a little ways up that if I took the other path, I could get the bonus star. It would NOT let me go back. The only way to get back there is to literally replay the level. This is just lazy game design as the Xbox One certainly has the tech specs to allow for an entire 2D level to be held in memory. My apologies to Rimlight. The game is cute and could have had the potential of rating a 6, 7, or 8, but these MULTIPLE issues make it an effort best forgotten. Try it if you get it for free but that's all. Avoid it if you have anxiety issues. PS: Not much better on "Easy". Thank you.

Unfortunately this is heading in the direction of Ghosts (which was the worst incarnation of CoD yet). The Campaign is ok but a lot of people prefer to not play co-op. Why should a solo-player have to have a different experience from those that have friends and can do co-op. Zombies is the same fare as usual which is fine. No problems there. The multiplayer is downright sub-par. 1 - The maps are average at best. to many are too large. Short range weapons are mostly irrelevant. There are more camping corner spots than in any other CoD. Also, not a lot of maps to choose from. 2 - The gun selection is also average. There doesn't seem to be much difference between them. Sure there are differences but as compared with other CoDs (even Ghosts) it doesn't seem to matter which weapon you use. 3 - Environments are pretty but the character animations seem like last-gen. Also, everything seems a bit laggy. Its definitely not my connection as I can play 4 different online games in a day and this is the only one that is laggy. I'm a fan of CoD and have played every one. MW2 was my favorite. BO and BO2 were awesome. I even thought AW was pretty good. Unfortunately I think this one will go down as a terrible entry. The only reason I didn't score it lower is that there is always the chance that it might grow on me...especially after some DLC. We'll see. I pray the next CoD goes back to some original formulas.

Very very addictive. When i first saw it i thought it would be a Zuma clone. Its more like a Luxor **** still very addictive. There is always the sense of have to play just one more level before finishing for the day. Controls are SPOT ON PERFECT. Graphics are pleasing. The music is incredible. Its like something out of Harry Potter. There are not many addictive puzzle games for the X1. At this price....grab it and be entertained for many hours.

If you like games where you have to repeat the same sections over and over (10 to 100 times) just to get past a stupid obstacle, then this is your game. The game is frustrating. And if you like achievements, then plan on playing this simple anger-fest for about 50+ hours. Honestly, a chess or checkers game would be more entertaining. Don't waste your money!!!!!!!

Outstanding title. To start, the game is absolutely gorgeous and the controls are tight and spot on. The mark **** game is when you actually get a sense of vertigo being near a high cliff. My 9 and 7 year olds had a blast watching me explore this alien terrain. The story is great and everyone should be satisfied with the ending. Here are the reasons I didn't give it a 10. #1: There were a couple of spots where I got stuck in a crevasse and had to reload to a checkpoint. Not a big **** it only happened 2 times over 10+ hours. #2: I was having a lot of fun exploring (and there is plenty of space to explore) but there is almost nothing to find. they should have littered the environment with more goodies and/or discoveries and/or secrets. . Bottom line. This game was worth every penny.

Here is this game in a nutshell: 1. Pay money for game. 2. Fool around with game for a bit. 3. Realize that there is a VERY finite number of things you can do. 4. Realize that there is a VERY small environment in which to do those things. 5. Decide to do a few crazy things in order to get the achievements (because there is nothing better to do with the "game" 6. Become board with those crazy things. 7. Quit game and actually decide to uninstall it from your hard drive. 8. Kick yourself in the ASS for having spent your hard earned money on such a steaming pile of turd.

This game is SOOOOO unforgiving. Its brutally hard and near impossible to get the full 1000 gamer score. This is one of those games that should have achievements for how many times you die. This is for those who are either expert gamers, or have ENDLESS patience. The only reason I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 is because the first couple of levels did make it seem interesting but it very quickly became a haphazard mess and the single biggest waste of my hard earned dollars in my history of owning consoles. Also, this game taught me a valuable lesson about blindly buying new games. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

WARNING!!! This game is the biggest steaming pile of crap ever released on PSN. If you are looking for a twin stick shooter, this has about as much action to it as a turtle race in a pool of molasses. For every scene of shooting you haver to sit through a lot of reading, story, background, and recapping. Don't bother trying to play alone. You have to be able to shoot, constantly Constantly CONSTANTLY manually reloading, running out of ammo, calling in for supply drops and other support drops all while hordes of baddies are overrunning you. Is a haphazzard and messy pile of mayhem. It was a HUGE waste of $20 and after 1 hour has been deleted off my system. . I love twin stick shooters so much but this pile of garbage is an insult to the genre and to videogamers' intelligence. On this 1 to 10 rating scale, I would honestly give this somewhere between a 2.0 and 4.0 depending on your mood. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!

Very fun action. Puzzles are not to overwhelming. Very story driven but it neither takes over your play time nor does it leave you thirsting for more. Its just right. Only complaint is that I had to hit RB so many times to find stuff in the environment. Should figure out a different way. Lastly, (and my review and score have nothing to do with this), from a realism standpoint, this character model or Lara Croft is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in a video game. I practically fell in love with her.

Very unique concept. Basically a 2.5D platformer with fun graphics and real cooky story line. Some of the speech is long winded but fortunately you can speed it up to get through it fast (makes them sound like chipmunks). Bottom line is that game is a fun diversion. You can finish it in 1 to 3 days. Its also priced slightly less than your average Live Arcade game. Here is one complaint though: After you finished the game, you can go back to get the things you missed in order to gain achievements. Unfortunately, you can't just go for THOSE things alone. You have to repeat getting everything (reading minds).

I disagree that the game deserves a zero like some say. It is not a very good game. It has the FPS element down pretty **** that is about it. In campaign, you are constantly in the same **** is everyone else. People steal kills from me. What is so special about me (a level 7) when a level 15 guy comes along and kills my targets. So I'm getting board with the environments and the interference. Monotony is a perfect word to describe the campaign. Multiplayer is so haphazard. Everyone jumping and jetpacking around. You can't get a fix on anything. But everymatch does seem to have 1 or 2 hotshots who will one-shot kill you.....constantly. The multiplayer is mediocre at best. What is most annoying is the dashboard and this stupid Tower, Action is confined to a monotonous environment unless you go to orbit where you have to choose locations and then launch and then wait. Very monotonous and boring. The Tower is such a waste of our time. Instead of doing everything in one place or screen, you have to run around this town and interact with many individuals to get anything done or acquire anything useful. Honestly, if it wasn't for the core FPS mechanics being sound, I probably would have scored it a 0 or 1. I will play a few more times and then go back to Titanfall. I'll also get the Metro redos and that Wolfenstein game. But this one is all done. **** hopes after a year's worth of hype. Poor job Bungie. Also, there were no improvements from the Beta. Now just keep my fingers crossed for Sunset Overdrive and Advanced Warfare.

Vigors are completely non-relevant to the game. Except for opening a couple of doors, you can do the entire game with guns. Also, after months of hype about the Handyman, making us think he was this game's Big Daddy, he shows up a whopping 3 times. 3 times?!?! Are you kidding me? Story was OK. ..not **** ok. Action was sporadic at best. Compared to the first 2 games, this was a failing effort. It blows my mind that so many simpltons are praising this when clearly, despite all the delays, this was a very rushed effort.

Having always played both games, I can't help but feel that this is just a cheap knock-off. The campaign is the worst of its genre and the multiplayer is poorly designed in both the mechanics and the map design. I think I was expecting more. Its just not as fun as the CoD games. I played this until MW3 came out, but now I need to sell this on eBay and focus on achieving Prestige in MW3. BTW, some people say the Multiplayer is more realistic. here is some news for you.....more realistic does not equal more fun or make it a better game. Enjoy.

CoD has a formula. We know what it is. Change it drastically and its not CoD anymore. Within this that we accept, MW3 does CoD better than ever before. It has presented new mechanics and game modes that spice up an existing franchise as much as an existing franchise can be spiced up. This is entertainment. This is fun. The people rating it a 0 are either saboteurs or just wining crying babies who quibble over minutiae. Please don't expect me to cry for you because you feel that the guns reload to fast. You need to become a game developer and create the changes you want. But **** your game for sale up on eBay and sell it to someone who wants to have fun. Whatever you ****'t play it again or you are a hyppocrit. Game of the ****. Great game that is a lot of ****.
