Many people say Valkyria Chronicles is an underrated Game. But the game couldn't electrify me. Maybe the game mechanics are nice but the childish story prevented most fun for me.

+ individual items with individual look + every type of weapon has individual attack moves + new kind of skill system with sufficient impact + nice and fresh fantasy world + good difficulty + responsive fights + intense atmosphere + good sound effects + very good graphics + beautiful animations + good default controller configuration * no quest log * no map - difficulty varies - crashes with Nvidia Graphics (solved?) - other crashes - camera in tight areas - bad focus selection - unimportant magic spells

Overall the game seems to be unfinished. Control are delayed. One can't use left or right trigger of the Xbox-Controller. If one reconfigures controls, the menu buttons will change as well. If you unassign them, you won't be able to navigate through the menu anymore. These are elementary thing every game should have. Graphics and coop are nice but the game hardly playable for me.

The Idea is great: Experiencing music more intense while actually playing the song. Game speed adapts wonderfully to the music. But there are nine bad game modes instead of a single good one. Two game modes are boring. The others are totally complicated. If you want to play with a friend one will have to play with mouse and the other with a controller. The problem is that controllers can't compete with mouse. Sadly the lack of elementary functions like the ones above ruin the game.

I like the game principle. But the tower defense part is to small. In some levels there is not enough time between waves to create a proper tower combination. If the towers were able to kill everything without your hero (e.g. by picking other abilities), i would have liked it more.

First of all: I don't care about view. I play with hud cam. It gives me a good sensation for speed and the best overview. Graphics is obviously excellent. Handling is not too arcade. It feels different whether you pick a car with rear-wheel drive or not. Compared to the Need for Speed series it feels like a simulation. Biggest downside is the DLCs money making. Many people seem to complain because Codemasters didn't develop the game they wanted. But disappointment is normal as long as long as you expect experience (like you had in some nostalgic predecessor) in the first few minutes. Spend some time with the game. I've spend 30 hours with the game and for me it's the best racing game at the moment.

I became addicted. that doesn't happen often to me. If you dislike difficulty, try easy mode. The randomness can make you unhappy but it makes you having a real space adventure. Only bigger drawback is the lack of events for long term players.

The first good Worms Game in 3D. People here seem to complain about the camera controls. But controls are just first person view standard. I had so much fun with friends playing this game. So my rating is more for long term multiplayer.
