Tournament of Legends EuroGamer review - 3/10.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/tournament-of-legends-review?page=2

"As a showcase for the Wii's technical abilities, the game is an embarrassment, graphically equivalent to those relics of 3D gaming's earliest days. And while the paucity of game modes would be forgiveable if those on offer sizzled with brilliance, in this context they bespeak a game rushed to completion and released with the very minimum of functional requirements. As a result, the only redeeming quality is the echo of ambition that can be faintly heard in the ruins of execution."

So this, The Conduit, Conduit 2 and The Grinder are all suppose to be graphical 'showcases' for the Wii from HVS. Well two failed so far. Third times a charm maybe?

I think everyone knew this game was trash.

goblaa

QTEs in a fighter? what they were thinking?

the graphics are really bad too

Seems just like another Castlevania Judgement type game ...saw this was gonna get it but didn't.

I saw this in the comments section and lol'd

"Hey High Voltage !!!

3dfx called from 1998... They'd like their Glide API back." :P

a fighting game where you waggle to attack and you can't combo. looks horrid, controls don't respond well, gameplay's awful. there you go, should help you with your thinking.BrunoBRS

[QUOTE="wiifan001"] I'm not sure if Tournament of Legends is to be classified as shovelware. I'll have to think more into it. Haziqonfire

Wasn't excited about it when I first saw it.I knew it was going to be a poor game.Maybe IGN will give it a good review :P

Well I'm not surprised. I even forgot this game existed for a litttle bit.

When they first showed this game, it actually looked really good as a technical thing if I remember correctly. Now it looks like crap. How do they downgrade in a year of development?

The Grinder looked actually pretty good. Hopefully HVS doesn't ruin it. Judging from history however...

i dont think anyone is really surprise :P

I completely forgot that this game even existed.

another crappy game from HVS. no surprise here.

Why are people saying the graphics look bad? They look pretty good to me, though they took a bit of a nosedive from when the game was Gladiator AD. Of course, a **** game in the fun department makes the graphics pretty much worthless.

As soon as it went from Bloody Gladiator to Chartoony Tournament of Legends I knew this was going to be a failure.

This is hurting Conduit 2.

Hard to make money with games that don't have appeal to anyone. In short, no one's going to buy this game, especially when it now seems to be on its way to getting critically hammered in the coming weeks. I doubt its new 'lighter' approach is going to appeal towards many families, since it's still a gladiator-type fighting game with a less than sparkling are design. The transition was probably just to lighten the load and expectations of the game, since it was never destined to be a mega-seller to begin with, even as "Gladiator A.D."

I hate to be the voice of reason but.... Basically you sound like you are clinging to the worst review and using it as the norm .http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/tournamentoflegends?q=tournament%20of%20legends and thats a bit pathetic if you ask me.You hated the game or the dev, which is average and nowhere else besides eurogamer it was critiziced for having low tech visuals.Haters cling to this review to justify their hate for a game they havent played or seen on their tvs(as i havent neither). I dont care much about the game at all.i just think you gotta be fair and make sense. Look a the replies."saw it coming".Eurogamer i trust you! Before Eurogamers review the average was above 60, which is pretty average, so what if the following reviews follow the current majority trend? But no, people would rather cling to the worst review instead of looking for the consensus .haters are gonna hate...but is still sad.I hope eurogamer isnt your measure of qualitfying a game from now on. i just care about being impartial and making sense.intro94

This was the first review I saw of the game, thus the thread. Stop assuming things.

I got it and so did alot of other people that i see in other forums. The game is no where near as bad as the reviews give it.

I find it ridiculous that you people are bashing a game you have never played. I for one have the game and have thoroughly enjoyed. It's not perfect but is fun as hell. Play a game before you knock it. I wouldn't have found a lot of my favorite games if I never played games that got reviewed badly.

I've never understood this line, even though it seems to be quite popular - if everyone had to get a game and play it before deciding that they don't want it, then everyone would basically have to play every game ever made. The entire point of things like reviews, previews, gameplay videos, and the like, is to make it so that you can make that decision for free.

[QUOTE="Michael0134567"] I agree.Maybe they're just trying to make more money for Conduit 2.gnomi29

You and a few other online forum members =/= a successful game, even if the game's a 'budget title' now. I still don't see this game selling to anyone outside of the HVS fanatics that go crazy about everything it does and STILL believe that it's this amazing developer, even in the face of one disappointment after another.

if the speed and framerate was better, it could been ok.

now it just seems like a hassle to play.
