Don't Listen To What Anyone Says.. Gravity Rush is a Mediocre Game.

For all those who are on the fence on Gravity Rush, I would suggest just hold off until you can find it for 20 dollars. The score for GS is very accurate... just look at IGN scores as well. All signs point that this game is mediocore, so I dont know why everyone saying Gravity Rush is amazing, when in reality, its not that great. Sure, its is entertaining, but it quickly gets boring for these reasons:

The story is broken (many things are left unanswered), characters are very one dimensional (there is no depth or real emotion to them. You never form an attachment to any of them), and there are no side quests. So because of these things, your interests quickly falls.

With that said, sure the game is fun, but dont expect a great free roaming game. The music is great and the atmosphere is good, however, you're left with this empty feeling that this game could be so much more.

Define Medicore ? what score would you have given it ? Probably a 7.5 from me or 8 that seems a good score for it.

Ignore the majority opinion and follow yours. Gotcha!!!

The way I see it:

• If you love games for their simplest mechanics, you'll love this game for its brilliantly unique movement mechanics, and it'll rise above its weaker aspects - combat and story. Eurogamer's review shows this.
• If you get dragged down by repetitive or shallow combat mechanics, you'll not likely enjoy the bulk of the game very much, because it does focus very much on combat. Gamespot's review shows this.

I'd suggest reading both. They both show a very different point of view, and you can decide which one you relate with more. Personally, I opted to not buy the game based on the Gamespot review. Game combat usually bores me, and the Gravity Rush demo did the same. If the price is significantly reduced, I'll probably give it a try for its beautiful worlds, but the combat drags it down for me.

its not that bad of a game, people said the same about f1 2011 vita version. i enjoyed the f1 game and not to mention its a easy platinum.

I should've read more than just his title then. I admit that fault on my part and do agree mostly with him (aside from the initial mediocre claim...and maybe the $20 price point is a little low I think it's worth more than that presently.)

I was planning on waiting for a price drop anyways...

"Dont Listen To What Anyone Says" Ok, then i guess i shouldn't listen to your rant.

Mediocre game to one could be great to another. its all subjective to the gamer. Honestly I like gravity rush and think that a 6.5 and a 8.5 are both very valid scores. Some will become drawn in by the mechanics, story, and presentation while those same qualities appall others.

So I would like to rephrase what you said and say "Dont listen to what anyone says....try Gravity Rush and come to your own conclusion."

Wow, you're really late to the party, finished it a long time ago xD Anyway, I doubt many praised it as one of the best games or whatever, but despite it's flaws (especiallywhen it comes to navigating and attacking), it was able to keep me entertained until I finished it and I don't finish that many games. So yeah, I'd give it a 7.5 or an 8

I agree that the experience was somewhat lacking, but the gameplay and artstyle were rather unique.

Also, telling people to completely disregard other opinions is foolish.

It was an okay game with some good potential, but like most people have said, it was so-so. I haven't really played GR in a while, and the only reason why I still consider playing it is to get those last couple of achievements from the DLC that are frustrating. But I might just give up on it. I mean, I have some other games on my VITA now, and better cartridge games are out there. If I got Disgaea 3 or LBPV then GR probably wouldn't set foot in my VITA again lol.

I don't really like the timed side-missions. I think there are like 2 tracks I need to get silver and gold on yet , but they just get so tedious... In one of them you have to get through the stage with limited health, and you're flying through tubes of fire and enemies. In the other it was just a rediculously long course you had to complete. And I've already pretty much completed everything else and maxed out my stats, so it doesn't seem like it would mean much if I did manage to complete them.

But I thought the game's concept was good, and I wouldn't mind a decent sequel.
