I haven't played it yet, but will. Rayman Origins was fantastic but sadly a commercial flop. I don't get it, these games are fun, funny, provide plenty of content and the graphics are just jaw-dropping.
Typically loath this dude but everything he says about Zeldas past is true. I love, LOVE the franchise, and it broke my heart, iteration after iteration never living up to it's potential. The first DS zelda was so close but sunk to the depths of crap ocean with that stupid, idiotic recitative dungeon, and Spirit Tracks did suck, it sucked big time, especially because it was another Zelda game that teased greatness but fell so far short. This new Zelda is the reason I will be picking up a 3DS.
No more time limit?! Finally a reason to play this this series. Bought dead rising 1 years ago and thought it was brilliant EXCEPT for that F-ing time limit/save search. That one STUPID, STUPID, STUPID design decision made me sell the game and never look back. Time limits are the most tedious fun sucks in any game. This looks fun, will have to check it out.
@smiseck COD has a loyal fanbase, but it's still COD - no one really expects too much from them. This series has serious pedigree and people expect more and more (unfairly? maybe) but people have actual expectations. I think this site, for some stupid reason, likes to be harder on games while IGN tends to be a little too generous. This reviewer is usually really good though, unlike that idiot Tom McShea, she's generally right on the money. Never judge a review by the number, just by what is said and make your decisions from that info. I bought games with low scores solely because what the reviewer was complaining about happened to be exactly what I wanted, which sounds like your experience here.
HA! Finally a game this doofus can get on board with; one you watch but don't play. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against this kind of game, as long as you know what you're getting into. And if you don't know what kind of game this is and are disappointed, learn your lesson and do a little research, and for God sakes play the demo. These games are great for those people who happen to enjoy them. I played Heavy Rain, and while it was a QTE fest that was too draconian about mistakes, it was a decent bargain bin purchase nonetheless. It was OK. This looks like more of the same. My problem is that this horrible reviewer gushes over this kind of pseudo-game while dismissing the brilliant The Last of Us. This site is really going to hell, the new look takes too long to load, is over complicated with flashy annoying folderol, and hack reviewers like this one. Seriously, relegate this hack to games like this or just cut him loose. LOL - The problem is I watch his idiot reviews solely for the entertainment they give me - this guy is like Helen Keller reviewing paintings. What a joke - come on gamespot nix this fool.
@TacticaI Totally, I would dread hearing, "We have a man down" that meant it was time to run and hide, or prepare to fight a ton of dudes, while wasting precious ammo
@tekksin @Nazmus Yeah, this game walked the line between annoying frustration and exhilarating white knuckled gameplay. And it nailed it. Amazingly tense game, and the frustration only lasts a few seconds because once you're about to quit, you persevere.
@JuanAndresG2001 @Dredcrumb9 @tornado9632 UC2 deserved the 9s and 10s. It was amaziballz. Uncharted 1 was pure garbage with PS2 graphics and Uncharted 3 was a laxy been there, done that retread with nothing new and enemy encounters that were neither fun nor challenging yet took forever to get through. UC3 huge dissapointment. The Last of Us is a fine return to form and has me excited what this studio will do next, too bad if it's another Uncharted game, that series needs to be put down like Ol' Yeller
@UltraredM This review was lazy and uninformative. The score ludicrously low, and I think on purpose. I like how you call people names then boast about all the brilliant emotionally charged games you've experienced, but suspiciously don't name any of them. Let me guess, Halo? Crash Bandicoot? Name a game with both this much emotional resonance, and with action this tense.
