- wow. this game is the biggest piece of garbage ever. i'd rather eat garbage. the graphics are the worst ever in a game. they are probably worse than the N64. and don't even get me started on the framerate issues. the game's character movements are terrible and choppy, the characters all look like robots, and the game constantly freezes. also everyone knows that nobody uses guns in a war; what kind of bullsh*t is that; everyone knows that they have pillow fights.

- Don't get this score wrong, it is a very good game, well at least the multiplayer is. But the very bad propaganda against those bad old terrorists in the Arab lands where fighting is an every day thing, according to most reviewers, is very insulting. And seeing a kid pretending to be on the front line playing this, killing 'these stinking Muslims', made me give this 2.

Really don't get the huge ratings for this game. All I see are 8's and 10's, seriously, could this game be more suck?
Naturally, when I got the game I thought it would be good, I mean, it has two f*cking helpcopters on the front cover, so I was like, "Dude! I get to fly helicopters?!"
Sadly, to my dismay, I could not fly around in a simulator like fashion taking off and landing as I pleased.
The graphics were about as good as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2000 (Which I play daily), so I guess that's a plus.
But really, I didn't get the point of all this "[genre]" stuff. I turned on the game and was like, "What is this?" I just don't get why on the front cover you would have helicopters yet not let the player fly them all over.
Bad Marketing, Bad Game, Bad choice at not having helicopters. I think the last one miiiiight be sarcastic, but I included it on the off-chance it wasn't. Fire away, gents! |

- This is the cancer killing gaming. Grim dark inter-active movie for edgy children who think it is masterpiece but it is actually on the level of saturday morning cartoon in terms of depth. The gameplay which is what games are meant to be about is shallow, vapid and boring. Its basically a "game from the dev" reskinned from this incredibly over rated developer.

- I dont know why people say this game is good. I mean, there are plenty of great other zombie games that are much better like dead rising. the graphics are ok, but the game is still bad. im sorry for you fanboys that like bad games. i dont understand why people buy these garbade games that ruin the undustry

- If this game is good for anything, it's the performances. The performances were the only thing that kept me playing. Sadly the gameplay is terrible and the story is formulaic. It seems as if the developers chose to focus more on the story rather than the gameplay. "games title" would work better as an average movie.

- After one hour playing you will say ' This is the Game of the Year baby' .... but a 3 to 4 hours in it will hit you. Its a bloody disaster.
From the magic of [previous game in series] on the ps to the madness on [more recent entry] with all those crazy cut scenes i have loved every minute of the series. What i loved was the epic boss battles and the clever tricks that made you say "wow that was cool" - The characters like [two characters], the [gameplay element], the music but most of all the STORY!!!!
I'm afraid all of the elements i loved about [game series] have gone (maybe the music is ok). apart from an interesting opening scene the story is so so so poor. Not only is it poor but it doesn't flow, you spent hours doing missions that mean nothing in terms of the story and it just kills the flow! Its all good being able to sink hours and hours into a game but not when its doing the same thing over and over and over. I would be happy with half the mission but having a good [game series] story, making every minute count, i wanted to feel part of the story and sit back and enjoy those cool cut scenes. So i tried hard to do so, i tried to fly through the main missions to get a feel for the story and yes the cut scenes came faster at the sacrifice of stealthy game-play, but it didn't matter as the story is pathetic. Man i'm angry
Positive things.....Yes the game-play is good... [edited for length]
Negative things - Story is shockingly bad , characters are dull ... The missions are repetitive and have no meaning. I'm right near the end of the game and it has been a real struggle, even if the last boss/twist is going to be phenomenal i don't care, this game has no soul, its not a [game series]!
[edited for length]
[Game name] is confused. It wants [genre] style but cant compete with [examples of the genre], and in trying to give users the [genre] feel (which did sound amazing when i first heard it) it has taken away the soul of [game series], and what a Soul it was. 4/10

Honestly, I wish I could share all the reviews for this game. A lot of the classic "pretty average, but because it's scored highly I'm giving it a zero" nonsense that shows why metacritic is inherently flawed, lots of crybabies, but I'll finish on a good ol' fashioned conspiracy theory nutcase. - Spoilered for length:

I didn't read anything about this game before playing it, merely saw that it was an ugly game with overwhelmingly positive reception. I bought it expecting it to have great writing, characters, plot, or gameplay, and was disappointed when all of those things turned out to be sub-par as well. Reading the reviews after playing the game, I couldn't believe them.
The author tries to be cute and quirky and comes across to me as annoying and puerile; he acts as if breaking the fourth wall and being self-deprecating is the height of wit. The characters are cliches and shallow caricatures of people he seems to know in real life. The combat is boring and frustrating. The one interesting idea in the game, "monsters are people", can't single-handedly carry the entire game. Before the end I couldn't wait for this, one of the least enjoyable gaming experiences of my life, to be finally over. The ending was a perfunctory deus ex machina.
The huge disconnect between my opinion of this game and the average opinion has made this a psychological puzzle, more interesting to me than the game itself. I believe I understand the problem. The game's payload is a single emotional experience. The emotion is guilt; it relies on a plot twist, and its effect is increased by making the people in the game cute and familiar. I didn't identify with the guilt trip as much as some--the payload was so underwhelming for me, that it didn't even occur to me that it might move someone enough to like the game.
If you want more about guilt, play Planescape: Torment or Star Control 2 or read Crime and Punishment or an Ayn Rand novel. If you're looking for a cheerful, benevolent RPG (as one might expect this one to be based on its description), play The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. If you like having the choice between being good and evil, play Planescape: Torment, KOTOR 1 & 2, or Fallout 1 & 2. If you like GAME's characters, look into Baldur's Gate (I don't like either, but like Jar Jar Binks they're similarly silly and annoying and beloved by people who baffle me).
On an ironic note, GAME is a game about guilt whose fans en masse downvote useful negative reviews while upvoting useless positive ones. I believe this game's lesson is: if you treat cutesy things harshly, you will feel guilty. Players consequently find it impossible to criticize the game, and try to make themselves feel like good people by singing its praises. That's why it makes sense for fans to say that people who criticize this game have no soul. GAME guilt-trips players into giving it positive reviews.
- I think this one might be satire?:

- WARNING: Fanboys are reporting and removing the negative reviews of this game, I speak the truth!! Please note that if you can't handle my quality review of this game and have it removed, I will repost it on my alternate account.
This is my legitimate journalistic review of GAME. Story: Relies too much on Family Guy style humor and has no heart. Very generic and boring!! 0/10. Graphics: Terrible. There are Atari 2600 games that look better! 0/10, Gameplay: boring puzzles and rpg combat, really easy, generic, and takes no skill! 0/10 Optimization: Only runs on PC! I couldn't run it on my Xbox One so I was stuck playing it on an old laptop where it ran poorly! 0/10! Music: Just a bunch of weird computer generated songs that hurt my ears! Very annoying!!! 0/10
OVERALL SCORE: 0/10!!! I can't recommend this game to anybody! The high review scores on here make me think that the developer paid for them! Very possible this is the worst game of all time. If you want me to recommend a game better than GAME, I'd suggest Madden or Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.

| Another set of crap reviews for you lot. - jrh13 wrote:
- Story,Characters,Twists, Blah Blah Blah. It's good for a game to have a decent story once in a while, but the gameplay still has to be good for it to be a good game. All you do in this is sit through cutscenes, walk around a little, go through a tedious combat section, sit through more cutscenes, read some dialogue, walk around, another boring combat section, more dialogue, more cutscenes, and then it's over. The outdated graphics don't help either.

- This game is boring. Graphics are horrible, and they could've done better. I wouldn't be so angry if that was the best they can do, but I saw other [console] games that have WAY better graphics than this. [character] has like horse hands. And it's always so dark. And, it's SUPER boring. It's impossible to finish this game.

- From what many people say, "The Best Game Ever". Unfortunately, I can't disagree more. What we are presented with here, is a game with a mediocre at best storyline. They tried to infuse it with so much psychological meaning, that they ruined it. The music is good, for the most part. Unfortunately, most people only remember the song, "[famous track from OST]". There are many other songs in this game, most of which being subpar when compared to previous [series] soundtracks. All in all, it is a shame that this is how the [name of series] series was immortalized when much of the groundwork of this game was started in [previous game in series]. But hey, who wants to hear that?
Guessing time! |

| I was thinking OoT as well, but the song mention swayed me. Few pieces of gaming music are as mentioned, either with a squeal or a sigh, as OWA.
(Dancing Mad is better, though.)
