Thing I don't understand is, both of the MonHun clones we've had on Vita have been reviewed by Colin Mortiarty. Comparatively, Kezza did the most recent review for MonHun on Wii-U and it's like night and day difference between the two. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Colin's review. For the most part, I liked it, and I haven't played the game so I can't judge him on it. But Kezza mentioned that she played at least 50 hours in MonHun; Colin played 20 for his review. Kezza said that multi-player was "crucial" to the experience in MonHun; Colin made passing mention towards the end of his review that the game could be played co-operatively. I'd hazard a guess that he didn't spend more than an hour trying the multi-player. It's little things like that which niggle me about the review. Like I said, I don't have an overbearing hatred for it; but why not get Kezza or someone different to write the review who has a better understanding of the genre? Just seems odd. |
Yeah, that's what I mean about "I hate Western Journalism", because it's so uneven. I get that the guy doesn't like that genre, but similarly you wouldn't get someone who's really into Sci-Fi films to watch a chick flick. Wrong target audience.
But yeah, certainly seems as though Colin was reviewing it because he had to, whilst Kez was doing it for the fun of it, and that's a big difference.
