finally played The Order. my Sony biased opinion UPDATE finished it

[Fei-Hung]

Not sure about a flop. I'm pretty sure Sony knew what the game was going to play like and how long the game was going to be. They aren't going to throw money at any developer and know nothing about the project.

Secondly, this was RADs first big console release. I highly doubt Sony would give RAD a big budget if they are unproven in the console field, especially on a brand new console.

As for the score, I think 6 is about right. I felt there wasn't enough gameplay and gameplay variety for it to score any higher. The Lycan sections were badly designed and the whole game felt like a prologue to a franchise in the making.

I wonder even if this franchise will ever take off after the bad publicity and start it has received and therfore, if it is worth making a sequel considering a sequel will have to be frigging brilliant for people to trust to buy it after what people experienced with the original.

Although I bought it at launch, I'm just glad I traded it within 2 days and only lost £5 on trade thanks to my store price matching it.
