But it's a system seller. RAD is the next Naughty Dog.

The fact that so many people actually believed this game would be something pisses me off to no end. It was clear from day one that it'd be all fluff and because Sony needed an early-year seller they overmarketed it hoping it'd fill the gap. Even Knack wasn't as bad with how many people hyped it up as a huge title.

 

Not to say it's a bad game. For $10 it's alright. Still very much a commercialized filler game people were simply told they wanted, but it's playable, although the mechanics are about as stiff as some of the acting. I'm ranting purely about the game's marketing and pre-launch hype. 

If RAD was the next Naughty Dog they would never have made the gameplay choices they made with this game.
