It wasn't bad at all, but I finsihed it and I doubt I'll ever play it again.
I don't feel like writing a full review of it at the moment, but here's a quick list of some of the pros and cons:
Pros
Cons
All in all, it was a good game. If I had to give it a rating right now, I would say give it a low 8. The game itself was good but the movement controls were just so bad, the camera was terrible, and because of that you just don't really want to play through it again. It's just long enough you don't want to rent it but short enough with little replay value that $60 is too much.
-edit-
And before CGI tells me he has replayed the game 20 times, all I have to say is you're not the norm. Most people will get a single playthrough out of this and little more than that.
Also, I had my friend that I was thinking of getting a PS3 play it yesterday.
She isn't a gamer and she wanted to play it because she's a film person. She made it through about 2-3 hours yesterday and she liked it.
Pros
Cons
Also, watching her play the scene with Nathanial was *hilarious*.
It got to the point where he brought the gun out and she had the option to just shoot him or talk him down. She started talking him down and asked me if it was possible. I told her I didn't even bother trying and shot him. So she kept trying and eventually talked the crazy guy down. The guy then reached inside his coat for the crucifix and she immediately shot him because she thought he was about to hurt Blake.
She saw what she had done and she was crushed and wanted to restart because she was afraid bad things were going to happen.
CGI-Quality said: Pretty funny, when many people have played it more than once. Your time with it =/= the whole world, and I never insinuated that mine would. |
I only made that comment because I read your above post.
And if the controls weren't so dreadful I would say people might go through the game again, but horrible controls + slow beginning + can't skip dialogue = not everyone will want to play through it again.
And remember, forum goers are the minority by far.
I loved it.
A few scenes got my heart pumping in a way that no video game has ever done. It was thoroughly amazing from start to finish.
