Forums - Gaming - death to data design!!!

Data Design Interactive is a United Kingdom based video game developer, as well as a video game publisher. Founded in 1999
Most of Data Design Interactive's recent games have been criticized by gamers and critics alike, frequently citing graphics, gameplay, and lack of polish all associated with rushed production schedules or "shovelware" games. Some of their games have received a rare 1.0 at IGN, and other rating sites such as Gamespot.

On October 31, 2008, Data Design Interactive's Wii Kidz Sports Series, Kidz Sports: Basketball, Hockey, and International Soccer earned first place for the Wii section of IGN's Worst Reviewed Nintendo Console Games, with all 3 titles receiving a 1.0 from them. IGN also gave honorable mention to the rest of Data Design Interactive's Wii library, with all games so far receiving no more than a 3.0 from them.

Reviews on IGN and on Gamespot UK through 2008, both from staff writers and gamers personal experiences, target DDi as a major influence in damaging the games markets credibility and for saturating the market with inferior products. One review went as far as suggesting Nintendo should ban DDi from making games as he thought it would be the death of the Wii.

Petition to Nintendo for ban DDi

If you want them to go away then just ignore them and don't buy their games.

If Nintendo started banning companies from making games then it would be the death of Nintendo, not these companies, that we would soon be seeing.



Personally, I believe Nintendo needs to bring back the Seal of Quality. Don't be as strict as they used to (stay away from forcing devs to be exclusive and from only allowing 3 games a year), but they definitely need some sort of system to keep crap off of the system.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

One day Data Design might make an actual half way decent game. You never know. Look at High Voltage Software, they were producing low budget cheap games up until they announced the Conduit. Things change...



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

If you don't like their games, just don't buy them. It's a pretty simple concept.
