Rating Description
out of 10
6.0 Presentation
The visuals are well done, but the spotty motion and camera controls, stale story, and sometimes painful voice work really brings down the package.
8.0 Graphics
Some decent effects are used, and the game is full of unique enemies, great animations, and some pretty epic moments. Pop-in abounds.
6.0 Sound
There are a few keepers in the game's soundtrack, but the voice work needs serious help, and some of the battle music feels truly out of place.
6.0 Gameplay
The battle system was on the right track, but it feels as though more time was spent developing mini-games than polishing the core mechanic.
6.0 Lasting Appeal
There's a good 25 hours of an adventure to explore, but you'll have to ignore a lot of shortcomings to enjoy it.
6.2
Passable		 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

Ahh, man pretty low score.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

Just don't trust their reviews anymore. I'll wait for word of mouth, or this site.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

The critical panning continues.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Damn. Worse than Tales of Symphonia 2, and a host of mediocre software.

The game does many different things, but when it comes to what the game is truly supposed to be about, it does not do it well enough.

Voice acting I'm not too sure of though. Resident Evil is often panned for its dialogue, but with the exception of maybe one paragraph worth of dialogue throughout the entire game, it is overstated.

The score seems pretty consistent with other reviews. Most are giving it 6-7.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

6.2... really? As for the presentation score that is FAR too low, it has some really nice solid visuals with grand scale and its all seamless... the only voice actor I'd say is annoying is the Selkie girl that's in your "team" which I kinda feel like they botched her script a time or two because at certain places they either couldn't properly translate to English or tried to use English slang, so the actress might not have had a lot to work with.

The core mechanic is you use enemies as weapons, as I've progressed, different enemies have been used in various ways, one point you have a shark that spits water which is great for having a projectile, another moment you can turn an enemy into a ball and bowl other enemies over, it's not the deepest combat system I've ever used but its not the most shallow either and the powers are done in a way to make for some epic boss fights so far, I mean the first boss in the game is Bahumut and you rip off his spear tail with your powers and ride it into his heart, how can you beat that?

Resident Evil has terrible dialogue.  That's to be expected of a game series that is basically a series of B-movies in game form.
