5/10? Doesn't that make it about average? The review reads more like a 1/10.

I cant believe it i was hoping for some good gaming from this... it looks very nice...
5/10 definitely seems more like a 1 but i suppose got better as it does look good... At least i know not to waste my hard earned cash on this abomination |

cool, its now a 3
about right i'd say. no mention of the crap voice acting though.... from what i saw/heard in the demo the captain jack character (famed for his witty quips etc) is pretty much mute the whole time, even in cutscenes where you'd expect him to talk, or when fighting, giving a bit of guff to someone he's brawling with. is the full game like this also? (im assuming yes, hence the 3)

The voiceovers aren't terrible, but there's no real attempt to link together the plot elements, so anything they do say makes no sense unless you've seen the movies (which I did on monday, and sorry to say but it wasn't a patch on the first one...again.)
It just jumps between events in an incredibly jarring way. They'd have been far better off making a game inspired by the characters and events that actually made sense. As it is, it's just a disconnected series of battles, and the occasional duel.

The industry defecates once more and the scat loving masses lap it up...
Next time you're in town, look out for the hordes of Little Britain (the game primarily but...) loving chavs and half term fearing parents / grandparents rushing out to ensure little Johnny is "entertained" next week - and of course to ensure this alleged pile of excrement makes it to the top of the ... pile for next week's charts. |

As the first poster said the demo was ok. I thought the animation and graphics were very well done. However it was a demo and the repetitive nature of the combat over a full game probably would prove wearisome.

I appreciate that quality releases are thin on the ground at the moment, but i've got to question the value of this review given Eurogamers readership....
If parents want to avoid a blunder, any spotty counter clerk can point you in the opposite direction of this rubbish, but please, two pages of (clearly well thought out) writing given over to THIS......... |

"Games like this should only come out on the Wii. "
That made me laugh :) |

If you distill the review down to about 15 words, thats pretty much what i thought of the demo. With an additonal 'that doesnt sound anything like [character]'.
Still, better than last year, though, eh? |

At least usually with these games the graphics are duff too, they spent the time doing something though clearly it wasn't honing the gameplay. Tis a shame no one will actually put any effort into making a GOOD GAME when they know it'll sell crap loads no matter how crap it plays. Grr.

Orlando Bloom has to be the least likeable actor that I can think of. Well no, actually, but he is extraordinarily bland and not very likeable - that's for sure...

Are kids thick nowadays? Why do they ask for this stuff? When I was younger, I knew to avoid any game from THQ, especially on the SNES (James Bond Jr. and Ren & Stimpy come to mind), stay the hell away from anything by Titus (of Superman 64 infamy), and genrally treat anything tied into films with the comtempt it deserved. I knew what shitness was, even at a young age, so what's their excuse?!

"I knew what shitness was, even at a young age, so what's their excuse?!"
One thing that comes to mind was that when I was young I had to bloody well save up my own money to get videogames. My parents sure as hell wasn't going to spend any of it on that "junk". So I made sure that whatever I got was pretty damn good. A lot of kids today just point at something at a store and gets it. My sisters kids aren't like that, gladly. They are the minority though :/ |
