More of her. My favourite is the second one of her as Pikachu. She's pretty cute. Anyway, before this becomes a babe thread...

Looks like the game isn't that great but is anyone surprised?

Seems like one of those games that would have been better off as a PSN/XBLA title.

That would be better than how this game looks. Not a bad thing. 🙂

It seems to have okay scores.

I watched this feedback video on IGN of the reviewer responding to comments from his review. I've never played the game, but when I saw that the review had over 1000 comments, I thought I'd give the video a look. It looks like the point about how the game could be overly repetitive seems valid, and the videos they showed reminded me of some weird Scott Pilgrim-ish world.

Although, the one thing that got to me is that the guy seemed to dislike the misogynistic tone in the game. Now, it's not like I support such things, and I would agree that constantly defaming the main character using harsh words like "slut" or "whore" would get a bit old. However, his gripe seemed to be that the character never seemed affected by the verbal barrages.

I think reviewers sometimes forget that they're watching a movie or playing a video game. I got the same vibe way back when I read Roger Ebert's review on Kick-Ass, because he sat there complaining about a young girl killing people and swearing throughout his review. 😵
 
Angry Joe did a good review of it. Basically sumed it up as a stupid and sexist game that was a lot of fun. Most of the criticism seems to centre on the controls and short length. Though for beat-em-ups, length is not always a good thing. That was my one criticism for God of War. Just seems to keep going.

I'd like to think that God of War is slightly different, because it tries to focus more on the story. Most Beat 'Em Ups have a fairly non-existent story, which could have easily been tacked on after the fact. This is mostly coming from playing that genre in the 16-bit era with games like Double Dragon, Battletoads and Golden Axe.
