Review: Naughty Bear

[El_Teodoro]

Somehow this makes me feel more guilty than stabbing the rapist old man in Oblivion or garrote wiring drug dealers in Hitman.

 

[Reshkar]

seems like a good game to buy in 2 months for 10? from bargain bin.

Agree. I won't bother buy it full price either.

 

[Swifteye]

Call me crazy, but I just never found humor in the whole "cute woodland animals die in horrific ways" thing.

Same here. Seems very twisted and disturbed. I'd be more interested in checking the phsyce of someone who gains laughter from seeing cute things die horribly.

That said this game seems really shallow and unrefined.
This game also reminded me of when yathzee said that games that tell you to be bad are no different from games that tell you to be good.

The voice at the beginning of the video made me think of Lionhead's Head, i mean, Peter Molyneux... that would have been wierd if it was him speaking... XD


this is the most Psychopathic game i've ever seen, and it doesn't even have any sense or particular interest to me apart from having the pt of view of a Deranged TeddyBear/dude having enough imagination to kill others in original ways.

 

[DarkHuntress]

Thanks for the review. I have decided to rent the game but won't buy it.

Saved me some money there

I was hoping that Naughty Bear wouldn't look so bad. I was actually looking forward to it, but after watching this review... just, no.

Such a shame.

 

[Karloff]

Huh. The game narrator's voice sounds reeeeally familiar. Doesn't he front for a UK kid's TV show IRL? Something on CBeebies?

 

[Tallim]

Going to go against the grain here and say I quite like it, though in short doses. I do agree however that it should have been a download game and not full retail. The multiplier ticking down does ruin a lot of the fun though and going for really high scores requires part luck and part planning.

I prefur more story-driven games, but it sounds like a game that's good for beating off rage after work or school.

I see what you did there.

 

[Gudrests]

Maybe I'm just wrong in the head but...this isn't nearly violent enough. I was expecting something on the level of Happy Tree Friends, this is just a bit tame for a game that revolves around violence.

The only thing that made me interested in this game doesn't look all that great.

yeah...not enough in it. if your going to kill with teady bears....i wanna see some conkers bad furday kinda shit...that game was fun

 

[Ayay]

Great another game that goes ,,hmmm we cant make it good ,,,lets make a game those Watchdog groups can scream about , That worth a few units in extra sale at least. And teddy bears ? ...really ? sigh But to be fair the total lack of any thing new in this game is par for the course for most games nowdays.

 

[neoontime]

Wow, pretty much what I expected.

 

[dawnskies]

I agree 100% with the original review! Only want to add we preordered to get the extra costume, only to find out you still have to unlock it, what kind of crap is that!

I dont think I can stand to hear 1 more BOOOO after the level where you cant hit a bear! LOL

 

[theultimateend]

The largest crime was the lag.

A console game should never have lag, period, I don't care what you are trying to accomplish. If there is a millisecond of lag you did it wrong.

Naughty bear has a lot more than a millisecond of lag :/.

It is cute for the novelty though, I got it for 30 bucks so I'm not super hurt by it. But I won't be finishing it because of the score nonsense. It would have been a great hitman knock off.

 

[nick n stuff]

i dunno how long this would hold my attention but i really hope it does.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

Oh this is a full game? I thought it was XBLA, hmm I think I'll pass but it does look funny.

 

[elmo360]

looks like a good game but not 60 bucks worth. going to wait a wile to get this one

 

[loppopoo]

Naughty bear needs a hockey mask.

 

[Sir Kemper]

So it's man hunt, meet's dexter, meet's adorable teddy bears?

Sounds...Interesting...Still, not really my style.

 

[subtlefuge]

This one came out of nowhere and surprised me when I heard about it, now it will disappear into nowhere, making the circle complete. It's a shame, it had so much promise. Who wouldn't want to play Hitman crossed with Conker's Bad Fur Day?

 

[Devil's Due]

These wondrous games who's target audience is no doubt the ~16 y.o. crowd are the ones that give gaming a bad name. I'm not saying they shouldn't exist, but I am saying they're shooting themselves in the foot. That 'no publicity is bad publicity' thing doesn't always work.

What are you trying to say about 16 year olds, Rob?

Also, this game looks rather boring to me. I wouldn't buy it even if it was just about the stalking, it just looks repetitive. Plus, a small teddy bear got his heart broken by not going to a party, boo-hoo.

Lame story, repetitive, and poor gameplay. No thanks.
