Uhm... So it comes around 15:00 hours here in brazil. I'll see this review. Please make the next one Farcry2 or Left 4 Dead.

I'd been wondering if this game was any good. I now know I haven't been missing much. Not surprising coming from EA.
Anyone else notice the typo at the end, 'Pubic Enemy Number One'?

Thought the demo was a bit 'meh'

 

[MasterCheifn]

Great review. I still loved the game though

 

[juraigamer]

One less game I won't be getting now.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

Gulp. I love Mirror's Edge. Dare I watch this?

 

[covertmonkey]

very nice review as always a testament to your brilliance fine sir

 

[Bob_F_It]

And you were looking forward to it too. Perhaps like Assassin's creed but a bit worse.

 

[HadesWTF]

1. I told you it sucked.

2. Damn, 8 hours? You must have gotten lost somewhere along the way. This game takes 5 hours MAX.

 

[Zayus]

Play the demo and figured out all this inn advance... Thats why they have demos ^^

 

[darrinwright]

Wow, never thought of the story mode from the perspective that I might BE the bad guy. Nicely done.

 

[Blazsy]

This was very good on the demo, never seen anything like this before, but after playing it for the second time i got bored immedeatly. And the game was very bright indeed.

I very much hope it's Left 4 dead next week.

 

[Viggo]

I was hoping this game would turn out sorta like Portal but it just added another line to my "do not buy this game" list...

So... I suggest Gears of War 2 next time.

 

[joalics]

sweet ^^ and i liked the demo
btw its coming out at 18:00 at belgium

I was a little confused by the TV trailer for this game, because the concept of first-person platforming just doesn't sound feasible. Glad that yahtzee shared my sentiments.

WTG dude. Another Wednesday just got better.

 

[Proto Cloud]

I was hoping that game was going to be good, but I guess all freerunning games seem to be doomed by the outset.

See: Assassin's Creed, expectations, innovative ideas, and you!

 

[RoninGunner]

It was way too short, but i like how it reminded me of those bygone Prince of Persia days

 

[BlueInkAlchemist]

I think first-person platforming would be exhilarating if it were implemented well. Unfortunately, this is EA we're talking about, so NO, it's NOT.

He makes a good point about experimentation. It's nice to see an original concept getting public attention instead of appeasing the clamoring stinking masses with another derivative watered-down deplorable sequel.

Comprehensive, hilarious and on-point. It's classic Zero Punctuation and I'm as happy to be a part of it as Yahtzee is to having his bollocks toyed with (in the name of science of course).
