Yay, more clicking of my mouse buttons until my index fingers fall off... ¬_¬
I've actually played this one, and I'm going to have to agree that yeah... it was boring at times, but hey... I only paid like 2 change for this one, so yeah.
Great review, though.

While I can appreciate Yahtzee's trademark snark and venom, I did notice that he said he played it for at least 10 hours. That's a lot of time to put in to a game that's only better than an ice cream if it's buried under gravel/only accessible via straw. 
The thing is, most of Yahtzee's complaints about it could be applied to any game in the genre. He'd might as well say, "this game is ridiculous and stupid because you get five guns that all shoot bullets and I don't even like shooting bullets to begin with." If that's not your thing, you won't like FPS's.

I really don't think so, in addition to that, I had soundgeldonyetich said:
I liked Torchlight, for as long as I didn't see myself repeating those strange underworld levels after killing the endboss.
IT'S OVER AFTER THE ENDBOSS!
There are some more hordes spawning and new levels are created, but the game really looses its sense after the said event...
So yep, you're review is quite VERY accurate, it's fun for the money, but no long-time-activity
Great vid, I wasn't aware of this game, but point and click is overdone, why don't they learn that already? I hardly think I'll give this one a chance...
They didn't... they're "YAY FIRST!" trolls who just want to say their comment was on the first page.stok3r said:
Wooooooooooooo! Another in-reference that I will wholeheartedly treasure.
Was I the only one who almost shat himself with pure fear when I saw the silhouette of the chained up child? If you know anything about Yahtzee's works you'll know what I'm talking about.
Also lovely, now I definitely know to not buy this game.

Why does Yahtzee only review lesser known stuff lately (Torchlight, Saboteur, Demon's Souls) when stuff like DJ Hero, Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles Band Hero, Samckdown vs RAW 2010 and Borderlands are all jumping up and down waiting for a good strong trashing?
He can review stuff henever the fuck he wants. You try buying a brand new game every week.El_Lazor said:
Yahtzee didn't notice about the 'hold the mouse button down' trick because his great mind was busy coming up with the jokes, puns and asides that would make up this most excellent review. And so what? Just because you can hold the mouse button down does not make the game any less boring.
Wow, Australia sucks. No games more violent than your pacifist, used to be a stoned hippie aunt and a single ice cream sandwich costs $3. I could get a box of six for about $3.00 here stateside and let me tell you, very few games are as much fun as 6 ice cream sandwiches for me and my friends.
To quibble in re: the three rooms/copy paste thing, *all* of the levels are randomly generated, so there is that. Also you can just hold down the mouse button instead of clicking until your fingers fall off if you prefer.
