First European game reviewers are out.
And guess what, the game receive a proud 3/10 rating.
A f***ing 3!
Kotaku!

The game was shaping up to be so good and solid.
Tech demos that was released alone satisfy more than a 3/10 rating.
Come on!
Now all i have to do is wait for more reviews to surface sweat.gif doh.gif

Finally i get to have a try at this game.
And i just played for the first 10 minutes and all i can say is the graphics is fantastic and the story just adds to the excitement.

However, the game is too buggy and despite having such nice graphics, there can be texture misappropriation (not sure if this is the correct term, IT noob). You know when a surface is flat and spikes of graphics just spawn out of it, this is what happens in the game.
Sometimes this just throws the whole mood away.

Then there is the game interaction.
The controls were pretty alright for myself, just that the game is trying to put too much into giving players a good experience of the game.
There is 2 view inside the game which is a first person view and a third person view, so it is actually pretty cool to have a good look at things on the first person and the 3rd person on the surrounding.
However sometimes the controls arent responsive.
Let's just say you are to climb a rope and climb through a broken piece. However, while you are climbing up the rope, you accidentally fell down and you will not be able to climb the rope again no matter how many millions time you press the action button.

This game has a good storyline and it really has most of what players would want, but sometimes satisfying all of it will just make the game worst.

Truth to be told, yes overall this game sucks, big time. But i think it deserves at least a 6/10. Oh by the way, i just played 10 minutes into the game, dont own it and doesnt intend to.

I can't even continue play this piece of crab for an hour... The control is so crappy that it gets on my nerve... The story might be interesting, the graphics are ok, but the control beats all. Initially i wanted to finished it for the game score, but it seems like it's too much for me, i'll just put it inside my freezer...

Yes the control is crappy and it just need a little get-used-to.
The story might be interesting, well at least it was at the beginning.
Believe me, the story sucks so bad, you wish you hadnt finish the game, oh wait, you didnt laugh.gif
Just a little blasphemy from a player who net 1000/1000 on that game.

Anyway if you are stuck in any chapter, i would be more than glad to be of help.
One thing i can really complain is the lack of clue in the puzzles.
