[Volcynika]

Not bad. Got it preordered on Amazon.

 

[Takamura-San]

i have an issue with the lasting appeal opinion.

I rather have a great 6hr experience than a 10-20hr drag.

Yep, will wait for the price to come down though.

 

[Anteater]

That's not bad

I am going to have to agree with this. Skyward Sword would have been so much more enjoyable if the length was cut in half.


But in this case it looks like a good rent game or buy when its like 20 bucks.

 

[aknbad30]

Will wait for price drop.

 

[Heart of Black]

People don't seem to realize it but 6 hours of excellence is pretty damn good. I tend to get bored of games that don't know their place and keep going on and on.

 

[DR2K]

Sounds like the perfect budget game.

Gameplay wise...it's a 2hr experience according to him though. Which is why I think he gave it so low.

 

[Midou]

Yeah I guess it's mostly like a long version of the demo.

Will get for $20 down the line.

 

[I-hate-u]

I dunno, this is the perfect $20-30 game

 

[sixteen-bit]

surprising score

 

[mjc]

I'll pick it up at a price drop.

 

[TEJ]

People don't seem to realize it but 6 hours of excellence is pretty damn good. I tend to get bored of games that don't know their place and keep going on and on.

but according to the reviewer and the demo there's very little gameplay in this "game". That doesn't scream excellence to me.

 

[Kacho]

What a shame. A game with no replay value is hard to get behind at $60. I'll pick this up for $15-20.

 

[Coxy]

not a mention of the mind breaking levels of screen tearing? hope they got that fixed for release

 

[YianGaruga]

Yep, wouldn't pay full price for it though.

10-20 hour great game: maybe full price if hyped enough
6 hour great game: wait for price drop
1-99 hour not so great game: wait for even bigger price drop

 

[Criminal Upper]

That's about what I think it should be.

For once, good job, IGN.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

"Disappointingly little gameplay" is not a phrase I associate with something that is "7.5 - good!".

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I have no confidence in this game.

 

[codhand]

Rental.

 

[Revolutionary]

Looking forward to getting this from Gamefly.

 

[Duffyside]

"Six hours for a full-price release just isn't acceptable, no matter how enjoyable those six hours are."

This might be the most damning thing a reviewer has ever said. Braid wasn't even six hours. Neither was Bioshock. What a moronic thing to say.

 

[Desmond]

Gotta support CC2. Will buy

What? Who the hell beat BioShock in under six hours their first play through?

 

[ACESmkII]

Enjoyed the demo, and still a day one for me.

I expect similar scores from other reviewers.

Braid also wasn't full price.

Also, Bioshock wasn't super long but I definitely remember it taking more than five hours.

 

[Acquiescence]

Seems like a fair, level-headed review. I'll probably buy it at some point, but not at full price, and not during this crowded release window of Vita/Downpour/SSX/Mass Effect 3/Journey.

Braid was $10-15
Bioshock is a 15 hour game...

80% of Asura's Wrath is cutscenes, so in those 6 hours you get like 90 minutes of actual game.

 

[essyouemeight]

Will rent

 

[BHK3]

Lol it's like they reviewed a movie or something.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

All style and no substance

It's a bargain bin game, always was destined to be one

 

[ironcreed]

Based on the demo, I think the gameplay (or lack thereof) is an abomination, but I will still Gamefly it for the whole 'WTF' experience it is sure to provide.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

[Big-ass Ramp]

I feel bad for not knowing this game existed...

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'll buy at $30 because games like this should exist, but they should not be $60.

 

[Tiduz]

ill buy at full price so they can improve in sequel, just like the naruto games improved alot IMO

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I tend to weigh gameplay a lot more heavily than those other elements. This looks like a pass to me.

 

[thetrin]

I'll definitely play the game when it goes down in price. I love CC2, and I want to support them, but I just can't buy this at full price.

 

[Midou]

I would rather CyberConnect2 move onto .hack games or something.

 

[JudgeN]

Sounds like a great rental

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I don't get how the gameplay score is dragged down by length. That's what the lasting appeal score is for.

 

[zroid]

Always enjoy a Keza review.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

The demo is one of the worst things I've played this generation.

 

[Duxxy3]

will wait for 40 dollar price drop.

 

[Duffyside]

Braid also wasn't full price.

I plead the Derp Amendment on Braid. Too angry thinking "hours =/= quality" that it was the second example that lept into my head.

Braid was $10-15
Bioshock is a 15 hour game...

No. It is nowhere near that.

Other games I should've mentioned; Vanquish, Mirror's Edge.

 

[distantmantra]

Rental.

Does Redbox carry Capcom games?

They've got SFxTekken coming soon, but no Asura's Wrath.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

After playing the demo, I feel this type of game is a $40 dollar kind of game. I will get it with a price drop. I do want to "play" through it.

 

[Kusagari]

I still have no faith in this game. The gameplay 'opened up' in part 2 of the demo and it was one of the most atrocious combat systems I've ever seen in an action game.
