GIZORAMA - Licensed games get a bad rap. Traditionally, when a movie or television lends its properties to the small screen gaming world it gets botched. Perhaps it’s poor visuals, or clunky gameplay. Maybe the game is short, or has terrible audio. Many times, it’s a combination of these. But on rare occasions, a licensed game comes out that isn’t a complete waste of time. Spider-Man 2, for instance, was a spectacular open world game that proved a movie could translate to an interactive living room experience. Many of us have fond memories of Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64, a game that was not only ahead of its time but that completely changed the landscape of competitive multiplayer shooters on console. It’s easy to toss a licensed game to the curb because of past trends, but we have to remember that there is a possibility for a great licensed game.
R.I.P.D. is not one of these games.

Baden of WGB talks about the top three worst games he had to play in 2013: "Having published the list of my favourite games from 2013 it made sense that I sit before my keyboard once more and write out a brief post talking about what I view as the three worst games I played in 2013, all while nursing a hangover. Yup, New Year’s Eve was….actually it was a really quiet night thanks to a mix of terrible weather and everyone cancelling their party plans. The hangover stems from a night spent watching stupid videos with my family, drinking cider and eating Haribo."
Nothing I played in 2013 could come close to the sheer frustration of playing Amy near the start of 2013. My freaking God, that game was truly, truly terrible.
Currierox says "So just like clockwork a new film hits the big screens and along with it comes the obligatory video game cash in. Rushed out to quickly ride the hype gathered around whatever movie or property is the in thing at the moment. Now we are right to be wary whenever we see a movie licensed game hit the shelf but every once in a while it is done right and we get a nice companion to the film. RIPD fits into the former, I haven’t even seen the film and can see that this title screams rush job. So let’s get into it shall we."
It's that bad? A 0/5 implies that it didn't even boot up.
lol 0/5 ?!....no matter how bad a game can be ...0 is just not right
i guess the reviewer was having a bad day and was feeling extra spiteful
watch out, we got a badass over here.
In my book ET is a 0.5 because its genuinely unplayable but it booted up. 0 should be reserved for physically unplayable at all.
That movie looks even worse.
