Defiance Review | Tech Raptor

I've been keeping my eye on Defiance for a while now. As I am a huge Science Fiction fan, Syfy has always been my home for some of my favorite shows. That said, I watched two episodes of the show, and got hooked. Naturally, the next step was to check out the game. If my goal was to find a game to put down, I failed pretty hard, because I haven't put down Defiance in over a week. Normally, I'm not a fan of MMOFPS's, but the thought of a MMO made by Trion in combination with a Syfy show was incredibly intriguing.

A lot of people have reviewed this game, and I mean, a lot. The sad part is, everyone seems to have rated Defiance really poorly, which is not something that Defiance deserves. You can't compare a game of this magnitude to something like World of Warcraft or various other MMO's. Not to mention, if the reviewer is not watching the show itself, you won't get the same level of enjoyment out of Defiance. There are a lot of reasons to like Defiance, the primary one being the...

I don't agree with author on the score. But i do agree it is worth $60 to play this game. This is a good game worth all gamer's attention, you won't fall asleep!

What score should it be given? Curious what others are thinking. Outside of the glaring bugs, which Trion is pumping away at, what else retracts from the score?

Saryk3993d ago

I'd say a 8.5.

There are some graphic glitches (head missing)and looks dated, but that doesn't retract from my score. The UI stinks for PC gamers, which I am.

I had a good time with the original Defiance years back, honestly.

Silly gameAr1148d ago

Me too. I remember putting a lot of hours into it before it went free to play. After, it went f2p, I didn't play it near as much, but it makes me nostalgic.

I liked the show and picked up a sealed collectors edition of the 360 game for $5 at a thrift store a couple years ago.

isarai1149d ago

It had a good run honestly, way better than it had any business being, especially for it to be part of a tv series

boing11149d ago

Yeah, I'm surprised it went for so long too. Tried the game but didn't click for me. I liked the TV series, though.

isarai1149d ago

I gave it about a dozen hours, was fun even tho MMOs aren't my thing. But to even keep me around that long is impressive lol

psynetik1231149d ago

Paid $11 for this POS way back and I still felt ripped off
