First announced several years ago, Total Recall Online seems like a good idea, with settings based off the original 1990 movie. Developed by a pretty lousy China developer, the game never made it in time for the 2012 reboot movie’s premier.
Triverse writes, "Die Hard, a rather questionable in quality movie licensed/tie-in game, hit Google Play and iTunes recently and well, it is not being received that well by critics. Basically the game is being rounded for various things such as in app purchases and lack of any real originality but personally, I don’t think the game was that bad- though definitely plenty of room for improvement (it does beat out the original Total Recall game on NES by A LONG SHOT though). Here are some other movie tie in games that gamers may be more receptiveto and able to glean more enjoyment from rather than Bruce Willis’ latest movie going experience in game form."
Replies(2)The Total Recall remake has hit theaters. For those that might have missed out, you’re put into the shoes of Douglas Quaid, a man who comes to realize his life as he remembers it is a lie, and fights to discover the truth. So where there’s a movie, there’s bound to be a few game tie-ins, especially on iOS. While the movie was cool, can the app follow through and deliver?
Pocket Gamer: There are few things more frustrating than a game that almost gets it right. When you're tantalisingly close to enjoying yourself, a spanner in the works somehow feels worse than when you've been drudging through mediocrity since the tutorial.
That's the problem with Total Recall. It approaches greatness, only to trip just before it gets there, smashing open its head and letting all the gooey goodness dribble away into a puddle of broken controls and odd design choices.
