Geared for Gamers went back to take a look at Vanquish on the Xbox 360. Is there enough substance to make this shooter stand out on it's own with it comes to the 3rd person genre or is it just the same thing we have seen before?
(Vanquish, Xbox 360)
6.5/10
funny thing is i am at the last boss battle right now as i type this lol and for all those who said this game is 4-5 hrs i am playing on normal and over 7hrs already. the story is decent. game is kind of hard but i like that
its a solid 8/10 i just wonder what if this game had online with that suit sam wears unlimited possibilities
I'd give it a 9/10. Even though there's no multiplayer at least they focused on the SP. I just love the way they try to make you play in this game. So many OH SH*T! Moments. hahaha XD
If you play it a standard way then it tends to come across as an 8/10 game.Following several playthroughs however, an understanding for the more subtle design kicks in.It's then just as Bayonetta before in fact that you realise those hidden depths.Most so called gamers wont have even realised they were there
A lot of reviews and opinons are based around just the one playthrough and that's not always enough if a game has layers.Opinions are fine but these are often offered up on the basis of a limited 7 or so hours with these types of games
Hated Bayonetta for example until i discovered how wrong i was.The trouble is people like to think they're right, and certainly in the case of Vanquish, many people just wont know what they're talking about.Mechanics are often things that a lot of gamers don't understand, rather forming opinions from if they liked the action aspect or general theme of a game- unfortunately that tends to be the only basis for if a game is good or bad for some ignorant gamers
It's funny how much you miss of a level that first time playthrough as well- some level sections i could hardly remember on my second run, though it was a couple of weeks later i guess

Can't wait to (re)play it! :)
Glad some people gave the game a real chance
