Amy (XBLA) Brutal Gamer Review

Brutal Gamer writes:

There is an interesting gameplay idea in AMY but it is buried under a lackluster story, poor voice acting, terrible presentation, clunky controls, broken gameplay elements, and the worst save system since NES-era video games required players to write down long confusing codes (is that a "0" or a "O"?) to save their progress.

Keep feeling that Amy is getting bumped for trying to be a non-standard zombie title, from critics who wanted a standard zombie title.

I tried it not knowing what it was. I didn't see any gameplay footage or anything. Dumb mistake on my part. I wish I never bought it...

Tanir4485d ago

godmars, the game is horrible :/. like complete trash, slow clunky, badly thought out, un polished, low budget, it has nothing going for it except that people were hoping it was gonna be good

Most people who have played it hate it. I think it might be possible that sites hyped this game up for hits, made it seem better and more interesting than it really is. Then they give it deserving reviews because that has even more shock value, somebody sees a game they thought would be amazing get a 2 and you want to read it, to see why. All for hits, I could be wrong though. I hope I'm wrong, that would be a lot of journalists who used that tactic.

I wonder if the game is going to get the Hydrophobia treatment?

Hopefully the developers go back to it and fix the performance issues. At least that would make it somewhat playable.

turning point had a really great story / concept... it just was very generic in its game play.

Haze is a bad game but Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty makes it seem like a captivating work of art. haha. Fuck that game

Shellshock 2: Blood Trails isn't on this list but it might be the worst game I've ever played. I got it as a present from my mam and when I saw the box, my life flashed before my eyes thinking of the Metacritic score: https://www.metacritic.com/...

I also received Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty as a present from another family member. Bless their hearts for trying but ... oh Lord. My uncle gave my Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time and MGS2 though. 😎

Was it really that bad? I recall trying the demo and not liking it, but that's just me not liking FPS games.

People I know who played it and like FPS games mostly came to the conclusion that it has a lot of room for improvement, but it's not nearly as bad as it's made out to be.

Don't know, my opinion on these games should be taken with a grain of salt.

mastershredder97d ago

Oof! yeah, Ride was a huge fumble they tried to market twice.
Haven Fall of the King was dog-shi7-tastic and should be a runner up to some of those.
I'd even nominate Legend of Kay. Heh Haze... there is no excuse for that one (just pretend Haze did not happen).

What's kinda funny about this is, that I have a theory that all these electronics are what are causing autism. You think back to about a generation ago and autism wasn't that wide spread, or we just didn't diagnose it. I feel that since all electronics put out an emf field that it can have adverse affects on a developing brain. No data or anything for this, just a theory I have.

ravinash2467d ago

It's only been in the last generation or two where metal health has been a thing that can be documented.
A lot more studies are going into it so we're understanding it better.
In the old days, people would have lived their entire lives with things like autism and not even know it.
After all most people who have autism are on the extreme end of the spectrum, so it might not always be obvious.

meka26112467d ago

Yea that's a good point, we still have a very long way to go in diagnosing and treating mental disorders. It's just very hard to do that, but I totally agree with you.
