Joystiq:
"Kinect Sports Rivals feels cheap. A few of the multiplayer games – namely tennis and water racing – are fun in short bursts, but other games – bowling and target shooting – are duds, even with another person. The biggest challenge in gameplay is often hassling with the Kinect and, overall, the games themselves are insultingly simple. I dare you to get a gutter ball in the bowling arena. You'll spend a few frames trying, guaranteed."
When an original game becomes a hit, it can be difficult to re-configure its secret sauce into an equally enjoyable sequel.
Halo 5?....pffft to each his own but Halo 5 is a great game, every Xbox owner I know enjoyed it, the campaign was nice I like the teamwork concept and the multiplayer keeps 'em coming back with great gameplay & modes so much content, 343 did a helluva job.
Not Halo 5. It had a bad story COMPARED to past games but it didn't have a bad story overall. The gameplay was top notch, and multiplayer is still one of the best on the market right now. Custom games browser is the single greatest thing 343 did which I'm grateful for.
Nah it really was a bad campaign. MP was great but seriously, that was a hugely terrible story mode.
The story maybe, but some of the missions were extremely fun. The Sangehlios ones are right up there with the best missions in the franchise.
Halos mp was great but became boring quicker than most.
The story. Naw that was bad and it's marketing was a lie. Made it seem like old master chief was gunna fight that new fake master chief but the conflict ended up being a one punch cgi sequence.
Not to mention fighting the same boss over and over and over....plus add the no split screen mp and whala! You got the worst canon halo ever made
Agreed on sanghelios. That was one of the very few times it actually felt like halo.
Halo 5, FarCry 2, Dragon Age 2, Nuts and Bolts, and Gears of War: Judgement were all far from bad games. Hell, even Crackdown 2 was pretty fun.
There's a difference between a lesser sequel, and a bad game.
With a Title that says "horrible sequels", most of these are far from that. Better title should be disappointing sequels. But I'm sure they went with the former to get clicks and bring in the fanboys.
"Some good digital games for PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 are on sale at Amazon. Deals include Battlefield Hardline $10, Star Wars: Battlefront Deluxe $35, Kinect Sports Rivals $12 and more!"
If you got young kids around the house, you don't want to be playing games like COD or DOOM. These are some kid friendly games you could get to keep your kiddo's entertained.
Wow. That's an early and tough score.
I was expecting it be okay, but not this bad.
I did try the wave racing demo out, and it just didnt feel right holding your arms in there air.
Motion games are more enjoyable when you're holding some type of device in your hand, otherwise it feels goofy just moving around in the air.
Its funny how N4G is only pushing through the low scores when this game is getting pretty average scores.
Joystiq is an outlier. It currently has the lowest score. Ign is 70 something and destuctoid is 70
