Diehard GameFAN: This game is awful. It is boring. It’s ugly. It doesn’t make a damn bit of sense. You are playing a game about Beauty and The Beast wherein your character is neither Beauty nor the Beast nor the witch that curses the beast, nor Beauty’s father, nor even a close friend of one of these characters. This is like a Star Wars game where you play as Wedge Antilles’s mom and read postcards about fighting the Empire.
Crap, I gave Lucas an idea for a new Star Wars game.

From the review:
"If you don’t already know, Beastly—based on a book of the same name—is a reimagining of the old Beauty & The Beast fairytale. You know, because apparently nobody in the movie industry has any ideas left, so they’re just remaking everything that was ever remotely popular. Until the game showed up on my doorstep, I had actually never heard about this movie, and upon doing research, I can’t understand why it exists. But more importantly, I can’t understand why this game exists. I mean, it’s a game based on a movie that’s based on a book that’s based on a fairytale. Even the worst movie tie-ins suddenly seem better after playing this mess."
After watching Gameinformer play all the way through it. I 100% agree with this review !
