NintendoLife: The Kore Gang has been a long time in the making, a fact reflected in the final result. At its best, it’s colourfully innocuous and fun, while at its worst it can be frustrating and infuriating. It’s likely to be divisive as a result, so we’ll do our best to break it down.
DHGF: So that’s what “What’s Worth Keeping” will be all about. It’ll be about pairing down my collection with the help of you the readers. You’ll let me know what I should keep, what I should dump, and sometimes even suggest games I might find worthy of being part of my twenty games per console set. In taking this journey with me, you will not only get to know my tastes and preferences better, but hopefully your own as well. Every two weeks, we’ll look at a console and see if we can not only keep my number of games down, but also help you the readers decide if your collection needs pairing down as well. With that in mind it’s time to start this version of the column with the same system we started with two years ago – The Nintendo Wii.
At first glance, The Kore Gang looks a lot like an old school 3D platformer. The game has bright visuals and a few charming worlds. The colorful aesthetic is definitely good, but it's hard to bestow a ton of praise on the game's visuals when taking into account just how drab the whole experience is. Yes, The Kore Gang looks pretty good, but it is in no way a good game.
The Kore Gang is solid platformer. The game feels very 90s nostalgic. The game looks good and plays great, and best of all its the kind of game anyone can pick up and play. Goozernation wonders why more games can't make motion controls this easy.
