I agree with the writers assessment

ilovemyps34482d ago

this game has incredible graphics, that i rarely saw in a game. the graphics look like god of war 3, for me, and are as good as on the santa monica title. no aliasing at all, incredible effects, hard enemies, good weapons, powers. incredible effects, particles, wind, fire, ice.
the graphics on this game are really amazing, and if you are lucky enough to download the 700mb, you will be amazed, how good it was. remember, graphics look like god of war 3. believe me.

how can you give a 7.7, because enemies are repetitive and appear from nowhere ?

in a game like cod, you do the same moves, you go from A to B, with the same weapon, 150 times in one hour. nobody cut 3/10 because of that.

in a game like uncharted, in the boat stage, enemies are and appear on places that even batman couldn't go. as you keep killing them, they keep respawning, like there was a magical hat, full of enemies. the game is still amazing, and got shitloads of 10/10.

really, i would give this game a 8.5-9, at least. 7.7, isn't fair.

Thank you for your comment,

I too consider this game to be a good game. In our ratings system 7.7 translates to "Games receiving this score range are good, they are fun to play but aren’t particularly memorable or well crafted."

The score isn't 7.7 just because enemies appear from nowhere. The true reason for this grade comes from clunky character movement, shallow story and from the bugs and glitches the game currently has. If I was unclear of this in the review, I’ll fix the issue so thank you for your feedback.

Zack Zero is a good game that provides some puzzle solving and appealing graphics in this particular genre, but so do other titles that are crafted even better. Take Trine 2 or Rayman Origins for example.

You are right.
It's true I was a bit too excited about this game.mainly because I love platforming games, and thought zack zero was particularly well done,comparing to many others (rocket knight,etc), and even with its faults, zack is pretty good,still, in my opinion.

Didn't play trine 2, but I remember the first trine , there was barely one type of enemies, the skeletons, during the whole game.

Rayman is incredible, ,my +20 hours on it were really great.

For zack zero, I think scoring it less than a 8, is not very correct, when seeing what we have there,which offers many more than a lot of games, with better scores.I'm my opinion.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5070d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5070d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5070d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495070d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5070d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5070d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
