Are you really that stupid? Not only does the game look superb, but it is. Find me four games released in the past 3 months that are better and I'll give you a medal.

You can all laugh and mock but my reasons are valid. The characters are disproportionate, it rips off a tv show for 5 years olds that I hated when I was 5 anyway and it makes you feel like a voyuer while playing. I can think of a LOT of other games that are a lot better than that crap and in this case I don't want to play so I'm not going to. I probably should at least try it but some things just don't deserve a chance and this is one of them.

How you can all play such a poor looking and style of game I'll never know.

Haha.

Well done Cubist.

"The game looks crap because of its style, and I'm not even going to bother playing to find out of it's any good."

*slap*
it looked bad because the main characters legs were disproportionate??
worst. reason. ever.

that's as bad as the guy on RI:SE who said it was "probably bad, judging by the cover".

your whole post says "this game is bad because it does things most games don't". it's stylised dude, hence the costumes and the catchphrases.

rent it. play it. love it. it's ace.

Yeah.



Anyway, I’ve never seen such a bigger example of Cubist being a ball-licker than that below.

Hmm, never heard of it before, and just checked out a couple of movies. Looks quite good in an insane sort of way :)

Are you really that stupid? You buy a magazine just for the review scores (and probably the cheats - even though Gamesmaster cheats are about as reliable as Valley Lines trains) but you don't actually read the reviews?
