I cannot believe that this game recieved marks as high as it did....
I TRIED to like this game. I TRIED to get into this game...it's so shallow and hollow. There is absolutely NOTHING of presentation for this game. There is swearing...but who cares? That does nothing for the game.
The graphics are mediocre. The opening scene gets tedious as you watch it for every match. There is nothing to introduce the entire event, just a bit of announcement in the beginning. I was hoping that there would be a little more structure in the presentation rather than pick your team then watch this cheese animation leading up to the match of a bunch of people a la 'Running Man' watching a huge TV in the streets.
The views for the matches are somewhat bogus. They do what they are supposed to do but limiting the views to two and then variations of them by near, far and inbetween is kinda cheesey.
The fighting in the game is simplistic and made me feel like I was playing Fuzion Frenzy with the spiderman fighting engine. There are some cool things in it, but nothing to keep me interested.
The characters in the beginning are pretty slow. I'm sure it gets far more intense later on in the game but seriously I really don't want to stick around to find out. The mechanics are a little aggrivating but overall the game is easy to control. You run around, avoid the others, pass the frizby and throw it through the hole...which sometimes can be annoyingly hard, but at other times can seem WAY too easy.
The arenas didn't seem to be anything TOO interesting, though the jail was kinda neat. None the less this game is pretty shallow.
You could argue that football and hockey and basketball are all simplistic too...but in essence those games inspire more skill and strategy in the sense of defense and offence. They have proper actual in depth play and rules instead of just beat people until they can't move...which takes way too much time to do anyway.
It just seems that this game is a one shot deal. You jump and you toss the frizbee thing through a circle. There are no flips or double team or special moves that you can pull off to give the game more flare to scoring, more flare to defending...if there was a little more structure to the game it might be more like a sport...otherwise its just scramble for the disc and run...Maybe the game is better multiplayer...but it bored me, then frustrated me, then got too easy, then got hypocritical(yeah I know wierd), then it charged me tax on the team in the game which I didnt like haha, then it got boring because I was losing 12-0 and caught up within 30 seconds by running in a circle, grabbing the disc after I scored, out in front score again, rinse and repeat...
I dont know..I just dont see the draw of this game. It didnt grab a hold of my attention by offering more depth and rewards for what I was going through. I already know what working my ass off for nothing is called...work...and I do it everyday...no need to simulate it at home
I didn't like this game...and from all the hype around here, I'm sad I gave my money to try this game. It's going back tomorrow...
