Have you actually played Hour of Victory?

As with any game that scores poorly, it's getting flak here on the boards. My question is: Whether you're criticizing the game or not, have you actuallly played it? I don't care what you answer in your post, but don't lie to the poll, k? :)

I haven't played yet, but I'm highly curious to play the game and I'd like to at least rent it... I've been trying to find a used copy lying around at Gamestop as well....

play the demo

see how bad it is for yourself

Demo.

'Nuff Said.

Yeh the demo was enough of a bad represenattionof the game even if the retail version had of improved it would have been able to have improved enough to make it anything more than an abosolute terrible game, so whilst I havent played the acctual game I ahve played the demo and I feel that that alone was enough.

Sigh, the demo does not count. Demos do not represent the entire game, they represent a small chunk of it. You're opinions have been rendered null and void.

On a side note, a game that's technically flawed can still be fun. (See: Tenchu Z)

Just to warn you though if you do decide to pick it up I have a friend who has played it and yes he says it really is as bad as demo's say it is but heck if you wanna try it give it a rent. ihateyou_right

If I can find it at blockbuster or used at gamestop I'll pick it up and "rent" it either way... I can never have too many WW2 games.

Played the demo, thought it was poor excuse for a game. And from reviews, the full version wasnt any better.

Same here. The best part of the demo was selecting your character and thats it. If the demo was that bad just before release, I don't want to play the real thing.

Okay, I know you don't want to listen to people that played the demo... but please hear me out. I played the demo quite thouroughly to scratch out if it was a good game or not, and just by moving around in the demo levels, I can tell you that the single player is not up to par with games like Call of Duty 2 and Gears of War, other shooters for this console... BUT I have not played the multiplayer so I cannot tell you if that is an enriching experience, however, the controls may still bother. The graphics, I found, were not horrible but they again were not up to par with other next gen games. The tank controls fealt extremely unrealistic and I found myself flipping the tank over for fun, via driving it up walls, than actually completing the mission... It's difficult to find out where you need to go sometimes, and everything is presented in a really corny way, sort of like Call of Duty 3's single player storyline.... a lot of animations are glitchy, grenades are a pain to aim correctly and overall the game was insanely unsettling to control...

No, I didn't play the full retail copy, but if you seriously shun this entire THING ^ that I have just written, you are a very silly person.

Staryoshi was in he HOV forum saying he was gonna buy it and everyone said absolutely not! I guess he still doesnt get it that the game sux.The only person ive seen like the game is the guy with the WWE sigs. But i think he works for the company that made it.AlbertWesker316

Just because the game "sux" for everyone else doesn't mean that it will "sux" for everybody. I think that's the whole point of this thread actually. People went on & on about how bad Tenchu Z sucked & I really liked it. .

Look, Staryoshi87, when a company releases a demo over Xbox Live, the point of that demo is to draw you into purchasing the game. They don't just do it for fun. They released a demo which was god awful and ABSOLUTLEY represented the full game. To all thsoe who play a demo and it's no good, you should think, "Oh, I bet the full retail version of the game will be like this so I won't bother." That's the whole point of a demo.mace8704

I didn't like the Lost Planet demo, loved the game. I don't accept verdicts on games from the demos alone. I actually kinda likes the demo, also.

A game can be technically flawed but still be fun.

They also said Red Steel, Tenchu, Ninety-Nine Nights, and others sucked... and I enjoyed those games. Remember what score Mario Kart 64 got.

One of my relatives used to work for Midway, btw .... but I never got anything out of it :(

lol if you want to play a really bad game, get Vampire Rain, played it on my Japanese account(imported it) and it is horrible. I cannot play the American version because if I do, I will have to post a vid of me eating my own crap. lol but bomberman act zero was bad, bullet witch was alright. I would recommend you try out Hour of Victory though, just dont base the game on its Singleplayer, its kinda like Call Of Duty 3 by Single player was not so great, but the Multiplayer is suprisingly fun. So either do your used gamer switcheroo or rent it.callofdutyzzz

I guess that explains why I've been addicted to Vampire Rain.... :|

Rented it, it's a fun rental but beyond that it's not worth it.

It's like a poor version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein on the original Xbox and very short to boot even when you play it through with each character.

The online community is small and everyone's expecting it to dry up any day now.
