I havent played a game this bad since FireWarrior
User Rating: 1 | Robotech: Invasion XBOX
This is by far the worst game I’ve played in a long, long time. How could this be the same team that brought us my beloved Battlecry? Dropping the cell shading was a terrible choice. So what if marketing told you "cell-shading is out this year". That’s what the series is based on. Grow a pair and make a cell-shaded game. The Robotech license is doomed much like Warhammer (with the exception of Dawn Of War). Is it that hard to make a decent game? Where is the alpha combat at the beginning? Instead we have a... I’m at a loss for words to explain just how bad the in-engine "epic" battle sequence is. Any fan of Next Gen remembers the first episode where Scott Bernard returns to Earth and the Mars forces are decimated. THIS IS THE DEFINING MOMENT OF THE SERIES and it is reduced to a 30second poorly edited, rehashed in-engine flop. If the entire game was just fighting Invid in space during this sequence, you would have a smash hit on your hands. Instead we are given clunky Cyclone movement, arduously stretched over ten missions. I say ten, but I can only assume since I didn’t last past two. My expectations were low just from seeing it, but after playing it my stomach hurts. I lasted about 5 minutes, and that’s a stretch. The first two missions you watch your clunky character stomp around an empty environment prancing around and jumping like a fruitcake.
