I see the fun, where is the uniqueness? lazy porting annoyances and repetitive gameplay make Flinchey a dull boy.
maybe.. i was ... just a little wrong in that assumption, here we go.
Miscellaneous complaints:
it's a console port. a lazy console port, dragging over menus and buttons from it's xbox360 original release. that i can forgive, okay, many games do that.
Camera angle:
it has the same, tight, over the shoulder camera angle, that has your character obscuring.. basically everything.. okay, i can handle that, maybe i can change camera angles.. nope, nope, must live with it,, just look around really fast as often as i can.
This makes playing VERY difficult, especially looking for skulls.
3/10
Gameplay experience:
i play the first level
woah this is awesome! it's pretty, it's fast, and i get points!!! ooo multiplier.. *watches points roll in*
level two. okay, this sounds really different... no, wait.. same thing...
level three... er... same thing but less area to move around in
um... i hope i'm not seeing a pattern here
level 'x' ermmm... okay, maybe.. i should STOP hoping that some brilliant new game mechanic and or mode is going to pop in sometime soon.
it's fun enough 5 minutes at a time, but where's the effort and ingenuity? it's a mindless shooter at it's most mindless, don't expect brilliance.
5/10
Online:
mmmm... lets try online, i can see this having really fun, frenetic, fast paced multiplayer.
*you are not signed in to live, try again later*
......... yes i am..
so i try again later
nope. online doesn't work, big fat 0/10 for multiplayer.
Graphics:
okay, i'll give it this, the graphics are smoooooooth. environmentally appropriate grainy dark, dankness. it fits the mood of a sophisticated bloodsport club.
that being said, it's not very deep, it's pretty, but it doesn't mean anything. it's not realistic. just flash.
8/10
overall, it's pretty, it's repetitive, it's slightly broken (the multiplayer), it's lazy (console camera angles and button requests)
i know it's low, it's harsh, and it may deserve better. but personal opinion is personal opinion.
4/10 - spend your money elsewhere.
