Disagree with GS review. Again. Good game but too repetitive

User Rating: 7.5 | Thor: God of Thunder DS
By jcsadone | Review Date:
When I was reading the GS review I had a feeling, that author is writing under the impression that game based on a movie can't be good. It's not true - this one is. Heck - it's really awesome, if You don't mind repetitive fights and more or less schematic gameplay. Bu it's a side scrolling beat'em'up - what did You expect? Portal 3? Sudoku? Really guys, if You buy FPS don't expect complex political background for not important NPC. If You invest Your time and money into hack and slash - do not expect more than good beating. Same with Thor - it's great game on it's own terms, nothing more. It's not a life saver for sick review author.

Good stuff:
+graphics - neat stuff, I don't think DS can handle better 2D thingy. And the art style is just juicy!
+gameplay mechanics - it's in Your blood. 2-5 minutes to learn how to fight and then hours of pleasure wreatching the havoc ^^
+replayability
+it's one of the best games about superheroes on DS and best movie-tie game since... I can't even remember

Bad stuff:
-there is not enough variety of things to do. I don't want sims like simulation, but it would be neat if we got some minigames to occupy our time
-like with every game like this - beating is fun only to some point. Great that it's not getting bored too soon.

Overall - it's a good one. A lot better than the review is telling. Just google it. Some game sites give it 8/10, gamers give it a lot more credit than GS review. And hey? When I first checked Thor on this site it was may 3 - the premiere day. It has 1/10 - so You know... the haters gonna hate, no matter how good game is :)
