    Part JRPG, part sidescrolling platformer, part shooter, part beat-em-up. All awesome.

    NIer. An ugly game on the outside that holds within a beauty that other games only wish to possess. From the start you may be forgiven to think that it's some obscure ps2 HD remake that only came out in Japan first time ... Read Full Review

    Meatless Chicken Bone

    Ok, great gameplay, nice battle system, fantastic story....but please...take one step back...ignore the half naked girl with the dirty mouth, and take a good look at the whole game itself.... I'm conflicted. Was this... Read Full Review

    Nier is one ugly game, but it sure is good.

    Ugly. This game is ugly. The lead character is physically ugly. The graphics aren't the best, too. Surely this game must suck, right? Wrong. This game is a gem, a real beauty that's lost in a sea of over-hyped nonsense. ... Read Full Review

    All together a great game. Not at all like anything you would have played before

    If your looking for something different then look no further. This game is a complete mash up of many different genres and for the most part it works. I played the game on normal and i found that there was some challenge... Read Full Review

    One of the first games in a long LONG while to really suck me in.

    This review will be based on categories as follows: Gameplay: The gameplay of this game is very well done, you can use three different weapons by half the game (one handed sword, two handed sword, and spear) and yo... Read Full Review

    Call her back... with the power of words.

    Let's get one thing straight: Nier is an ugly game. It's not downright terrible, but it doesn't meet the general standards that have been set by the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. For this reason you'd be forgiven for pas... Read Full Review

    A surprisingly enjoyable game

    I hesitated to get this, but when I finally did I decided to rent it out, I really wasn't expecting much to be honest because most reviews I've read have been quite discouraging. When I turned it on, the opening was enou... Read Full Review

    A 5? No more like 8.

    This game is underrated. It does deserve a higher rating in my opinion. The story is what really sucked me into this game. It's about a single father trying to find a cure for his daughter who has the black scrawl. Th... Read Full Review

    Far better than whatever the critics say.

    Nier is truly an unappreciated game. I personally think it's a wonderful game, perhaps one of the best RPGs out there. First of all, the story is really solid, albeit confusing at times. You start off knowing that so... Read Full Review
