Incredible Graffix, Boring Gameplay, and Too Short

this game had sick potential. when u first start to play it... u think it is totally sick, great graffix, incredible fmv's.. but as u get farther into the game, the gameplay gets too tedious.. like how many times can u possibly press "punch, kick, punch, kick." the boring fighting set up is often interrupted by beautiful movie sequences that gradually move the story along. after about an hour and a half of fighting many bad guys/bosses, and watchin the hundreds of movie sequences, the game is over. u will finish the game the 1st time u sit down to play it. SUMMARY: sick graffix, repetitive action, good movies, short game.. make this a 5 dollar rental from blockbuster.. cuz u can beat it in 1 night.. there also shoudl ahve been a more developed multiplayer aspect

Great game but too short....

This is a great game - good game play and incredible graphics. I have to give it that. But it lacks replay value and is WAY TOO short.

Casual gamers will enjoy it but those of who prefer longer, more detailed games with find it boring and again, very short. I was able to finish the game the first I sat down to play it.

Read the other reviews and then rent it before buying it.

Great graphics, poor play

I read the other reviews and I agree with them. It only took me about an hour to beat this game one time through. I was expecting something much much more. The movie sequences are great, as are the actual playing graphics, but too much time is wasted on the movies. Please rent this game before you purchase it (if you even do.)

Good graphics, but that's it

This is one of the shortest games I have ever played in my life, and believe me, I've played a lot of games. This game is even shorter than Metal Gear Solid 1, and that game is beyond short. I'm too lazy to write a long review, so I'm just going to make this short (like the game). The graphics are nice, the gamplay is slow and boring, the music is okay, and the story makes little sense. How can a 19 and 15 year old work at a bar? It's stuff like this that I just do not understand.

Graphics:9

Gameplay:5

Sound/Music:7

Replay Value:4

Story:4

Overall:5.5

Good graphics but bad game

Just a couple of words to sum it up. Squaresoft is just not trying anymore. Yeah sure the cinimatics are great but all you do is just fight. You watch a movie then just fight. There is not brain skills involved no puzzels to solve and it is not worth buying. Stay away from this one until the price goes down.

Great Graphics, But Light On The Actual Playing

Well, this is one of the most highly anticipated games ever, and it's release has definatly made an impact. Of course, the graphics are amazing and are probably the best in any game, except for maybe Shenmue. The music is good, and the voice acting is good enough that it doesn't spoil the mood of the game. The only problem comes in terms of gameplay. For example, you can choose one of three bouncers for each battle. I used the same person for each battle, and I beat the game my first time though in 1 hour! I still have yet to complete the game with the other two characters, and a promise of new story elements being revealed with these two other characters adds to the replay. The survival mode is pretty boring, though, having you just beat up enemies with one life bar...pretty bad if you ask me. The versus mode is good, especially with two players. When you start playing with 4 people, the camera is so far away that you can't even hear the sound effects of you hitting another character. Pretty lame. And also, this game only supports the dual shock 2, not the original one. Therefor, I was only able to play 2 player games, because my old controllers from playstation 1 don't work. Although this game has a few faults, it is worth the price of admission, and it is definatly one of the best games out on the playstation 2 market.

Dont believe the hype

The three stars I have given are only for those who like fighting games - and If you do then stick with DOA2, or Tekken because this game doesnt come close to the enjoyment of those games. The storyline is extremely rigid with absolutlety no opportunity of changing its course (sorry RPG fans - this ones not for you). On its plus side is of course the graphics - some of the cut scenes are breathtaking - but after you seen them youve seen them - watching cut scenes is not gameplay. If you take out the cut scenes the actual game time to complete the whole story mode is about 6 minutes.. fighting one thing then the next. Games saves are always positioned before the cut scenes, and it gets frustrating the amount of skipping/loading to get a rematch with the baddy that just finished you.

Awesome Graphics, but too short and no storyline

This game sucks except the graphics are the best. Only buy this if you are into the graphics, however if you like the gameplay factor do not buy this and waste your money!!!!

This is by far one of the most fun games I've ever played. Great voice acting...FINALLY (i.e. Shenmue, Resident Evil...) The best graphics I've ever seen, cool characters, not wussy ones like Cloud (FF7), and an excellent replay value. This game, at some points, has bad camera angles and it's hard to tell where the enemies are. The game, in a nutshell it is Movie scene-fight-movie scene-fight... But it's easy to ignore that because the battles are a lot of fun. The game has a fairly original story: Your girlfriend gets kidnapped, you've gotta find her and eventually save the world. This may sound bland but it has a very good twist to a not-that-original plot. The only other thing I have a problem with is: You should be able to pick up objects to throw at enemies like chairs, but you only have fists and feet. Overall however, I would strongly reccomend this game to anyone who likes adventure/action with a little bit of RPG elements to it.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

ITs true that this is a great visual masterpiece but the game is only about 2 hours long and you have to beat it about 10 times to get all the secret characters who are useless anyway. Survival mode and vs mode are the biggest waster of time because each character have about 8 combos that you can do and all must be learned. After they are learned just pressing a button or two with L1 makes those combos come out. The games story is the worst. You will be bored with this game in three hours. Most enemies are only vunerable to one or two of those special combos so you are going to be doing the same thing over and over. The game also asks if you want to save almost every scene. If you buy this game you will regret it.
