Square's worst game

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. I repeat, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. The Bouncer is nothing but a rental, so don't waste your money on it. Yes, The Bouncer is a beautiful game. These are simply the best graphics on any system. The animation is amazing as well. BUT...graphics don't mean anything in the long run -- it's all about gameplay. The Bouncer has the most boring, repetitive "gameplay" found in any fighting game. The story is a joke too, and we don't really care for these characters at all. If you like gorgeous cinemas, then The Bouncer is for you. It is one big long cut-scene with about fifteen minutes of actual gameplay thrown in. The Bouncer is a laughable, beautiful, pathetic mess. Square should be ashamed of themselves -- The Bouncer is easily the worst game they have ever made.

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.

Do You Get To Play?

I bought this game and was soooooooo disappointed. Cinematics and more Cinematics, its like watching a bad movie. You go through fight 3-4 guys and then watch a movie for5 minutes. So repetitive, moves were weak, and gameplay was beyond poor. I honestly don't have anything good to say about this game. All I could say is forget about buying this game and buy Onimusha, now that's a game.

THIS GAME

This game is really bad. I mean yea it has good graphics and stuff, but 1) it's super boring 2) the storyline sucks. I really like Resident Evil style games. This is definetly not! I mean you don't control the characters, the PS2 controls it for you. If you really like fighting games, get it! But, if your like me and you like Resident Evil style games don't waste your money. The whole game is just fighting.

This game looks fantastic. It's visually stunning and works the PS2's capabilities to a great extent. The sound and cinematics are nice too..

..but that's about where the fun stops. This is a brawling game where you get to pick one of three fighters in single-player mode. The controls are limited and clumsy (but the buttons are pressure sensative, which is kind of cool). There's not much in the way of skill here...mash mash mash, you know?

I was excited about this game, but got instantly bored when I played it for the first time. Thank goodness there's a return policy at Babbages.

Don't buy this one. It's short and boring..and pretty slow. Not good for a fighter/brawler.

Great Graphics That Fall To The WaySide

To start of with this game has some pretty great graphics, but it stops there. The storyline is interesting but the CGI interruptions are very numerous and take up at least a 1/4 of the story. And to top this all of the story barely lasts over an hour. Squaresoft makes some phenomenal games just look at the Final Fantasy franchise, but this is not anywhere near what I expect of them. If I wanted a fighting game i would get something like Tekken or Bloody Roar. If u like realistic fighting games and fighting/tornament games this is for u. However do not let the promise of a good story game or the Squaresoft label fool u, a Final Fantasy this is most definitely not. To give what positive review I care to, in the whole fighting/tournament genre this is definitely one of the better ones. The fighters look very realistic and the moves do as well. However the premise to this game was the story and boy did it choke!!!!!!!

I'd rather give it a 0 Stars Rating, But Can't

This game has great graphics. The movie scenes are top of the line. The producer is Squaresoft!! The name sounds great!! One catch, the game ... It took me 2 hours to beat it. The gameplay is easy. The plot is ... The villains are annoying. The fighting is awesome, what little it has. I wasted my money, I shall not waste it in vain. Don't buy this game!! Have you ever hated returning a game to the video rental store, and not beating it, and having to rent all over again?!?! This is the game for you. Rent it, beat it, return it...in the same day! In my honest opinion, Squaresoft should stick to the Role-Playing genre,

No Replay value, and it was a short game

This game took approximately 3 hours for me to beat the first time I played, and I felt no desire to play again to release hidden things or learn more about the characters. The story is relatively boring,the characters uninteresting, and all in all the game is a dud. The play style is also pretty horrible. Essentially the game is a bunch of movies that tell you the plot, and all you do is fight in between the movies. The fighting system is easy and unimaginitive. This is a glorified fighting game that trys to be interesting by adding in the movies. It didn't work.

eh ?

The bouncer is ... well an RPG. Besides that its not that good. Yeah, the graphics are top of the line, and the game starts out fun, but it gets bad ... real bad. After a while it just gets downright boring.

ONE WORD STINKS

one day i was flipping throught the pages of a game magazine adn i came upon a game called the bouncer. it looked cool and i thought iam going to get that game. time came when it came out and i saw it at a rental store. i grabbed it and couldnt wait to play it to beat up some bad guys. boy did i pick the worst game to rent. i beat the game in 1hour 30minutes about and the thirty is for gameplay and the hour is for the in game movies. i have never played in a game in my life that has so many movies in it in so little time. iam giving this game a one because of the best part of the game that is the graphics.
