GAME review - Devastation

[kup]

Although the visuals are awesome and chances are that I will buy this game, my concerns about it appear to have been warranted. This is just a button mashing japanese bet'emup game where you run around pressing buttons that do flashy moves then it's 'rinse and repeat' for the next level.

I am dissapointed as I would have wanting something more epic but to each their own.

You really live up to your avatar's old-timer thinking and ignorance. You probably think games like Street Fight is just 'button-mashing' as well.

But the one thing that I truly love about this game is how the screen characters look like the toys! This game makes really want to play with my toys! And indeed, after my first try, I just had to shut down my game so that I could do exactly that! I'm really loving how this game complements the toys so well. Even the Battlechargers are kinda Bumblebee-esque and the Seekers resemble the CHUGUR Seekers, most noticeably on the missile launchers. It's as if the game developers are dropping a less than subtle hint for Hasbro to retool these existing moulds in order to release them as toys.

I might just steal that idea for a few custom jobs.

You are calling me ignorant about games? You are the one comfusing a fighting game to a beat'em up

That's not the point I'm making with my analogy at all.

Well I just showed you that I clearly know the difference so what's your point?

[FruitBuyer]

My point is that to call Devastation "just a button-mashing" isn't fair. If you've played Platinum's other games then you would know that they're not "just button-mashing".

To call it button-mashing is to call games like God of War and Shadow of Mordor "button-mashing".

Old school game design for older school characters! So much of the simpler days of gaming is now lost (entire genres even). Not every game has to be a massive epic to be good fun and worth buying.

I'm with Kup - I came to the same conclusion within just a few minutes of playing the game. This game is definitely NOT in the same league as the previous War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron!

Ah well too bad at least we get a G1 Transformers game on PC in these modern times anyway ...
