We’ve all played Guitar Hero. Press a few buttons, flick the strummer. But why all the over-hype on a game that simply rules on its own merit.
Activision has released their press junket to the pre-order sites with these statements:
Challenges you to perform the music of the legendary Aerosmith
Take on the roles of Aerosmith members Joe Perry, Brad Whitford and Tom Hamilton
Experience the career trajectory of a band becoming more and more popular
Really? I can take on the roles? Does the package come with an 8-ball? Can I hit a groupie after I’m done my set? I don’t understand all this hype, who is buying this game honestly thinking they can “Experience the career trajectory” of Aerosmith.
Do you have Halo Fever? Seeing blue glowing spots? Locking on with your knife before cutting something? Constantly wondering where you are only carrying two things at any one time? I recommend BioShock for temporary relief!
I heard so much about this “genetically enhanced super shooter”. Alright, we GET IT, it’s “revolutionary”, Ooo. But, I was quickly silenced. A mere one level into renting this game I just wanted to play another. It’s not just the gameplay, it’s EVERYTHING. I had to purchase it before my rental period was even up.
While the game is quite linear, exploration of the world is encouraged for extra resources. From the opening scene to your first plasmid (genetic powerup), you want to immerse yourself in the world of Rapture…
