Pretty decent game, basically GTA but in a post-apocalypse world. Character animations are a bit poor, but some of the visuals are beautiful, and the fighting is fun (if a little repetitive). It's an old game so won't get changed now, but it could do with being more difficult.

Dull. Dull, dull dull. And stutters a lot, even on a pretty decent system. The graphics are nice and the acting good, but there's no fun to be had. It's just wandering around, solving boring puzzles surrounded by poorly-rendered corpses. There's no payoff to be had.

It's really just a waste of time. You can't even walk around and listen to the stories from those tombstone things, because as you walk away from them, the voices get quieter. So you have to stand and listen to some boring sod talk about things that are in God of War, but are dealt with much more interestingly.

Maybe I'll revisit it, but for now I'm going back to being a Pootisberb on TF2.

I've been playing computer games since we got a Commodore PET in the 1970s. I've had loads of great experiences and an awful lot of fun, but this and the predecessor are without doubt the finest games I've ever played. They're simply astonishing. The attention to detail is phenomenal and I love that it gives the characters time to interact, to show their emotions, to explain their motives. It's just pure brilliance. Highly recommended.

I'm less impressed by the 150gig of shader cache, but there we go. Maybe Kratos can sort that out.

Absolutely outstanding, great acting, great story, great visuals, superb audio (first time I've ever heard a game make the audio reverberent when you're in caves). Fantastic fights, massive world - it's just astonishing.

Fantastic set of episodes with some really great jokes. I had to resort to walkthroughs on a few puzzles, sometimes because I was just stuck, but other times because the interface didn't quite make it obvious what I could do to solve something (like the keys at the end of episode 5).

But a really great game for Monkey Island fans.

There were a few points in this pretty dull game where I was so annoyed with the stupid things the NPCs were doing, that I wanted to option to just get into a shuttle and leave them to their doom.

It's ok but not as good as 1&2. And the sound mix is really, really terrible.

Awesome game, great story, great acting (apart from cheesy Batman) and fantastic graphics. Highly recommended, although 243 riddler puzzles is taking the mick a bit.

Amazing game, superb gameplay, fantastic story, great acting, wonderful graphics, and so many, many hours of gameplay. Every time I defeat a big boss I think I'm at the end and nope, there's more story to go!

Lovely game with lots to it. I wish you could explore off the beaten track a little, perhaps the ship could turn towards things you can see in the distance. And a bit more interaction with people would be nice.

It's ok, not as good as The Room. The puzzles are fairly simple to solve and there aren't many secrets to find. But there's no real payoff at the end - just a teaser for the sequel. At the very least I'd like to have seen some intense graphics as a reward for my efforts.

Also, the graphics are nice but while I have a fairly decent desktop PC, it would reliably crash whenever on maximum settings - I had to scale it down a little.

One last thing - it forces you to watch the credits. No. Nope. I'm not interested in watching a load of scrolling names. Don't do that.
