Joseph0714 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Ouch indeed! I was hoping this was going to be a good XBLA, or atleast a decent one, but that score is way too low :S Still, gotta wait for more Reviews and also will try the demo.

Joseph0714 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I don't trust reviews so I still got hope for it lol Also I was so confident that this was gonna be great that I even bought the points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annalie Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ill decide for myself, im still buying this. its only 800 points so no biggie. even if its bad.. it still looks like a decent 200:gsicon:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filter x360a Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah...You can't always trust reviews. Its good to be aware of those points before going in, but I'll probably still pick it up. Like the above poster put, I'd rather decide for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i got squeezed Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wow, so the game sounds pretty lame. I'll see for myself tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBriggz Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'll still be picking it up tomorrow . I had a quick read of the review and, to me, it looks like the reviewer was expecting far too much for an 800MSP XBLA game. He didn't even point out any of the games good points, only the negatives.

Jellybean468 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just downloaded this, I'm not really fussed about reviews, I make my own opinions aha. This is the first arcade game for a damn good time that has interested me so why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i got squeezed Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Well I can say the review is right coming from me. Played it, liked it first 5 minutes and quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annalie Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 So far im liking this game. the controls aren't perfect probably because this was developed for the ps3 first, but that's ok. i enjoy taking a break from the same old crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1hMrDeath Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 whats the difficulty like Annalie ? how hard is hard for example ?,still cn't decide myself may get it later tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annalie Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 whats the difficulty like Annalie ? how hard is hard for example ?,still cn't decide myself may get it later tonight There are 3 difficulties, i tried on hard first. but i keep dying after 3 hits(got annoyed lol). so i switched to easy. and from what ive noticed you cant really die on easy if you're careful. but yea hard will be a challenge, for me at least.

Inebriated Jedi Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Destructoid has posted a PSA warning people to stay far, far away from the game since it's so terrible: http://www.destructoid.com/psa-do-not-buy-amy-today-219488.phtml I think I'll pass.

jeremyh120 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I really like the game judging from the demo, the controls are awkward but I'm a big fan of the original RE games so I don't mind. Besides... awkward controls and survival horror go together like pb&j. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supadryz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's a shame this has been slated I was looking forward to this, I've downloaded the demo so I'll have to judge it for myself. The reviews so far on metacritic Have not been good to Amy on PS3 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XARCTICXMONKEYX Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 So I just competed the demo. Thought I would give some thoughts seeing as it's getting mixed reviews. I can see how people can criticise it as the controls are abit off but the game does have a nice tense old school feeling about it. If you enjoyed the old Resident Evils and Silent Hills on PS1 you will get a kick out of this. Feels quite outdated but if you take it for what it is, at only 800 Ms points I think it's a cool little game. Probs a 7/10 but I would say unless you enjoyed and played alot of old survival horror games you won't like this. Nice for old school fans to relive old memories on a new game.

Ayx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 If you played the Demo, don't give a review based on it. That's exactly what it is, an introduction Chapter. The game starts in Chapter Two pretty much, it's some of the basic patterns (Hiding, shoving Amy down holes, sending her to hack 240 times like she's some wizard.) and you get Amy's abilities which is suppose to be really good but so far it's not proving too useful as you might as well bash the heads of the Zombies because you can't stealth them 80% of the time. The game is beautiful, ignore the Screen Tearing and it's actually very well designed. The game is dark, gives a chilling feeling and has a few scares if you're using Turtle Beaches or a loud volume. The thing that single handedly kills this game is the Checkpoint System, due to it the game's difficulty spikes intensely and not in a difficult way since it's trial and error, it's the time that it takes to get from Point A to Point B without messing up. It's about a 15 minute session if you don't run through it and it has to be pretty flawless (A little forgiveness if you failed Stealth on a Zombie since you can kill them, not a soldier or a big monster.) or you're done, back 15 minutes. Times this about 60 times and you finished one chapter of Amy. There's 6. Once Outinthedark can confirm these achievements are Stackable the X/10 rating will be significantly lower and it will get a bonus with Video Walkthroughs. Without it, you're looking at an easy 8/10 simply in tediousness and the difficulty of the game later on. Great game, the few flaws really can put the debate on the purchase or not.
