6.3

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/catwoman/review.html

Catwoman isn't a good game. The graphics are its only real strong point, and the rest of it has the feel of a bad attempt to duplicate the acrobatic gameplay that made last year's Prince of Persia such a success. But bad control and annoying camera work get in the way of this goal, making Catwoman a rental--at best. However, most players won't be missing much if they skip this one entirely.

were we expecting anything otherwise?

sad really..

were you expecting anything otherwise?

I didn't get the impression he was expecting anything. He just reported the review.

 

[evil ways]

Looks like they made a great job of channeling the movie's quality through the game.

The comment wasn't directed to him, It was meant for anyone in general.

If it's so bad then why did it get 6.3? Sounds like about a 4 judging by the text.

 

[GDJustin]

I don't get review scores. That paragraph summary makes it sound like a 3.4 or a 4.4. Not a 6.4, which might be a "D," but is still passing. Reviewers are too scared to give games they didn't enjoy bad scores...

Edit: Damn you drowningman!

Two letters: EA

No shit.

How can something as scathing as that warrant a 6.3?

I was going to make the exact same post.

This brutal and sadistic rape of the 10-point scale has got to go. Use it all, please, not just 7-10!

Anybody buy Catwoman? Anybody?

 

[Killbin]

were we expecting anything otherwise?

Just no!

 

[signet]

Sudeki > Catwoman

Take that EA!

 

[nubbe]

Dose this mean EA will need to pay penalty royaltys for the bad game since it hit >50% at Game Rankings?

 

[Killbin]

Nubbe

CyPress?

 

[B E N K E]

It's more like 1.3 from what I've heard.

 

[WarPig]

It's a "for God's sake don't buy it." Pick whatever number suits you.

DFS.

Another weird thing about Catwoman's combat is that it seems to go out of its way to illustrate that none of your enemies ever dies from your attacks. When an enemy is defeated, he'll continue to stand around, but he'll glow and stop attacking you. And if you knock an enemy off of a high ledge, the game will often cut to a view of the enemy landing--and then sitting up and holding his head.

teh innovation!

I was. EA stands for Quality.

Written from scratch in 8 months flat.

Wow, hating the Catwoman movie sounds like a cool thing. I thought the game would have gotten something like a 4.0... a 6.3 isn't very bad, just not good at all. (I found the Catwoman movie to be above average)

Didn't you get the memo? Everything below a 7 is a 'failing grade'! GAFfers said so, so it must be true!
