Under the Skin - Gamespot review

works for Gamestop (lol)

"Under the Skin is built mostly on novelty, but all its quirky pieces don't really add up to a particularly compelling title. It has style, attitude, and even some interesting concepts, but rather than putting some work into making a gameplay experience that has variety and lasting appeal, its developers apparently tried to get by on weird charm alone. This weird charm may be enough to keep a person amused for the duration of a rental, but the game certainly won't hold up any longer than that."

I can't believe Capcom even bothered with this game. They could have spent the resources finishing up Killer7 and biohazard 4. ::sigh::
 
Yeah, Capcom has been going through some rough times review wise lately. I'd like to try both Monster Hunter, and Under the Skin, despire reviews. Viewtiful Joe 2 and Resident Evil 4 should get Capcom back on the right track review wise.

Yeah, but some people gave Monster Hunter really good scores. We've seen nothing but sub-par ratings for UtS. That's not to say it doesn't have any redeeming qualities, but I don't think it's a love it/hate it kinda thing with MH. More just a tepid feeling.

And even i am moderately surprised
"not sure if I can trust GS on this. They gave Monster Hunter a 5.7"

that score is too high.

The game is just too fircken boring, it's not in the same galaxy as Katamari.

I agree with you 100%. Under The Skin SUCKS people...it's not even worth bothering with, even when it (probably quickly) drops to $20. I don't know what the hell happened, but Capcom has produced one of the most boring games I have ever played. Worst game this year for me by far.

??? is this sarcasm? I thought you were a Monster Hunter superfan?! or do you mean Under the Skin's score is too high, not Monster Hunter's? :)

I think he means UtS, who would compare Katamari to Monster Hunter?

Dammit I loved this game at E3. I refuse to believe it's as bad as the reviews say... refuse! :( I'll probably wait until it drops in price though since I just have too much crap on my plate as is.
