First of all hello there I'm new to these forums and I'm used to the OXF Forums so please to flame me, so anyway here's my Naughty Bear review!
Naughty Bear was released around a month ago and has had mixed reviews from sites such as IGN and eurogamer.com. Some gamers have called Naughty Bear a "marmite" game (You either hate it or love it) and I have to say that I am inbetween these two opinions. The basic plot of Naughty Bear is about a bear called Naughty Bear (Coincidence!) who is such a naughty bear that all the other bears on Paradise island never invite him to any of their parties and eventually they attempt to get rid of Naughty thus he seeks more revenge. The plot would make you think the game is quite sick and twisted right? Wrong, the game has no feel of evilness to it. Now, I'm not saying it sucks or anything but I think many people will agree that it would've been much better as an Xbox Live arcade game. The points system in Naughty Bear is by far the best I've ever seen in any game, it's just so simple to understand it's brilliant! You kill a bear normally with a weapon that gets you some points, you kill them with the weapon's "special attack" (As I call them) you get even more points, you kill them by a sabotaged object you get around the same amount of points as the special attack and finally if you drive a bear insane it "puts them over the edge" they commit suicide (If they have a weapon they use that). The last part of the game I'm going to mention is the graphics, now I understand and I hope you will also that you purchase the game to play it not look at the graphics, but Naughty Bear's graphics are quite different to other games. The textures of the bears, plants, houses etc. to me look rather smooth and fine but with a game like Naughty Bear I would rather have cell shaded graphics similar to Crackdown 2. The multiplayer aspect of this game just feels like a wasted part of the game. There are 4 gametypes in Naughty Bear with a maximum of 4 players a game with no split-screen or System Link which is a big let down. Another problem with the multiplayer is that it is usually difficult to connect to a friend. In a nutshell Naughty Bear is a marmite game and is something different to the games world and I give it a 7/10!
Thank you for taking your time for reading this review and please provide feedback which would be very appreciated!

Oddness, I don't remember seeing this review
Love this game, though I think with all the games coming out this season I'm going to miss my goal of completing the game by the end of the year (though somewhat close...)
EDIT: and oh yeah, it's been green-lit for a sequel... so there'll be more stuffing loosing madness! |
