Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom producer Daisuke Uchiyama is tired of over-the-top violence in games, and thinks he's found a different.

3425d agoI agree with you T9X69 on Jim's bipolar way of reviewing things.There was an episode of QORE on Majin. The theme was cool, the trailer looked amazing. Hell even some people were comparing it to The Last Gaurdian.The game is ugly. Everything looks like it's made out of shards of purple glass. Nothing is smooth, the gameplay is so mediocre, the Majin is a retard and talks like a tool like Sloth. He doesn't have that jolly beast sound like, I don't know, Ludo from The Labrynth.
So I can't figure out how for the life of me Jim Sterling gave this game a 9.5/10. Sad to see his up and down reviews, the next game on the chopping block is GT5. Watch the toolbag give it a 6, or what ever number rolls out on his Dungeon and Dragons Die, he uses to figure out the scores. 3425d agoI like Game Republic and was looking forward to checking this out.Then I played the demo.Thought the intro had nice presentation and decent VA. Then the 'gameplay' started proper.First, that beast should not be able to talk.
As soon as it talked it was a huge turn off. What made it worse was the voice acting was terrible: like a stereotype, 'I'm big and stupid', kind of thing. Ugh.Then there was the gameplay, or total lack of it. Command a NPC to play an action game for you. Wow, that's interesting. It's no better than me sitting down with my wife, passing the controller to her, and telling her how to play a game.
Sorry, but that's not what I look for in an action game. Strategy RPG?
Er, no.It's a pass for me. Anyway, with GT5 out on Thursday it probably would have been a pass regardless of what I thought of it. 3425d agoJims been plugging away and hyping up this title for months now.I don't think he could have allowed himself to dislike it.;-)Great to see this little game getting such high profile praise, an 8 from Game Informer and a 7 from Edge, not bad at all.
I expect to see some polarising low end reviews before the week is out, these type of games always have that love it or hate it effect on critics.Its not out in Ireland until Friday so I've a full week of tiptoeing around the internet to avoid spoilers.
