It really wasn't that bad. Remove the gem system, and maybe even the tag teams, and you get a solid Street Fighter 4 spinoff with a whole bunch of new characters to play with.

It won't revolutionize the genre, and the Vita had the power to give us a full-on 3D skateboarding game, but I guess we'll settle for this.
2012
Hypnotic, addictive, with a fantastic soundtrack.
2013
I really wanted to love this game. Making the back touchscreen controls mandatory made it entirely unplayable.
2012
Absolutely fantastic, but would have been even better without the awful touchscreen controls.
2013
Pretty fun and well designed.
2013
It did not kill my old PS3 and thank you for that.
2010
Spectacular and fast-paced TPS by Shinji Mikami. A bummer it did not do well and we never got any sequel.
2012
After the first few hours, quickly loses its appeal.
I mean, yeah, it's God of War, it's not a bad episode... but I am not sure it was really a necessary one. Feels like GoW III already had done everything that is in this game, but better.
2012
This game is HUGE. Going through the main quest by itself will already take several dozen hours. Attempting the 100% is downright insane. It's big. Too big? Maybe. But yet again, the humour, the writing and the characters make it worth the time invested.
2010
Leagues ahead of the previous entry in the series. Introduces several new playable characters, fun storylines. Combat was improved too. A good episode.
2009
Even the greatest video game series stumble sometimes.
2008
Fun, fast and great looking. The physics are still weird but in WipEout they've always been, so it'd be hard to blame it on this episode specifically. It's no F-Zero GX for sure, nor did it ever claim to be.
That this series became this big after starting so poorly is quite impressive. Nothing in this first installment is really exciting : the gunfights are godawful with headshots too frequently failing to be headshots, enemies who manage to snipe you with an AK47 from the other side of an arena while you're crouching in the dark, climbing sequences that are everything but fun. Somehow the enemies manage to always be a step ahead of you when it makes no sense scenaristically. The dialogue is OK I guess, and the graphics are fine, but overall it's not a great game.
