Clash of the Titans Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a caveat, I'm just a casual gamer who only within the last two or three years finally branched out beyond the likes of Ms. Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat Trilogy (lol) so my standards for what I consider "good" are probably quite different from the guys (and gals) who run out and buy every new game that is released each week. But with that said, I actually found this PS3 Clash of the Titans game to be pretty decent despite what all the "official" magazine reviews and my fellow Amazonians might say.

Yes, film-wise the 2010 remake of Titans was terribly miscast and lacked the cheesy charm that made the original such a classic, but the game proves to be more engaging and definitely keeps you on your toes throughout. I really appreciated the creative license that was taken with the design of the enemy creatures encountered and thought most of the boss battles and cut scenes looked pretty cool from a cinematic standpoint. It successfully avoids trying to mirror the movie to a T, and aside from the most basic plotline which everybody already knows, I had a good time never knowing exactly what kind of original environment I'd end up in next. The voice acting isn't horrible per se, but there are lengthy pauses between lines of dialogue that give character interactions an awkward flow, and a lot of it can't be skipped over.

Gameplay is simple to pick up on, for the most part, but gets repetitive after a short while. Despite dozens of weapons available to acquire, along with their subsequent upgrades, the bottom line is you can get by perfectly fine with button mashing. The closest thing I can compare it to in that respect is last year's Dante's Inferno. Plus the whole thing seems drawn-out in general, asking you to complete endless inane "quests" before finally reaching a certain goal and letting you move on. My main gripe however is that several of the bosses or tasks are actually quite difficult to conquer on the first try, and when you die it tends to restart you at a point set much further back and you have to replay a good chunk of the level, which is frustrating. Not a lot of room for error.

But overall I thought it was a fun game in and of itself, and wanted to take a stab at defending it against all the negativity. Like I said, I am not a seasoned gamer so maybe I'm a little easier to please, who knows. As long as you don't go into it expecting a history lesson, or are still harboring resentment from the movie, I think you'll find it's worth a look.
