IGN: Last Guy Review

Closing Comments
In the end, The Last Guy is an outstanding title that's challenging, funny, and fresh. Yes, it's a download and it's rather simple looking, but once you get your hands on the controls and get to the point where you've tanked for the fifth time in a row and are plotting a path on the map overview before your next deployment, you'll know why this game rocks. Plain and simple, The Last Guy deserves to have a place on your hard drive.

[TOO PAWNED]

cool, i tried DEMO and game is not for me, but more power to Sony for this type of games.

[Nitrowolf2]

its not my type of game either, but nice review

[Overr8ed]

different strokes for different folks. i think am going to try out the demo,since this is a review well.

[SpecialSauce]

that shyt was a waste of money. i tried to play it with sooooooooo many people and no one liked it including me.

[chaosatom]

I thought it was awesome.

Does anybody know if it has some co-op?

[Andras84]

I didn't like the demo either!!

[marinelife9]

Definitely for the casuals. My wife liked the demo but I didn't care for it much.

[Gamekilla]

i know hindi too...
and it was awesome....

the game was O.K. not amazing by any means but enough things happening on screen to create some depth in strategy....

TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T LIKE THE DEMO....just go play it...one more time...

[orakga]

...whether or not they charge for the extra maps.
I got the Japanese version when it came out. It cost me $10 (equivalent), but only came with ONE map (split up into three levels).

For $10, that's a rip off.

BUT!! I hear they're going to be adding more placed to the game, and if they are provided as free add-ons, I will take back what I said. Until then, I'm on the sideline. The game itself is quirkily fun; but it's got a potential pricing issue.

[Torch]

Tried it last night...just couldn't get into it.

Demo deleted immediately thereafter.

[joemayo76]

the only minor gripe i had was it was a lil difficult to tell whether my (last) guy could go on som streets or not, sure u have that nightvision-mode but it was like i said, a minor gripe. Other than that i was kinda hooked on it :)

[Siesser]

Orakga, "With the full game, you’ll get to experience the full Asakusa stage from the demo, plus a bunch of other exciting cities from around the world, with 15 stages in all. Of course there’s London and Los Angeles, which we originally mentioned. And in the latest trailer above you can see cities like Washington, D.C., Sydney, Berlin, and Chinatown in Yokohama, Japan. There are lots of other great cities waiting to be saved by you in the full game, plus a bunch of different kinds of zombies and boss zombies for you to outwit and out-maneuver. You’ll definitely have to use the power-ups scattered throughout each stage wisely to make it through each of the 15 stages. "

[orakga]

Yeah, thanks for that info. I actually heard that already, but it actually looks like they added even more maps since the last time I heard about the US release.

I guess... with all those maps, the game would justify that $10 pricepoint. But I hope they don't keep charging $1.99 for extra maps, and at the least provide a free add-on for the Japanese version (with all the maps in the US version).

I'm just really sick of getting nickel/dimed by gaming companies.

---

To others: Many of you seem to be having trouble locating your guy, etc. I can see why that would be a problem, but I think part of the "problem" is that the game was optimized for 1080p screens. It's a double-edged sword, really. 1080p games look blurry on 480p screens. And 480p games look blurry on 1080p screens...

Yeah, I totally wouldn't want to play this game at 480p either.

[cahill]

day 1 purchase

GOATY 2008

lol

[Overr8ed]

Goat of the Year?
If so the goat needs something to tell you, look at its face.

[chaosatom]

but dodging monster was fun.

And I am pretty sure that it's gets a lot more crazy with new stuff.

[Orange]

i had trouble seeing anything without switching vision. i'd like to be able to more distinctly see the monsters in normal mode.

[slave2Dcontroller]

LOLZ@Goat XD

[theusedfake]

and couldn't stop, at least until yesterday
when Disgaea 3 came out lol.
I can't wait to get the full version
of this game.

[chaosatom]

and fits really well.

[Drekken]

Very addicting... I really enjoyed it. I saw some of the madness to come in future maps and it looks sick.

When does this come out??

[TheExecutive]

tomorrow Drekken tomorrow

[Drekken]

Thanks exec, have another bubble (like you need it! lol)

[lonestarmt]

this is a fun game. Good PSN games lately. quest for booty, bionic commando, and now this!! Wish godzilla would have showed up though... lol

[CaptainHowdy]

don't forget Siren

[kinggeoff]

to forget siren. what a waste :(

[meepmoopmeep]

it's a fun game once you get the hang of it and play it more.

[RadientFlux]

I tried the demo and it wasn't bad. I might try it again in a few weeks after I finish Too Human and Merc2

[cahill]

thats the worst game of the year.

why on earth would someone purchase Too Human --68% at metacritics and 4/5/6 from most reviewers

[XXXCouture]

Because he like it?...

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

He purchased it because he liked it.

Is that a crime?

[theusedfake]

who cares what reviewers say,
if he likes it then that should
be enough of a reason for him to play.

[hokis4ever]

I agree with your comment (and the ones above) that 5.1 comments aren't necessary, but don't stoop to his level with your own "PS3 bashing" comment... come on

[cahill]

x360 has more games and more flops too

wartech, too human, two worlds, vampire rain, operation flashpoint---do i go one?

@radient

Last guy is a much better game. No way to refute that
Last guy wont be getting anything less than 8 from any site

[RadientFlux]

Too Human because I like it. Last weekend was amazing first I got to play the Ratchet and Clank episode then finished the weekend with Too Human and the Star Wars demo.

Now back to Last Guy, I have doubt I will have fun with the game, I'm just going to wait a few weeks so I have time to actually play it.

[Drekken]

crabby patty, looks like you are wrong... lol

[BlackTar187]

I like too human and I bought it and have played it a Crap ton. Is there a problem with that? I bought and liked lair as well and HS is there a problem with that ? there shouldnt be anyone who sits there and prays on someones shortcomings is a sad one. Be happy you have games with the way the industry is going to money not love and senseless hate and bias it may not be what you signed up for in 10yrs from now.

Just be weary good or bad games deserve to be made and played if thats something you dont agree with then the open zone is that way

[kazuma]

this was already here i think last month, but u truly have to see it. this is by far one of the best game ads ever! lmao, i almost died of laughing =D

"we used the power of the playstation 3 to create moving pictures!" AWESOME!

[facepalm]

I just loved how they he just talked about curry in the "interview"...
EDIT ADDED: Lol, they have so many random moments in the "interview".

EDIT ADDED...again: Just finished the ad...and I agree, one of the most awesome game ads ever!!

But yeah, this game is fun... ^-^

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

That is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time...

I'm glad Sony's opening up the PSN and supporting devs that, otherwise, wouldn't be able to express their creativity...

[meepmoopmeep]

yeah, that dev video was hilarious. so freaking funny and corny.
i still have it on my HDD off of PSN.
i'll buy this game so that they can buy a new goat and maybe we can see some breeding in their next video.

lol, when he was talking about the curry then said "sorry, i got carried away" i thought they should have put "curried" away in the subs. lol.

best dev interview EVAR!!!!

[TheExecutive]

i loved the demo and this score is about what i would give this game. Now on to Fat Princess!

[chaosatom]

pretty unique.

[SL1M DADDY]

Seems like a decent download.

[name]

I really think I need to play that demo again. I tried it for about 2 minutes and stopped playing it because I was confused. I really trust IGN so I think I need to see if I maybe missed something.

[chaosatom]

Avoid monsters and look for people using x-ray vision.

[Drekken]

Name, it took me a minute to figure it out... once you get it figured out its pretty addicting. I love the people screaming too... I was cracking up

[ape007]

another awesome arcade game

I just want duke nukem 3d on xbla

psn and xbla both rocks

[Stinkinmushroom]

I'll buy it

[heyheyhey]

cool, i shall give it a DL

so much great content coming through for the PSN... thanks Sony

[Leafs117]

but the name of it is horrible XD

[theusedfake]

lol, i kinda like it ;)

[Leafs117]

i said i like the game, i have it for my ps3...just that title is horribly unimaginative and doesn't pull you in. God, fanboys are so defensive these days.

[heyheyhey]

i guess your right.... but simplicity in game-naming can often be catchy and appropriate

i think it works rather well- can you think of a better name for it?

PLAYSTATION®3規格ソフトウェアのゲー ム 中にXMB™

[Dyingduck]

Infinite Undiscovery 7/10 (So, where is your King now XBOTS???)

The Last Guy 9/10 (A Freaking PSN Game...reviewed by reliable IGN, too)

[blackbeld]

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PLAYSTATION. 360 fans now finaly shut up cause they got they're RROD and now are crying can not play any game until it fixed

[slave2Dcontroller]

this game and it aint no damn 9. I love my PS3 and all but I aint about to lie. This game is just ok.

[TheExecutive]

yeah well i would give it a 9, whatcha gotta say about that?

EDIT:

No way, this is a great arcade game and worthy of a 9.

[slave2Dcontroller]

to TheExecutive- Stop it. This game aint no damn 9. The best part about is the game is the First Guy who announces the tiltle for "The... Last... Guy ".

It made me LOL

[Drekken]

Its a 9 in PSN/Arcade games. You cant look at the 9 like it is a full blown game. Its very unique and deserving of a 9 for its category.

[TheColbertinator]

I thought this game was gonna be ok,but IGN thinks its a AAA game.That is surprising.

[dro]

lol..the game made me laugh when i played the demo,what the hell were they saying!!!! its a fun/funny game but its not my type of game. im not suprised it got 9/10...it made me laugh when i was playing it.

[DA_SHREDDER]

All I can say is,, wow.

[NewSchoolGamer]

but true.

[Relcom]

so i think i'll get this

[OhMyGandhi]

demo got to me, I can see how people CAN like it, But yeah, it's not my cup of tea. Great quality though, graphics were nice!
a nice addition to PSN, indeed.

[ActionBastard]

Great game. The demo sold me and now this review has too. Can't wait.

[Homicide]

Another AAA title for the PS3.

[IzKyD1331]

cool, but Im surprised they rate this a 9/10 but they gave super stardust HD only an 8.8/10

nevertheless, I played the demo, an it was pretty fun

[GUNSOFTHEPATRIOTS]

i really enjoyed the demo haha very funny!

but the best part of this game is that this psn game scored better than too human hahahahahahahahahahahaha

bubles plz :D

[divideby0]

enjoyed it..didnt go bonkers over it...price and amount of levels I have to check out..I can see this being DLC bountiful at the expense of us gamers

[GUNSOFTHEPATRIOTS]

so i did understand what the guy said when he said the last guy in hindi haha!

[VMAN_01]

I really enjoyed the demo fresh and original!

[Figboy]

but i'm not sure if i want to buy it. at least not yet. there are too many console and network games hitting vying for my dollars and gaming time.

i at least recommend the demo for those that have yet to try it out.

[slave2Dcontroller]

then IGN better give Wipeout HD a 20!

[PimpHandStrong]

still havent played it

my buddy tried it and liked it

i need to give it a go

sounds good thou

[pwnsause]

Infinite Undiscovery 7/10

The Last Guy 9/10

Pwned by a Small PSN game.

[StrikingDmc4]

Braid =O a 9.5/10 what do you say about that?

[silverchode]

mgs4 10/10.

[AIi_The_Brit]

Only On The Playstation 3

[heyheyhey]

screw Castle Crashers....... the PSN delivers the real gems

can't wait for Fat Princess and WipeOut HD among many others

[StrikingDmc4]

Fat princess stupid fanboys

[Old Snake]

Tried the demo and hated it, Couldn't grasp the concept

[juuken]

Whoo-hoooooooooooooooooooo!

Now I have to try the demo *and* get the game!

PSN cards, here I come! :D

[clintos59]

Gotta tip your hat for sony bringing in alot of original new titles. Not really my type of game but I might just purchase this just to relax and goof around with this game. Other then that great review for a PSN title.

[Transformer]

hey strikingdmc4 I have to say Braid is coming to PSN and will be even better on the PS3.
PS3 more than meets the eye.

[Pika-pie]

This is what the PSN is all about. The PSN deffinatly has the most original content out there, lets keep em coming.

[DFresh]

I played the demo and I really like the concept but I couldn't see where I was going cuz everything is really small.
The character, hostages, and even the zombies all small I found it hard to play for that reason but if you like the game play it it's just not for me.
Personal Opinion.
Love Sony for their innovation and they keep it coming.
PS3 Rules!

[Jadedz]

:( "FAIL!"
