But if any of you out there were holding on to hope that Kick-Ass would be worthwhile PSN game, then I'm sorry to say that it falls into the usual category of poor movie-to-videogame tie-ins. The monotonous and unbalanced gameplay, glaring technical issues and short playtime do nothing to justify the $14.99 price tag."
Kick-Ass the movie styled in an undeniably Double Dragon-centric design. Everything from the way the enemies move, to the side-scrolling action screams classic side-scrolling beat ‘em up.
"Licensed games generally suck. It’s a fact, but at least most developers give the illusion of putting forth an effort to make something tolerable. Kick-Ass is a throwback to the 16-bit era, when all you needed were a few horribly digitized soundbites from actors and a recognizable image for the menu, and you had yourself a movie tie-in. At least Kick-Ass got the menu part right."
Kick-Ass for the PlayStation Network will be available tomorrow at a new, lower price to celebrate the movie's release on DVD and Blu-Ray.
