Worst Game of the Year?
"The bullet points inside the front flap of Instinct's retail box convey notions of game features and such with a particularly heinous level of dishonesty. Therefore, the majority of this review will focus on refuting the fallacious blurbs while explaining why playing this first-person shooter is comparable to yanking back on a hangnail.
. . .
Unless you desperately need a reminder of how unfulfilling a game experience can be, don't touch this one."
Presentation: 1.5
Graphics: 2.0
Sound: 3.0
Gameplay: 2.0
Lasting Appeal: 0.5
Overall: 1.7 out of 10 - Abysmal
Instinct received an "abysmal" 1.7 out of 10 from IGN. Now GameSpot gives a "terrible" 2.0 out of 10 to the same game and writes:
"Terrible AI and indecipherable dialogue are just two of the many problems afflicting this zombie shooter."
The Good:
+ Some spooky music at times.
The Bad
- Confusing storytelling due to time-shifting cutscenes and Russian dialogue
- Dumb AI and positioning makes it seem like enemies want you to kill them
- Repetitive, dull level design.
GameSpot Score: 2.0 (out of 10) Terrible
The Good:
+ Some spooky music at times.
I have a feeling this accounted for 1.8 out of the 2.0, The other .2 came from the time they put in to create the game. Oh, well without turds like this one you could never appreciate the mediocre games.
Can't be the worst game of the year...

Just wonderin
Wow, that "Call for Heroes: Pompolic Wars" (Biggest candidate for WGOTY) has better Presentation and more Lasting Appeal!
These games are indeed among the worst. How dishonest can game features behind the box be. ""Witness vivid imagery so intense and realistic that you'll find yourself wrapped up in it - until you're sucked right into the next firefight."
This one seriously made me laugh:
"Voices throughout Instinct are in the original Russian in an effort to showcase their culture and to maintain the true feel of the game."
They were so lazy that did not record English voices and are calling it a great feature to find about Russian culture in an underground base with zombies!
Hope the developers don't visit IGN any time soon.lol
I just looked at some of the images. It doesnt look THAT bad to be fair
