Joystiq:"There's something you need to know up front about Power Gig: Rise of the SixString -- something I wish I had known before I first got my hands on it: It will not, cannot teach you to play guitar. At its heart, it is a Guitar Hero or Rock Band clone; or, to be more precise, a Guitar Hero or Rock Band homunculus, as every single element of Power Gig -- gameplay, control, visuals, progression -- is merely a shoddily reproduced feature of its rhythm gaming predecessors."
GamingExcellence - Functioning guitar brings nothing to the table; poorly-designed interface; half the songs are locked away until you play the campaign mode; dull campaign mode.
PSX Extreme: We believe in celebrating the year's quality rather than laughing at the stinkers. And yet, we also understand the failures and near-misses and "what if...?" titles are often quite popular topics of discussion and so, as a prelude to our GotY extravaganza, we give you a few PSXE Dubious Distinction Awards.
2010 was the year we made contact with a lot of half-assed videogames. While there was much for gamers to celebrate over the past 12 months — and we here at Game|Life will be getting to that later — gamemakers also delivered an inordinate number of flops.
The following list isn't of the worst games of the year (such a list would be made up of Wii shovelware and movie games), but of the most disappointing titles, the ones that had great promise but fell way short.
OUCH!!
