IGN Reviews Go! Sports Ski 2.1/10

First there was Super Rub-a-Dub, the drain-swirling rubber ducky simulator that many had guessed would likely remain the PS3's worst game throughout most, if not all, of its lifespan. Then came Championship Sprint, a shoddy port of an arcade game that managed to barely nudge out Super Rub-a-Dub for the worst game on the system. Once again, IGN didn't think it could get any worse. But then along came Go! Sports Ski.

The game is priced at $2.99 USD and CND. Read on for the full review...

because my girl and kids love
Super Rub-a-Dub

ISay6051d ago

my sisters kids love rub a dub, and calling all car, and feeding frenzy for 360 im so tired of reviewers not taking into account what your getting for the money and who the target audience is, this is why games get a bad rap if your not shooting or kill ing something apparently its not worth any ones time

xplosneer6051d ago

I understand whining about controlls BUT IT'S FREAKING $2.99 AT $2.99 YOU CAN NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF CONTENT PERIOD.

Rama262856051d ago

Exactly, so $2.99 is 20th of the cost of a full production game so you'd expect it to have around 20 times as less content?

This review hasn't taken the cost into contention at all.

Douchebaggery6051d ago

it seem to me like another case of hate it or love it

Thank God I didn't pay for this one (Not like I wanted it anyways). Some sucker I know bought it and it really is all that and a bag of ass.

Sorry if you disagree, I reserve the right that this is my opinion. I thought even for 3 bucks, the point is, you're still screwed out of three bucks that could pay for half of a good game like Everyday Shooter.

wil4hire6051d ago

Thought the game looked neat. Bought it, my gf and I are having fun with it. Same as Rub-A-Dub..

The CHEAP PSN games are like the sci-fi channel. They are all just cheesy fun games. Cant wait for the bowling. No idea why these are even rated.. not like someone is sitting on the fence waiting for a review to spend 3 dollars.

Idmpc6051d ago

I agree with you. I never cared about reviews, I'm my own reviewer, but reviewing a $2.99 game is simply stupid. Wonder if they're reviewing games like minesweeper too?

sonarus6051d ago

i had 3 bucks in ma wallet and bought it. And i gotta say it wasnt that bad. Motion controls don't suck and its jst a simple game. I mean its a game bout skiing. You wont love it and its definetly more of a casual game but at 3 bucks it really aint dat bad. Wat more can you expect for 3 bucks. if you have money in ur wallet go for it but aint worth putting money in ur wallet 2 get it.

Go! Sports Skydiving - Review

One of the first reviews for the latest PSN downloadable title is out. See if the game is worthy of the original content that the Sony Playstation Store is becoming known for.

I've seen a number of vids of the gameplay and for $5, it's really no gamble. I liked what I saw and I'll definitly get it.

Hell, I keep losing $5 in change from my pockets week damned day so I might as well do something usefull with my $5 that I do manage to not lose :P

marinelife95924d ago

I was going to get it until he said the game pulls your parachute automatically if you decide not to.

Karebear5924d ago

Take skydiving... then add swords... yes I can see it now.
High speed fly bys slashing with katanas attempting to sever ... well whatever.

The winner is the one who can walk away in the end by any means necessary.

I must be having a bad day lol.

DarkSniper5924d ago

Thankfully. Go! Sports Skydiving is a purchase that yields in low risk, high reward. If you buy it and like it, you're extremely happy with your purchase. If you dont like it, it's not like it breaks your wallet as the price is an affordable 5.00.

This is one of the many reasons why Dark Sniper prefers Playstation® Network over the massively inferior XBOX Live. On PSN, you are able to pay for you downloadable titles with a straightfoward currency system. Xbox live extorts money out of your wallet by forcing you to buy Microsoft points. More often than not, you will end up purchasing more points than you need for one game.

If it's one thing Microsoft are experts at, it's at being an elite extortionists.

GameSpot gives 4/10 to PS3's Go! Sports Ski

There's a dearth of snow sports games on the PlayStation 3, specifically skiing games. In fact, Go! Sports Ski, a small downloadable game available for the PlayStation 3 from Sony's PlayStation Network, is the only game in town at this point. Regardless, this so-called "skiing simulator" that's meant to show off the Sixaxis motion controls doesn't do enough--neither in quality nor in quantity--to fill that winter-sports void in a satisfactory manner.

If this came out for Wii, some people would probably blame Nintendo for being incompetent and letting a mediocre game through the filters and that the gaming world is doomed and it's all Nintendo's fault blah blah blah.

I'm not one of those people, so I'll just say that I don't care how bad this game is. At all. It doesn't affect my opinion on the PS3 or on Sony as a company in the slightest, and I am tremendously looking forward to some other PlayStation software in the future.

If anyone really feels strongly to the contrary... I'm not even going to bother insulting you. You're not worth it.

ruibing5997d ago

It's a cheap game that probably costs less than what most people have for lunch, so I think if you get as much enjoyment out of a burrito spaced out for a few years equals this game, you might want to just get and see whether its good.

I've read reviews of how some of the cheap PSN sixaxis and eyetoy titles aren't so great, but I found my parents, who have never played a game as far as I remember, and my gf loving them. You just can't tell how a game is from reviews.
