SVGR: The Crow, City of Angels Review (Sega Saturn)

[attilathehun0]

Yikes Itchy & Scratchy and Evil Dead bad controls. Dude ofcourse the graphics sux 90's 3d and definitley not hi def nice projecter but it does not enhance clarity for the SS.

[pangodwangojones]

got to the next level and got beaten up by some random fuck

waste whole summer of 98 i think it was

this ,tomb raider , and die hard trilogy oh and dark saviour

die hard trilogy think it was the first game i played in over 8 hours

hmm the taxi chapter only

[pangodwangojones]

3:but they are not on sight cause of the stupid camera(they really placed

the camera in the worst positions possible)

4:so u crouch because the ai doesnt shoot in crouch position

5:but u cant move when in crouch position

6:and the enemies never stop shooting at u

i played the bar like 100 times because when u last like three times it took u back to the start think i beat the ship one time thats it ONE FUCKIN TIME

[pangodwangojones]

god havent played this game in over 12 years or something

i remember seeing city of angles i was like 10 or something

and thinking whoa its awesome so i got the game for saturn

it looked kick ass and i was so excited

the gameplay was the worst piece of shit i ve ever played in my life

THE CASUAL SITUATION after the bar scene

was like:

1:ok u have no ammo(ammo in this game is like gold pretty much)

2:there are enemies that have ammo(and i think unlimited)

[Arzaker]

3:46 and thats why chuck norris always wins

[Gambit7Beyond]

a game based on a film based on a comic

[teddyrubskin]

so wait... were you breaking out in crow?

[GermanGameRoom]

oh damn it!

I just ordered this game yesterday!

xD

[MrDeathRider18]

I remember playing this one on the PS1 one back in the day. Really wanted to love it, as I was big on beat'em-ups at the time... But there's no love to be had here.

[PerryMartinGreen420]

theres a bazooka behind the pool table btw

[evangelian007]

Thank God I didn't played this game. It looks truly awful.

BTW Did you ever tought of doing the Xaoling showdown awards yearly like the Oscars or Razzies? I would love to see categories like worst story,worst music,worst controls,worst protagonist etc.

[Supertomiman]

is that the movie in which bruce lee's son died while making it?

[Arzaker]

@Supertomiman

yeap

well the first film is

[Minhist]

City Of Angels(movie) wasn't too bad. Misunderstood. The quality of the script was the same as that of the first one but only wished the actors were better in the second.

[DaNnY92506]

dude u sound frekin pissed off the whole video..........anyways nice review for a horrible game

[TheEgotasticRipoff]

The game is great...for fail ;-)

[guitarriff1988]

This game play is just like "Spawn the eternal" for the PS1 so far as horrible difficult controls and the fighting techniques.

[SSGazem]

wish u did more reviews man i like it and the crow was a amazing film im a proud owner of a lot of crow stuff yet im glad i dont own this piece of shit and crow 3 along crow 4 and crow 5 suxed as well

[bradf95]

This game was so horrible. The film wasn't much better either. Nothing will ever live up to the original Crow with Brandon Lee.

[warriorofwrestling]

Can you/have you reviewed the first 50 Cent game (Bulletproof, I think it was called)? Worst camera, of any game, EVAR! You'd literally end up running in circles because of the camera, or have some guy shooting at you just off-screen and a hell of a job bringing him into view so you can retaliate. Unfuckingbeleivable. I don't know which sick bastards were responsible for these games, but they have the potential to turn the most mild-mannered gent into the angry German gamer kid

[warriorofwrestling]

Batman and Robin on the Mega Drive was pretty bad, too. I never got past the first level-all you ever did was bash the punch button as a shitload of clowns ran at you, turn round, do the same, turn round, do the same again. You couldn't move along the screen without more of the fuckers coming at you-it was CONSTANT.

[CustardGanet]

I remember renting this game out years back,Without a doubt one of the worst,if not the worst game i have ever had the misfortune of playing.Im sure there are worse games out there but i have managed to avoid them so far,but this........ never again.

[1011saint]

hey swag what the name of the song at 5:32

[1011saint]

lol your badass and funny

[MoonLitStare]

knowing hollywood nowadays, there will probably be an uneeded remake of the film... Which means another film to video game adaption

[REDXWOLF13]

omg yeah probably one of the worst games ever, i mean i dont think anything could compare to it. movie wise, i did actually enjoy city of angels, and im not going to say its better than the first, but hey. it sure beats the 4th one!

[xPoNyxMoDzx]

the sequel wasnt that bad yes, it did not meet expectations but look at the further sequels they are terrible.

[72Oswald]

Damn. This game looks super shitty. Why didnt they make a game of the first crow. The first crow was better than City Of Angels by a longshot.

[1011saint]

this game is a fucking plague

[StallionHeart11211]

At 7:58 that badguy is wearing a Red Ring Of Death T-Shirt.

[manikmista665plus1]

This was a colossal piece of shit!!!

[DreamFactory91]

It's like Resident Evil, the camera angles.

[MrSFblack]

it sucks they only put out one game for the crow series.everyone loves the first movie,the second wasnt that good but it still beats the hell outta those other two crappy sequals n that mediocre tv show lol.

i think there should be more video games for the crow,who's wit me?

[MrSFblack]

yes this video game sucked ass,not jus for the graphics cuz ppl were jus gettin into 3d graphics then.the overall gameplay n control was jus terrible,they need to make a crow game thats actually good.

[juliuswhiteman]

why can't swag do all his reviews with the crow look... it suites him

[dantex2x]

Nice review:)

[XJVHS]

The controls for movement resembles to Capcoms Dino Crisis 1&2 and Resident Evil 1,2 and 3. You have to do the movement in the same way like in this game.

[1SpeedDean]

i'm going to agree, this game makes my eyes hurt! i wouldn't play it to save my life!

[Skerd100]

This game is causing me to have nausea... I don't really what to know what would happen if i played this game.

[mickaka]

Games like this did nothing for the Saturn's already well tarnished reputation, dogshit of the worst kind.

[warriorCI09]

I don't what was worse, The Movie OR The Game !, that's a tough question

[sistrsR4evr]

after all these years someone should do better and with the ORIGINAL Crow movie. PLEASE!

[BillyCauseyjr]

@sistrsR4evr it would work better if it was based off the graphic novel.

the murderous pschopath Eric from the book would work better in a game rather than the more emotional and surreal movie version.

[tamura808]

wow i never knew there was a game of the crow till now. looks aweful. lmao at the end. "my face is itchin', maybe i'm getting a rash, hold on i gotta go look in the mirror, HAH!!!" good review.

[Culbjay]

@tamura808 we can clearly here it in the vid dipshit u dont have to repeat it in text asshole

[myboobtoob]

do you think the movies that came after city of angels (the crow: salvation and the crow: wicked prayer) would have been good if they were made into video games?

[QD53]

This game looks god awful, great review swag.

[bloodpressurenotgood]

hehe. listen to that bgm. bm bm bm bm bm bm bm bm... hahaha

[GearsX]

Did you super glue those disks to that board?

[painlessissuicide]

when are we gonna find out what the worst movie you ever saw was?

[SWAGshow]

Oh man, I think I blocked that one out of my mind. I'll get around to it early next year, I'm just dreading that I actually have to watch it again.

[painlessissuicide]

what the hell... I posted that comment under your review of "Strange Wilderness"... why did it show up here?

[TheAccountSecond77]

Acclaim's awsome man!

[TheAccountSecond77]

Ya kiddin? Da music's awsome!

[TheAccountSecond77]

It was #1 in the box office though. look it up on wikipedia

[thecrowfanatic89]

Nice crow make up SWAG

i play this game when i was kid.

and tho it was me who suck

now i know better but to fair the crow city of angels.

was not a movie it was ok

i mean did you see the other movies?.

[dudiduman1]

your a laizy guy how much can you wait for you to make a video come on make at least one a week

[myboobtoob]

one of the things you forgot to point out is why isn't the crow wearing the leather coat, thats the one error I noticed. :P

[DonDiego1973]

Man, do I like watching your reviews, even if I don't care for the subject. It's such a breath of fresh air around here: funny, yet not overconscientiously so, intelligent, but not in a "and here's why everyone who disagrees with me is a fucking moron" kind of way, highly entertaining and informative, and when you bash a game, you actually don't use it just as an excuse to try and use more "fuck"s than the competition. That's a fucking welcome change ;-)

[SWAGshow]

Thanks dude, glad you like my approach to reviews.

[TheAngelmisa]

whoa this game sucks.

[nonno418]

scarface the game was a good life movie based game:)

[MrVideomaniak23]

hey SWAG i have a small reguest since you love both games and comix books can you please do the 2 devilmaycry comix books a reveiw? in case you dont know devil may cry is a action/hack and slash that revoluntinized the genre, so will you do a review?

[ACANDEJORE]

At last, a video of this game!! Thank you man, very good review!

[hargcore]

great review, shitty game!

[Arppis]

This game... It's painful to watch too. XD

[FreDaN92]

Awsome intro!

[captainsparxxx]

Man SWAG Crow City of Angels was a good sequel.

[myboobtoob]

it was, but i don't think any sequel to the crow will be able to match the charm of the original.

[Jegudiel29ZX]

this game reminds me of Spawn:The Eternal for the PS1

[FINbrutal1ty]

So this game is basically a Resident Evil clone with with punches and kicks. The game reminds me of Mortal Kombat Special Forces, but I haven't played it so I don't know how that game plays, but has anyone played Onimusha 2? I have some sort of image in my brain that it uses the same kind of controlls, but with much better results, HOWEVER I haven't played this one ether, but I do own it (just haven't played it yet).

4:58 Wait, that's not Crow, that's the wrestler STING.

[HalfBlindGamer]

Haha awesome man, and they say I review crappy games :P

Did you actually end up finishing the game?

[SWAGshow]

There is a password to go straight to the last boss, I tried it once and lost. I probably could have beat him if I kept going if I tried a few more times but I figured, what's the point?!?

[matrixlone]

thanx for the review did you do one for countdown vampires and martain gothic

[evilmonkeyg1]

Is it sad I have this game?

[SWAGshow]

Yes :D

[evilmonkeyg1]

._. ....... oh well, my ps1 wouldn't be complete without it.... yes they ported it there too. That's a sign that they expected this game to sell even a little.

[Darkony]

@evilmonkeyg1

Nope. Cause The Crow ROX !

[stafax]

I own this game for playstation, and I only played it once for like 10 minutes. It takes what I hate about the resident evil series (tank controls and camera) but made them even worse. They especially don't work due to close combat. The crows popping up on the floor make no sense. And it's funny how the back of the case says "3-D fighting with a Vengeance", is it vengeance toward me by giving me a bad experience?

[ZionKraze]

It's Alice Cooper!

[Minifisen]

nice screm at the end :P

[cycaster77]

that's not how it's pronouned!

[olegros]

thanks for making my morning awesome :D

great review,awesome movie,shitty game

and have a great halloween

[g8282]

nice vid swag been awhile since i've heard the theme song

[daflikjac]

who is the little girl howling at the end hahaha.

[SWAGshow]

heh, that was me.

[daflikjac]

awkward

[Ze0do0Gas]

At last a game that wins for the first time the xiaolin showdown award!!

[TG5455]

Worst beat 'em up game ever...Why did Acclaim made this shitty game?

[ReviewTechUSA]

holy crap....that game does look bad!

[xxej67xx]

Nice review SWAG, went along well and nice touch with the Left 4 Dead shirt because it's Halloween.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

You know when it came out on VHS in the UK, there was a type-o on the box, so the movie was called "The Crow: City of Angles" :D

[SWAGshow]

Okay, do you really know this stuff or do you look up info before you post it?

[WarhawkLegend69]

what the hellllllllllllll

[deshadow52]

Hey swag, great review and a great halloween episode. personally i'm just sitting at home playing castlevania on the nes. not doing too good, level 3,5 and 6 really get on my nerves. Happy Halloween :)

[RapperJJJ]

Great Review SWAG, Loved the ending. Also I thought you were going to bring out the Xiaolin Showdown Award for this game. Keep up the good work.

[MaximumRD]

LOL! I was not aware of this game, maybe that is a good thing? Too bad The Crow could have been a great license for a game. I wonder if there are Action Replay codes for it lol?

[SWAGshow]

Yeah, I found it used in a random game store years ago, and I had never heard of it prior to that instance either. And Yes, The Crow could have been a great video game, even if was a 2-D beat-em-up like Final Fight or The Simpsons.

[reviewmaster007]

Awesome review SWAG! Happy and save halloween =)

[TravelJoe2010]

"He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard..." Just kidding lol!

[SWAGshow]

the angriest gamer without droppin the F-bomb every minute.

[TravelJoe2010]

That's true lol.

[Quakeman224]

Its like Resident Evil gone wrong.

[grapesvine]

Good job Swag!

[Gameking53]

Happy Halloween SWAG! :)

[RRPGReviews]

If you ask me, the game is trying the pre-rendered realistic backgrounds that the old Resident Evil games offer, but this game just does not work, properly.

[genkitaiash]

ive got swag in one tab and irate gamer in another isn't technology great

[flakelorenz02]

He looks like Tim Curry from the Rocky Horror Picture show

[ShadowPhoenix142]

I can't believe they used Resident Evil static camera angles for a BEAT EM UP! That's just rediculous! Main rule of Beat Em Ups, if its 2d, you go side to side. Maybe with some ability to move up and down too (IE...like every side scrolling beat em up ever). If its 3-D, DON'T MAKE IT SUCK!

[rodog818]

this was one sexy review. I love it!

It's even sexier than the one on Castlevania!

[Doyledeth]

Great review on a crappy game!
