  • for a beat em up its pretty good, especially when playing with a friend

  • that owlman looks exactly like batman...at least owlman shoul have been given wings-like cape instead of a standard one,,,os is it batman? i read somewhere its an owldude

  • Nice game im gonna get this for Christmas

  • Fun game, but its much more repedative then Batman AA, Spiderman SD or X men origins so maybe a 6/10 or something?

  • The game was fun as hell. Fuck you IGN.

  • do not listen to this review it is a pile of shit

  • Does this game have online co-op?

  • this review is way off ...please do not base your choice of buying this game based on this .

  • did this guy forget that this is an arcade game? because hes comparing it to full big-budget games. if this was an actual game then it would've had a cool story varied enemies etc, but since its only like 10 bucks now really who gives a shit.

  • 1:03-1:07

    CoD

  • @gamerboy218 Yeah that's right CoD invented flares...

  • @SlipknotFanize :O

    No

    Way!

  • This is very cheap on Steam, for today only. £3.40 if youre in England :)

  • @thebluenipple 3.40 in america.

    cheaper here

  • They really thought people would want to play as Nite Owl? Should have went with the Comedian, or Dr. Manhattan. Even Silk Spectre--- hell, anyone, really.

  • Can u play Part 2 without having part 1? On Xbox Live part 1 cost 1600 and part 2 cost 1200 xD

  • hmm, might have gotten this if the comedian was a playable character :/

  • I hate Hillary Goldstein with a burning passion

  • WOW this looks so COOL seriously im getting this today

  • @darkiscoolz no no i havent Why does he have a moving face then

  • The graphic novel is amazing, I wish they would make a good game based on the graphic novel

  • It isent that bad for a cheap game..

  • Very boring game, good for simple minds though.

  • mindless beat em up. i guess cods a mindless Fps then...

  • the rosarch guy the guy wth the moving face hes awesome but the sentistvity is annoying

  • um, I played the game and it's pretty awesome

  • @CatAtomic99 Nigh is mor commonly known as the old English word meaning none

  • @FoltorInternational Actually, it's more like ''almost''. Like in Mass Effect when that crazy Batarian keeps saying that ''The end is nigh''.

  • IGN reviews are always disappointing and never give you the review the viewers deserve. there's too much personal opinion in their reviews. if you want to watch a decent review of this game, watch Gamespot's. it's a great looking game for a DLC. the beat 'em up style is more than just a 'mindless beat 'em up' - it takes some thought when playing it. it's not just button mashing. anybody who disapproves of this game are just expecting too much. there's no depth but there is a lot of fun to be had

  • @aidenmccloskey now what you just said right there is a way more accurate description of the game

  • @SheamusFan2010 thanks! i appreciate a reply like that.

  • @aidenmccloskey personal opinion? lol kid they are not zombies not to have a personal opinion and i want to hear that not some paind whore review=gamespot

    but ign aint that much better also,they are all whores,you pay and they say what you want

  • @TheSUBGAMER okay, kid - thanks for replying.

  • @aidenmccloskey you are welcome 

  • @aidenmccloskey you know top gear right,they only do the show on they're personal opinion,and now a days its the most popular tv show,now ign sort off have the same reviews as top gear well ign does games :D,but my point is if you like the game you dont need to listen to him :),he is talking on his personal views,but there are many people like him and they will agree with him,but you and mee dissagree,thats fine,but dont let it go to your system,ok mate ;)

  • @AlbanianGamers IGN doesn't tend to make the effort to reach out to their viewers. Gamespot's approach to reviewing is far superior. take Gamespot's review of this game for example. they said 'if you like fun games, you'll enjoy this - if you're looking for something more substantial, with more meaning - this isn't for you.' IGN just said it was crap, don't bother, the end - which is terrible reviewing. there was no angle or open mindedness.

  • @aidenmccloskey So basically, IGN workers SHOULDN'T have opinions, but rather just say what people want to hear? That's not a review, that's lying. IGN doesn't lie. Their reviews are genuine and opinionated, which is how a review should be done. They don't make you buy or not buy the game, they just tell you their opinion. Grow up and learn how to accept different opinions, or else it's gonna be a bumpy future for you, pal.

  • @SteelerEagleFan the lack of detail, the lack of open mindedness suffocated and ruined this review. everyone is entitled to their opinion - but if you're a professional reviewer, you have to give a lot more than just your opinion. if you review, you have to look at what you're reviewing from all angles, take into consideration the type of people who would appreciate/dislike the content of which you're reviewing - instead of bashing on the game because you dislike it. not everyone can review.

  • @aidenmccloskey Did you read the written review?

  • @aidenmccloskey dude its called beign a critic, thats the fucking point to give their opinion, and besides IGN doesnt sell out like Gamespot

  • @BrainBucket78 You clearly misunderstand where I'm coming from. Reviewers should look at it from different perspectives rather than giving a one dimensional opinion.

  • bad game, not worth playing, spend my money on something more substantial...

  • hahahahah his name is hilary

  • º_º

  • Hm...i like playing Rorschach.

  • I love playing this with my friend.

  • lol the book made no since what so ever WTF a octopus randomly lands on the city WTF IS THAT SHIT?

  • *Sigh.* Watchmen deserves so much better than this.

  • look i dont mean to affend anyone but god of war is kinda button mashing aswell if u think abot it

  • Why did they even bother to include Nite Owl as a playable character? Who wouldn't want to be Rorschach?

  • Why did they even bother to include Nite Owl as a playable character? Who the hell wouldn't want to be Rorschach

  • @A7XOwnsNoobs cuz the games not called rorshach its called watchmen

  • That game sucks, brings shame to the movie and the graphic novel.

  • LOOOOOOL, ALWAYS the Sexbox360.

  • This game fucking sucks only because you can't get achievements if you are the second controlling player in co-op. The game isn't worth it for the second player if he's playing with a friend.

  • On steam there stads "multiplayer", at the store page.

    But i cant play online !!!

  • It's a XBA game. It was ment to be quick and fun. You can beat it in a couple of hours. I fucking love Watchmen and I had fun beating the fuck out of people. I mean, if this was a real 60 dollar game, I'd be pissed. But it's not. It's worth 10 dollars. And I was satisfied.

  • @deeta000 What does XBA stand for? And yes these are types of games to just pick up or rent and beat, extra trophies/achievements. Just like Wanted:Weapons of Fate, 50 Cent:Blood on the Sand, and Dark Sector(Awsome game)

  • This game is alot better thn wht is bein said. Its a good beat em up but he is putting a classic beat em up next to a next gen. Nothing beats a classic Like SOR so I agree it is bttr then this hame but Watchmen is realistic in a sense with the combat.

  • why does his mask do this

  • @hussi434 read the novel....

  • haha, IGN just cooked that piece of of a game XD

  • Looks like they didnt pay you bitch, Nite Owl and Rorschach bet up peopleand of course there is one villian because most were killed by Rorschach

  • 1:27 "Greatest 20th century literary works"

    ...Now I remember why I hate IGN.

    They have no idea of what a good game and...apparently, what GOOD LITERARY WORKS means.

    Watchman sucks. The movie sucked, the game sucked, and...well as for "greatest 20th century literary works" goes...

    Eat a dick sunshine, I can write a better graphic novel in my sleep.

    Actually I have...:)

  • @KidMagnum listen on the back of watchmen it says one of TIME MAGAZINE's 100 best english language novels sinse 1923 so im guessing ign knows what the fuck they are talking about!!!

  • @d3ad4life THAT...or even Time Magazine has an idiot or two in their little group of people. Seriously, who even reads Time Magazine anymore...or cares about their lame opinions?

  • @KidMagnum the kind of people that care about good literature and the truthful opinions of things, instead of seeing some shit review, like this guy's for example. Why don't you actually read the text instead of reading the pictures, dude? It's people like you that make others believe that today's youth doesn't analyze things thoroughly and doesn't think twice about they're saying! The graphic novel was groundbreaking, the adaptation was good, and this game is an awesome beat-em-up.

    'Nuf said.

  • @supadude626 Well you just destroyed him

  • well it is a download.. not even a game just something you download off live so of coarse it wouldnt be all that.

  • 12quid on arcade? well worth it

  • Yea the gameplay is simple, but would you rather have this beat 'em up, or an overcomplexified "Sonic Unleashed" type beat 'em up? i think i'll stick with this game thank you very much.

  • true true

  • this is one of the best beat em ups!!!!

  • i love this game i guess its my guilty pleasure. co-op play is the best

  • They should make a game about the movie I loved it or about the novel

  • this game is SHIAAAT!!

  • For those who don't know, "nigh" is a Latin word, meaning, "kind of disappointing because the coolest character dies".

  • is that true? i dont know latin...so i would find it hard to believe a 4 letter word can mean a whole sentence lol...but im probably dumb and ur being sarcastic because i did see the movie..and yes both of the coolest characters do die

  • Nigh is not a Latin word it is a Old English word,Nigh is an older form of near. Near was originally the comparative form of nigh; the superlative form was next. Nigh is used today mostly in archaic, poetic, or regional contexts. i.e The end is nigh!

  • omg. never new that.

  • @CatAtomic99 lol

  • @CatAtomic99 LOL. yea, lets kill off dan

  • @CatAtomic99 Thank you for ruining it for me fuckface. Jk I dont care lol

  • @CatAtomic99 uuummmm...who dies? please send me a private meddage if its possible i don't wanna spoil the surprise to others (oh by th way tell who killed the character and how)

  • @CatAtomic99 that was a good joke you made 1 year ago

  • @CatAtomic99 OMG you are stupid!It means''close''!

  • @zekke321 It was a joke refferncing the book, are you stupid?

  • @CatAtomic99 spoiler

  • @CatAtomic99 no you tard.....its greek JK

  • Which relates to you being a cunt.

  • @CatAtomic99 *spoilers* Funny you should say that. Everybody loves him, because he's deep, and moody, and punishes the wicked absolutely, but Alan Moore actually hated the character. *More spoilers* (Which you should have included) He wrote him as an insane, disturbed, and utterly depressing sociopathic homeless man, with a shit childhood. He was trying to point out the stupidity of the thinking of dark heroes, like Batman and the Punisher. he was pointing out the insanity of that line of thouht

  • the demo is well worth it

  • Reviewer is a retard.

  • just cant seem to find a prince who knows his way around a womans body.

  • This game was awesome! It was brutal, fun and the fighting never got boring. The story wasn't great but the levels were great and the enemies were actually difficult.

  • Not hard for the average gamer :P

  • @fiercefun The story is the only good thing about it

  • Of course the graphics novel is better! That doesn't mean to say that you shouldn't buy this game, it still looks awesome. Why do IGN keep having a go at great games?

  • im sorry, I know what you mean but, I've downloaded this game and the guy's right its REALLY repetitive and really short, they shuda gave it more originality, don't bother getting it (unless you already have) its a major waste of time and money, like the guy said, I'd rather buy the comic.

  • Because they arn't great? And IGN don't want you to waste money and time on a terrible game.

    Standard mindless beat-em up. Go with Street Fighter, at least that has style.

  • I know, I had a lot of fun witht his game. You should get it.

  • They do.. dont they!! gets me annoyed!!

  • I am still anticipating the day reviewers finally treat video-games as art.

    TEIN might be mindless and repetitive, but they should note the atmosphere and generally rage-provoking gamestyle.

  • they would if people gave a shit about that!!!

  • Which they clearly do, seeing as we have art, movie and music criticism.

    But people like you are keeping gaming an infant medium.

  • why would you buy a game just for the wat it looks and i guess you meant as the time the developers put into it. sure that is important but in buying a game not a painting.

  • Feel can be just as important as fun.

    I suggest you read the blog entitled "Brainy Gamer."

  • @smbtjb123 Thats what i think, yet everyone seems to love the Uncharted games =/

  • I want to get this game but they want too much for it.. what is everyone talking about themovie sucking! Watchmen is probably the greatest super hero movie ive ever seen, just because it is realistic doesnt mean it sucks.

  • i liked the game very much i played part two it was way too short only 3 chapters but it was awesome. and the movie is good to !

  • Cos, your meant to get both parts. LMAO

  • its on blu ray now...the game part 1 and 2 come with the directors cut blu ray movie..50 bucks..3.25 min movie and the game...its worth it

  • @monkfromthewest I know, right? Just cuz something isn't like pussy ass spiderman doesn't mean it's a horrible movie. People just have no decent taste anymore

  • @supadude626 man, watchmen took super heros into a hole new place, same with kick ass

  • @tk5800 I know! At first seeing it, I kinda shunned it since I was stuck on the whole "Happy Ending Spiderman" thing, but after reading the comics I thought it was one of the best superhero movies of all time and that it realistically depicted how heroes would be looked on in real life. Same goes for Kick-ass. Didn't see the movie or read the comics but I got the jist of it pretty much.

  • i didnt like the price and i hated the movie but i love this game its fun although i wish it had been cheaper and longer but i still had fun

  • I got chapters 1 and 2 for free. On disk, I mean. At that price, it's a pretty fun game.

  • the game is cool, dont know what his problem is. How many comics get games based on them? What's the big deal?

  • my man is high haha

  • I never played the game yet but the movie was awesome

  • I don't for a second believe you downloaded the game if you thought the movie was so bad, but if you did then you're little smokie is shit out of luck far as convincing anyone, since everyone now knows just how stupid you are.

  • That guy actually got paid for this review? You expect a game based on vigilates to be puzzler or something? Of course it's going to be a beat-'em-up. What do you think Rorschach spends his time doing? Discussing metaphors of The Black Freighter over tea?

  • @ArashiTempest It could have at least incorporated some sort of "detective" elements ala "Condemned" and "Condemned 2". Maybe even some Bioware-style text tree conversations.

  • @ArashiTempest "You expect a game based on vigilantes to be a puzzler or something"

    What do you think Arkham Asylum is?

  • @ArashiTempest Also stealth and investigation lends itself more to Rorschach then simply beating up stock enemies.

  • @ArashiTempest

    It's not that, it's just that the beat um up is crappy.

  • @ArashiTempest LOLZ

  • this game defeats the whole message and purpose of the Watchmen. they fucked up by making it a game unless they have more shit in here thats going to blow your mind. it seems to be a game generated to make more money. but the real message lies in the movie and comic. simply mind blowing if you really read into what they talk about.

  • IGN is the most unreliable source I have ever seen.

    Their "reviewers" are about as competent as Irate Gamer. Hell, Irate Gamer is Roger Ebert compared to these tools.

    The only thing mindless is this reviewer.

  • there should be a watchmen game made by the arkham asylum guys... i imagine they could do it justice

  • will fans of the book like this game? Is it worth a $7 rental?

  • yeah the movie's ok but towards the end it just get a bit errrrr iffy.

  • Yeah, IGN is so literate it gives 9.0 to every generic shooter if it was advertised enough but when it comes to a good beatemup it isnt intellegent enoguh and can't be compared to its original. Thats ridicilous.

  • In the whole video here, the IGN reviewer didn't even managed to land ONE combo. It would show the sequence of the combo if it did - didn't saw any of them. Only a "B" finisher.

    So no wondering if they gave it a low score. Its like giving a book to an illiterate - they would throw it away.

  • Your really right, but when making fun of someones intelligence try not to make spelling mistakes lol.

    Peace.

  • his could be so much better, considerating the level of the comic book

  • FART

  • Only bad things in this game are 1) it is pretty small - i finished it in 3 hours 2) it is pretty easy - i finished it without learning all the combos properly. Otherwise it's a great fun game. And it has a very nice lockpicking minigame also.

  • It isn't "small", it's "short."

  • im just wondering if the film is any good dont really care about crappy money pumper games. so could anyone reply back and tell me if the film is any good pleaze thanks

  • The movie is very good actually, it sticks pretty close to the graphic novel! Seriously, it a must-watch if u r a fan of the comics!

  • average worth a watch just becoz of the actor who plays rosarch

  • You are a stupid person who cant spell for shit. The film and comic were pure genius and your small unused mind is too pathetic too understand the genius the film and movie have to offer

  • there were so many mixed opinions of the movie but it really was a fucking great movie. a lot of ppl had a bitch about it because they hadn't read the graphic novel so they were expecting some crazy action-packed style-over-substance superhero movie. it is SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!!! but yea, it's DEFINITELY a must-see for u to form ur own opinion lol

  • this game is awesome

  • yes it is a mindless beat em up but its fun to step away from very complex games to play simple ones. repetitive? oh hell yes but its fun none the less

  • im a watchmen fan, and i LOVE this game its fun killing people as night owl or rorchrat! :D

  • So many Dee dee dee's (retards) commenting on this video.

  • i agree, but to convert the movie to a game you have to ask yourself, what else would you do?

  • I do agree on IGN statement in the end "Save the 20 bucks from buying the game and buy the comicbook". Smart man. No seriously, buy the comicbook!

  • i like end is nigh beacause its co-op, and its somewhat fun. and yes BUY THE BOOK. its like the best comic book of all time. i bought both and im completly satisfied.

  • You know what, fuck IGN. There, I said it. We were all thinking it, so there it is.

  • wait so its on disc for XBox360 and it says on the cover partes 1 and 2 is that the whole game?

  • Wow. These people at IGN have no clue what they're talking about.

    I absolutely loved and cherished the graphic novel, and the movie. And the game looks incredible, just bought parts 1 & 2 from Amazon on Xbox 360.

    I don't expect it to be perfect, but I expect it to be awesome.

  • its ok...i got the demo of xbox live...its just a beat em up but its fun just to beat ppl with Roschach

  • I love the simpleness of the game, i really enjoyed it. Sure the missions get repetitive, but i never once got bored with watching Rorschach take downs, those were hilariously satisfying. I even bought the Xbox 360 bundle earlier today. People may say its 5/10, i give it an 8/10, just one of those games where you bring a friend over and let your troubles away with the same awesome combos. Go ahead and hate me, i really like this game.

  • yea i agree with u man, this game is cool, i downloaded it, plus i love the movie and im sure as hell gonna love the game

  • this game isnt bad but it is better then what they say it is u should get either the 360 bundle or ps3 one cause that is worth it but the second game is too short

  • IGN's Reviews are crap.

    They just state the obvious.

    Not to mention, they always have negative things to say.

  • if you liked the movie (or read the book and liked the movie) then check this out. its repetative sure, but its a good stress reliever. and Rorschach's specials are fun to watch.

    point and case if you liked the movie then the ps3 version of this has it included (box game) if you hated teh movie or treat the book like an act of god then look away.

  • Ign Always Got Something Negetive to say about a good game

  • Seriously dude, they bitch for ANYTHING.

  • Yeh you right they do

  • I like it.

  • looks like a cool side scrolling brawler nice to see this kind of games back again :-)

  • It isnt a side scroller :(

  • It's not a side scroller. what gave you that idea?

  • Dee dee dee

  • wait till july 21 u get both parts for 30 dollars so u save like 10 bucks im getting it
