Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not as Good as XBox Version
There is really not a better way to explain it - this is the average shooter game. I'm sorry, but this is not as good as the XBOX version. It is fun for a while but there is a lot better video games to play. I liked the levels and the cutscenes were fantastics but it definitely award winning.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A mixed opinion
I'm a major fan of Hunter: The reckoning, I own a large number of books for it... I'm quite well knowledged in its other counterparts as well... Vampire and Werewolf.
When I played this game I had the urge to bang my head on the desk as I screamed 'Why!' It turned Hunter, an amazing game, into a side-scrolling beat-em-up game!
It crosses the White Wolf games over one another into things that would NOT happen in the World of Darkness (WOD is the signature world everything happens in in White Wolf books)
It took out all of the humanity issues of hunter, such as the fact OTHER PEOPLE do not see what Hunter's do. If you stake a vampire in public, a human will see you staking a normal person in the heart with a piece of wood... This includes cops, and the military. They dont just go gung ho through the streets as they did in this game. It also butchered the creeds, turning them into stats instead of opinions, and methods of the hunt. Hunter is not about superpowers and running though the streets with a melee weapon (Something VERY FEW hunters would train in, especially the Katana, Kama, axe and broadsword.) lobbing off limbs... Its about REAL PEOPLE faced with hunting the dead, and hiding from the cops for doing the right thing... Then theres the large ammount of bickering between the creeds on hunting methods... I also dislike God_45 being a playable character, he's less mysterious then... If you have the Hunter Corebook, see page 164.

As for gameplay, I... Enjoyed it, despite the abuse to the World of Darkness. It has wonderful graphics, and is quite fun with another person. I Also suggest you look into the Hunter books...


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - From the table to a console near you...
I've always been a fan of table top rpg's, and I must say that this is one franchise that was able to make the transformation from the table to a console with ease. The game is fun, and beautiful to look at, with a variety of characters to play. Though somewhat repetitive, it has more action than you could ever get in any other zombie game (COUGHresidentevilCOUGH) and plays more like a movie than any game I have ever come across. The monsters seem to keep coming, and the levels don't drag, nor are they too short. Wayward is a pseudo-sequel, but if you didn't play the first one, you will still understand and enjoy this one.

Don't get me wrong, the original game was great, but there are a few things I like better about this one, some of them seem to be disliked by others who have reviewed this game, and I will discuss those first:

1.)Limited ammo: No, there is no longer unlimited ammo for your default weapon, but you start with max at every level, and enemies drop lots of it, so stop crying.

2.)I love the fact that you have a home base in this one, where you go back to after every level, so instead of having random glyps of info in rediculous places, you have a computer that you can check for info about your enemies, or for clues on things you've picked up along the way. In your base, you have a map of the city where you pick the level you wanna do, an entertainment area where you can see easter eggs you've unlocked during levels (music and movie clips mainly), and a trophy room that allows you to enter codes after you beat the game depending on the trophies you've earned.

3.)The combos that your charater can pull off are more effective, smoother, and much longer than in the first game, making melee attacks better to use, and just plain cooler to look at (making up for the limited ammo no doubt).

4.)A lot of the objectives in the game are optional, and unlock different things like alternate costumes. Also, you can go back to the map and re-enter parts of the city (levels) you have already cleared, and each time it becomes more difficult, and secret objectives become available.

The petpieves that I have with this game (and they are very small) are with the people who make it. It annoys me that Wayward's predecessor is on every other system except PS2. Other than that, Wayward is only 2 player. A 4 player squad of Hunters would be much more enjoyable than just 2 because it would allow you to see all the characters at once, just like you would in a movie, or in real life (towns are attacked by undead hordes all the time in real life... right?)

All-in-All, its a great game, and now that its only 20 bucks you can afford to give it a chance. So if you like good graphics, zombies, or even hot asian chicks with guns o' plenty, kicking ass, while doing cart-wheels, go get it. If you don't... then somethings wrong with you.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good game, lots of action
Good games, lots of fun, more action than you can shake a stick at, and if you like zombies, and dark fantaxsy stuff like that, then this game will never get old.
