Rating: - Not even for $5.
I got this for $5 brand new. It is not good. The controls are not intuitive at all. Setup is odd. The graphics are fantastic. I read good reviews of this and boy, what a letdown.
Rating: - For $4 you can't go wrong
This game very well may be the least expensive xbox game known to man. I stuck with this game til the end and found it to be quiet challenging--so much so that I was determined to finish it. Most of the game (& all of the challenge) occurs when you are flying around in your custom-built spaceship. The air to air combats are the crux of the game and quite challenging. The controls took a bit getting used to especially when you have timed races which must be won to move on. This is obviously not the best xbox game ever made. It does have great graphics and the areas are expansive. As other reviews mention, there is a child-like quality to the characters which does distract from the value of the game, but c'mon, for $4 you can't go wrong!
Rating: - Awsome adventure!
I bought this game thinking it would be little bit less fun. I was wrong! It has a cool story line and awsome graphics. This game will keep you laughing all the way through. If your a gamer you need this game!
Rating: - good game if you're 6
I rented this game cause all the online game sites describe it as "GTA with robots"
It's more like GTA for little kids. The graphics were ok for like three minutes and then its not impressive anymore. The voice overs were rediculous, I mean its like watching some futuristic sesame street. The gameplay was just pointless. They tried being really imaginative but its just stupid in the end and has no redeeming value. "Take one of my CRRRrrazy bets!! I'm the CRRRrrraZZZY gambler!"
Give me a break.
Rating: - who greenlighted this???
Scrapland is a really bad game. I just can't find any reason to keep it, not even as a frisby. I wanna go on record as saying that after buying this game, I will never buy another xbox game that gets released under $40.
I'm really excited for splinter cell chaos theory and reserved my copy. To pass the time I figured I'd buy something to hold me over. I saw scrapland and the cover art looked pretty interesting.
The graphics look fine when you're playing and the sound is cool but the lines are just stupid and make you feel like a little kid playing a children's game. I consider myself a hardcore gamer-Scrapland is just not a gamer's game. It's something for the kids. childlike characters, and just really pointless. I can't believe every website keeps saying this is like grand theft auto.
Turning into different characters gets old after five minutes and the missions are really pointless. Its like they didn't even try when they were designing this. And ok, you can get ships and customize them but they either suck really bad or they overkill evrything you come across. Every aspect of this friendly game seems like its designed for kids. But the weird thign is that its got mature themes like watching some organic creature beat some robot to death and break its neck or when they turn this one robot into a sex icon.
Scrapland just isn't any fun for real gamers, its a good choice for kids or people who get offended by violence and language. Looking back at this purchase, I remember the cashier at the store giving me this weird look when I said I'd take a copy, now I know why. Plus, when I went to return it for store credit on a real game: Need for Speed, the same cashier was there and I felt embarassed just having Scrapland on me. I guess I sort of redeemed my name as a gamer by returning it for a real game.
To sum it up, this is a good game for preteens cause its childish enough for them but its also got just a bit of maturity(even though you can hardly sense it)
You'll either love it or hate it.
- Not even for $5.
- For $4 you can't go wrong
- Awsome adventure!
