 Fracture is a technical achievement, but is still a Gears of War rip-off in the long run.
Fracture is a technical achievement, but is still a Gears of War rip-off in the long run.
Fracture really isn't one of those games wewe need to finish to review. Sure, wewe might miss out on a vehicle section au two, but wewe still get the basic idea. After all, the game has an interesting, realistic, but dull story that never interests you. It has the most downright bizarre control scheme you've seen in years, and it has some glitches. (Although it is a technical achievement.)

The game starts out with the west breaking apart (literally) due to global warming. The Pacifican Union uses genetic modification to survive and the Atlantics of the surviving country use technology, mainly terrain deformation to get shade from the burning hot climates and to create makeshift forts. Well, the POTUS bans all genetic modification and the Pacificans get pissed and declares war against the rest of the country. wewe play as Jet Brody (slick name, eh? Sounds like something from the 50s.), who must stop the Pacificans from taking control of the country.

There really is no reason why wewe must play as part of the Atlantic Union, I personally think playing as part of the Pacifican Union would've been cooler, but either way, siku 1 Studios probably wrote two stories and had a rock, paper, scissors contest to see which story they'd pick.
Either way, once the interesting core plot is explained to you, you're basically jumping around and shooting all the exact same enemies over and over using the same guns.

Also, get a load of the main character design. Like many have alisema before, Jet Brody is basically an exact copy of the characters of Gears of War, Halo, Resistance, and Too Human. He's a bulky dude wearing an armor-encoated football suit. How original.

Going beyond that, Fracture has the most downright puzzling control scheme I've seen in a long time- R2 to shoot, mduara, duara to punch, pembetatu to run, right analog stick click to zoom, left analog stick click to crouch, R1 to raise the ground, L1 to lower it, L2 to throw a grenade, and X to call up to siku 1 and tell them to CHANGE THE FREAKING CONTROLS!!

The sound in Fracture is also rather poor, and the soundtrack is the exact 3 songs over and over.

Well, uhh, that pretty much covers this game, I guess. Oh wait, I forgot the multiplayer... there aren't many people online, but if wewe do get the game, it can serve as some fun, especially on a few specific maps. And, yeah, I guess that pretty much covers this review. I'm gonna go play a better game.

Graphics- 9.0

This is the ultimate chanzo for your video game vocabulary!


IGN: A biased, unhelpful resource where PS3 ports of the same quality of the 360 version get lower scores.

Gamespot: Another gaming resource that underrates countless games.

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing: Truly revolting slop coded in 2 hours kwa a drunken hobo.

Halo 3: The 360 system-seller.

Crysis: Succeeded because of it's graphics.

Gears of War: The only video game that truly influences kids to commit violence. That, and GTA.

Killzone 2: Also succeeded because of it's graphics.

 What remains of couch-multiplayer:
What remains of couch-multiplayer:
When I first started uandishi drafts for this makala I was going to write about the next-gen consoles leaving out good ol' couch; but after mulling over it, I came to the conclusion that both online and kitanda multiplayer are equally in use, though they are separated kwa the console boundaries.

Recently I've noticed that a lot of FPS's seem to be online-multiplayer only and that there is no couch-multiplayer mode in these games. "What a pain" I thought to myself, 360 controller in hand, sat inayofuata to a Wii owner. Clearly we would not be playing this game together any time soon. My miserable-cynical-git...

 Oracle of Seasons, one of the most frustrating games in my memory but also one of my all-time favourites.
Oracle of Seasons, one of the most frustrating games in my memory but also one of my all-time favourites.
It occurred to me recently that modern gamers are.... wimps. I'm not excluding myself here.

Whenever a gamer is punished for failure, such as a lives system they moan, they whine and they throw their controllers and say "games shouldn't have these features". The fact is that we are spoilt. A lot of next-gen games give players cheap thrills, immediate fun with no long-term fun au big hills to climb over.

The lives systems and game over screens give a game violent ups and downs, but I believe in some cases the pros outweigh the cons and I'd hate something so marvellous as this to be wiped from...
