    Pacific Rim The Videogame is far away to Guillermo Del Toro's movie. Not spectacular, not frantic, This fighting game has limited and simplistic mechanics and it's poor in content, too.

    Pacific Rim is just another 'grab the cash and run' film tie-in. Sure, there is some fun to be had smashing Kaiju about the head but the lackluster controls, mind-numbing repetitiveness, and evil IAP system make this one movie tie-in game that should have well and truly been left on the cutting room floor.

    Pacific Rim is almost a decent Infinity Blade clone, but the lack of balance and odd spikes in difficulty make it hard to recommend.

    Brain-dead licensed shovelware.

    Pacific Rim is a poorly designed advertisement that can’t even copy established games well, and then charges $5 for that. It’s one to stay far away from, as it’s just a pitiful effort throughout.

    Uninspired, dull, and pestering for more money, this fits in nicely with the volume of film tie-ins.

    Stay away from this game and go see the movie instead. Even if it is the worst film of the summer, it would still be Citizen Kane compared to its video game counterpart.

    Pacific Rim (yay! another movie tie-in game!) offers little in its gameplay mechanics that it blatantly copies off of Infinity BladePacific Rim (yay! another movie tie-in game!) offers little in its gameplay mechanics that it blatantly copies off of Infinity Blade (literally it is the same exact as Infinity Blade's... Parries, Dodges, Blocks, everything!). The Jaegers don't even use their guns or fists that much! They use SWORDS! I only know of a couple Jaegers use swords which are Gypsy Danger and Striker Eureka which still don't use their swords much in the movie. Pacific Rim is a god awful excuse of a game and is in my top 20 worst apps of all time.… Full Review »
