    It may not be a truly heroic experience, but Manhunters and the Green Lantern movie would make for a fine weekend double feature. [Sept 2011, p.85]

    A game with restricted and simple gameplay that could have been a decent game.

    Technically it's not state of the art, and it's killing every bit of motivation you could have collected along the way: Killing, traveling, killing, travelling in tube levels is not what one expects from a franchise.

    We weren't expecting it, but at some point during our review of Rise of Manhunters we discovered we were actually having fun. [Issue#208, p.93]

    The lack of specific co-operative mechanics is something of a missed opportunity.

    For those who take the risk, there is a satisfying game to be enjoyed, mainly thanks to the simplistic yet diverse combat mechanics as well as drop in co-operative play. It's an ideal purchase for younger gamers anticipating the release of the film, but for anyone else, caution is advised.

    Most games adapted from famous comic franchises with super heroes are crap. Some very few ones are brilliant. Green Lantern is neither. It's linear, repetitive and it lacks ambition and ideas, ending up below your average action game, but the variety of weapons and overall combat gameplay are still satisfying. They offer a decent way to vent, if only for short bursts of play, either by oneself or with a friend.

I was wanting on the reviews before I bought the game however there are still no reviews as of this writing. So I said what the hell and bought the game anyway. I actually like it! The graphics are awesome, the combat is fun. You get to level up and buy upgrades. It's a hack-n-slash God Of War-type of game. It offers two player non-splitscreen co-op. All in all it's a good game. I don't know what the "official" scores will be yet, but if this game gets bad reviews then I will lose faith in the entire video game rating industy.… Expand

I must admit that I didn't play it as long on PS3 as I did on the 360, because I'm and achievement junkie and not a trophy person, but I wanted to see what the differences were. There weren't that many. I'm not a gigantic GL fan, but this game is fun for anyone. The constructs (your battle tools) are clever, and the variety is nice...always using the same two things to kill off the enemies can get dull.
    Is it worth $59.99? Well I played it through twice, and it's about 8 hours (the first time anyway), I say it was worth the big price for me. If I hadn't wanted to play it a second time, I may have been a little disappointed in that price point.
    All in all, I give it an A.    … Expand

We all know why I say 'passable'... most videogame/movie tie-insAs a Green Lantern comic fan, I was hoping this game would be... passable. We all know why I say 'passable'... most videogame/movie tie-ins are not very good as a rule.

    So when no reviews were popping up, I was saying 'uh-oh'... just like the rest of you. However, my impulsive nature, combined with some 'trade-in' credits pushed me over the edge, so I picked it up.

    I can safely say that as a Green Lantern fan, and as a fan of God of War AND Panzer Dragoon-esque games, Rise of the Manhunters is a lot of fun.

    Starting off on Oa with some rudimentary constructs, you will move through the story (which seems to come after the movie) and unlock new constructs, for even more playful ways to smash your enemies.

    It's not going to win any awards for originality, since it cribs so heavily from other games, but I can safely say that after playing it for around 3 hours, I let out a sigh of relief at not wasting my money.

    Po sporej ilości gier z otwartymi światami fajnie jest pograć w coś dla rozluźnienia niewymagającego myślenia. + kanapowy coop.
