    I'm sorry I didn't enjoy this game one little bit. This is like a really pointless hack n slash game. Going around shooting the same robots, over and over and over and over and over again. And the so called bosses are the same over and over and over and over again it gets very boring, very quickly. There is no customisation to either weapons or suit (increasing mag size is a joke).

I've almost completed it but its taken every ounce of my being to get this far; for me its like going to the dentist to have a tooth taken out but have to endure the pain without local anaesthetic. I respect that some people enjoyed it but didn't.… Expand

    Some games are get older not so good. What about this game: we have generic TPS with generic level design (ALL levels are made from absolutely same boxes, walls, elevators, etc.), very strange weapon upgrade system (you need to DON'T use weapon if you want to upgrade it, wtf?), very dumb story. The game is short, but all this 5 hours is so long because of very boring and repetativeSome games are get older not so good.

The game is short, but all this 5 hours is so long because of very boring and repetative situations. Some bosses you need to kill several times. Some enemies can one-shot kill you even on normal difficulty. This game tries to kill you for literally ANYTHING. You need to cover from strong enemies, but game gets you into narrow corridors. Meh. And it have an achievement where you need to walk through the game without dying. Are you f*cking serious? This dumb sh*t not worth it.… Expand

    Vanquish manages in many ways to be quite literally awesome though; from the bombastic battles you partake in, through its outstanding technical performance, brilliantly ridiculous cutscenes and superb twists on an established genre.

    If you're still itching to waste a few hours on Vanquish, here's some advice: wait until the inevitable price reduction.

    There's really been nothing else quite like it this generation, which makes comparison difficult, and its one misstep is the fact that its only online component is a paltry ranking system. In truth, having multiplayer inside the chaotic sphere of Vanquish would have made Mikami's latest baby the prodigal son of third-person shooters. There's always next time though. [December 2010 p78]
