    Utilizing the DualShock 4’s gyroscope and light sensor is a great gimmick, and it’s a concept I hope other rail shooters implement. Beyond that, though, Blue Estate is a boring shell full of cheap, unfunny stereotypes that isn’t worth a single playthrough.

    Not broken, just painfully, awfully average and repetitive. Offensive, too. [September 2014, p75]

    Crude, sexist, and borderline racist, Blue Estate aims low in search of laughs – and still misses the target by a mile.

    For a game based on a comic book it’s suspiciously tedious and wide of the mark in terms of its humour - although we recognise that is subjective so you might take more from it than we did - but really the choices behind the control scheme mean that it fails in terms of what we’re here to assess; the game. From the moment you switch it on you’re wondering why you downloaded it, and the developers have no excuses.

    If you love low-brow jokes that aren't funny, and laughing at overweight people just because they exist, you’d still be hard pressed to enjoy Blue Estate. I

    The game's crass humour, repetitive gameplay and cultural indelicacy results in a depressing relic that should be consigned to the same draw[er] as that lightgun peripheral you never use anymore. [Oct 2014, p.77]

Kcanon112 clearly hasn't realised L1 calibrates the controller while your playing. The controls are actually really well done providing you calibrate it often....I normally do it while reloading. It's only a button press!

Gameplay is fun and addictive, plenty of humour throughtout and the point scoring system gives it alot of replayability. For such a small investment it can provide you with alot of joy, well...at least until the AAA titles come out. 8/10… Full Review »
