    This is just a cynical and brazen attempt to get you to buy the makers' laughable "book of the game," which costs $30 I think. They want you to buy multiple copies, too. Granted, trophy hounds can be masochistic and stick with a turgid, vacuous, repetitive, charmless, lazy, brainless waste of time like this to the bitter end for that all-important Platinum.

Granted, trophy hounds can be masochistic and stick with a turgid, vacuous, repetitive, charmless, lazy, brainless waste of time like this to the bitter end for that all-important Platinum. If you seek a modicum of enjoyment from your games, however, then turning off your Playstation and sitting staring at it, motionless, for two hours will provide you with better gameplay, a deeper story and a greater sense of achievement than going anywhere near the extended book commercial that you're expected to pay for that is The Burly Sea Men.

    "The smell of gloom and eternal despair" is clearly one that the makers of this drivel have wafting around their studio while working.

    Also, the racist blacksmith is just offensive. Change it.

    Morally bankrupt. 0/10.    … Expand

    Having found a map inside a bottle floating in the sea three fisherman hop onboard their boat and set off in search off adventure.

    Boring game. Boring controls, Boring gameplay, boring music, boring story.... only good thing about this game is that it's an easy platinum trophy. can get it in under 60 minutes. And I'm sure thats the only reason for the majority of people that got the platinum.

    It's not a game at all, merely an interactive storybook. The story is not interesting.

    I have no problem with it being an interactive story, rather than a game. But I can't excuse how painful it is to physically play. It doesn't even hint at what buttons you need to press in the first place, and then everything you do is so slow, you'll spend more time moving the camera than reading story.

    This game is garbage. I can't say anything about this game other than it's garbage

    Burly Men at Sea will definitely charm you though. And although it can get repetitive if you try to get all the endings for the game, the stories are all well written and it’s exciting to see what happens next. Lots of color, fun music and sound, and witty writing bring this to a very well rounded game that is likely to please most people.
