    Overall, Yobie is enjoyable for a few moments until you see past its bland weapons and tedious cog collecting. Only 5 missions and 2 difficulty settings doesn’t help much to broaden the overall short experience. It all ends in an unsatisfying conclusion that isn’t worth the $20 price tag.

    I found myself laughing a lot while playing Yorbie. The problem is, I was laughing at just how terrible this game is, and how ripped off I would feel if I actually dropped a Jackson to pay for it.

    Normally, having side-by-side muliplayer is a welcome addition, but I doubt if anyone could find three other people who want to play Yorbie for more than two minutes. Hell, even I didn't want to play it after two minutes. I can only shake my head and ask, “What were they thinking?”

    Yorbie sucks and wasn't worth the $5 I payed for it. Clunky, ugly and boring. There isn't even that much terrible content here. Not going toYorbie sucks and wasn't worth the $5 I payed for it. Clunky, ugly and boring. There isn't even that much terrible content here. Not going to waste any more of my life even talking about this game.

    I saw the game was 0.39 on the psn store so i thought "eh,why not?" and by god is this awful. The story is non-existent,derivative and justI saw the game was 0.39 on the psn store so i thought "eh,why not?" and by god is this awful. The story is non-existent,derivative and just plain bad. The voice acting (i had the spanish one) is simply atrocious. The graphics look like a 2009 ps3 game upscaled to 1080p and the gameplay, jesus christ the gameplay, is repetitive,clunky,glitchy,and has no balance to counter the number of players playing. No wonder this game had a price tag lower than a psn avatar… Expand
