    They promised local co-op play and even sent me an email that it was included the day before release...i preordered and no local co-op play.......these companies have to stop misleading us about this

    Gonna be honest, I only played the single player for a few minutes, though to be fair, the opening cut scene did absolutely nothing to get me invested in the setting, the characters, or whatever the plot was. Just you and another dude driving then some things explode and suddenly your playing Gears of War with normal sized people. Yay? The multiplayer, lack of an advertised yet absentGonna be honest, I only played the single player for a few minutes, though to be fair, the opening cut scene did absolutely nothing to get me invested in the setting, the characters, or whatever the plot was. Just you and another dude driving then some things explode and suddenly your playing Gears of War with normal sized people. Yay? The multiplayer, lack of an advertised yet absent split-screen aside, was just as boring because I only saw exactly 3 other people trying to play this travesty and played exactly one game of deathmatch, meant for 8 people, with just one other person. I spent most of the match just looking for my adversary and not using the gravity gimmick at all save for floating to and from cover in certain sections. This game could have been just okay or even hilariously bad like Mind Jack, but instead it's just very very bland and no one will ever remember it come next month.… Expand

    I wasted my time just watching the trailer. Too unrealistic. It reminds of Elysium( A great movie) but was the direct opposite. I didn't even finish the trailer. Namco once again failed me

    The game looks fine, but it can't hold the framerate it keeps collapsing.

    It is rare to play a game with such stupid characters in a stupid bloody it feels like a b movie from the 80s. I can respected it is so stupid that interesting. The game has some remarkable destruction effects when you shoot things.

    The game has some remarkable destruction effects when you shoot things.

    This game screams for local Co-Op but Saturday is not so you cannot have fun with your friends, which would at least at make this game a little more bearable.

    The boss fights in this game is not fun day away to Bullet punchy and the Tactics to defeat them is boring. You have to fight them so many times

    Is game took 5 hours for me, but it was a very boring and tedious experience and I had to put the game down on easy in the last 3 chapters of the game because the gameplay was getting so frustrating I can under no sense recommend this game.    … Expand

    A decent cover shooter which gets better towards the end. The gravity effects are nice, but they could be much nicer, if you could control the direction of gravity, not just the amount of it. [Aug 2012]

    Inversion is condemned to eternal oblivion due to the defiant lack of marketing and advertising. However it is a solid game, with satisfactory gameplay mechanics, some consistently implemented fresh ideas and interesting storyline which ends with a cliffhanger that will remain unresolved. Worshipers of the Gears of War religion, give Inversion a chance.

    In summary, Inversion is a pretty good shooter that is worth being looked at by any fan of the genre. It is an enjoyable playthrough but not something that screams for a repeat performance.
