    EDIT: I had to re-write my original review. I originally noted that Titanfall was a simplistic and shallow online-only shooter that lacked character and depth. Despite the developers insistence that it was not Call of Duty with mechs, it is exactly that--a point and click shooter with nothing new. The game is a small game pretending to be epic by using lots of motion on the screen.EDIT: I had to re-write my original review.

Despite the developers insistence that it was not Call of Duty with mechs, it is exactly that--a point and click shooter with nothing new. The game is a small game pretending to be epic by using lots of motion on the screen. Limited customization, limited gameplay modes, limited story, limited number of players, limited number of maps. But I had originally praised the game's lack of micro-transactions, and recommended the game over most shooters for that reason...giving the game a positive review. I was wrong. EA has now announced plans for what appears to be a truly staggering amount of DLC, which will roll out over many months or years...including the dreaded "map packs" that plague other online shooters. That makes this game nothing but a trimmed down, basic "starter pack" for what may be hundreds of dollars in DLC. That is awful, and so it this game.… Expand

    Multiplayer would be fantastic if it were not so limited. 6v6 is frustrating and top it with bots.

    And as the campaign ... hello, this is a campaign?

    Game gets old, fast. The graphics are on par with a mid-generation 360 game and the online is not competitive. TitanFall is definitely a casual shooter and will only provide you with a few hours of online before you feel like you've had enough. There is not enough content within this game to support the price or all these 10/10 reviews.

I could care less about the lack of single player campaign or any kind of story mode. As if I care why people in the future are shooting each other on ficitional planets. The Titan concept is awesome and refreshing. Something a little different finally. Is the game worth a purchase ? Yes, IMO. The lack of titles on XBOX ONE is the primary reason. Would I have bought this game for the 360. Absolutely not. But again Im not a huge FPS guy. Im happy with the purchase and I enjoy playing it. One last thing Ive found nice, while I havent "explored" the game very thoroughly, I havent noticed EA trying to get in my wallet with DLC. The game seems fun and playable as is. Im sure its only a matter of time before maps and all that crap are "sold". By then I hope there are more titles on the system to choose from.… Expand

    I read that this the first next gen game to look forward to so when I heard of the beta I signed up and I got a good few days playing out of that and I was sold on it then, I had grown tired of FPS, especially Call of Duty, this is a refreshing and and benchmark setting game and I will pick it up and play a few game of it for a long time.

    I played Titanfall extensively over this past week and I'm loving it. I haven't had this much fun in a multiplayer FPS since Call of Duty 4. I really love the mechanics and the parkour of the game as well as the balance between Titan fights and pilot fights. Even though I'm having lots of fun playing this game, it does have some drawbacks that keep it from achieving greatness. First offI played Titanfall extensively over this past week and I'm loving it. I haven't had this much fun in a multiplayer FPS since Call of Duty 4. I really love the mechanics and the parkour of the game as well as the balance between Titan fights and pilot fights. Even though I'm having lots of fun playing this game, it does have some drawbacks that keep it from achieving greatness. First off lets talk about the graphics. This is the supposed first next gen title on the Xbox One, but it's running at 729 fps on a ten year old source engine. Although this game will most likely run a lot better on the Xbox One than it's 360 counterpart, I can't help but feel like I'm playing a game from last gen. Graphics aside, the unlocks in the game feel scarce and unrewarding. There aren't many guns, or abilities to choose from which makes me worry that the game will grow tiresome fast, and run out of fresh things to keep me interested. Another thing that keeps this title from really achieving greatness is the fact that everybody hyped this thing up to be the greatest shooter of all time and define the next generation multiplayer shooter. Titanfall doesn't quite do that but it is a step in the right direction. I'm excited to see what Titanfall 2 has in store for us and hopefully it is a greater leap forward.… Expand

    Over hyped definitely, but it is a good solid shooter. I've noticed a ridiculous amount of clipping issues since playing though, including drop pods and the evac ship. The campaign is the worst I've played in an FPS (yes it's worse than Battlefield 4 and CoD). The only reason it gets an 8 is simply because it feels fresh with the mechs and free running.

So one thing that you probably already know ( if you played the beta ) is that this game is addictive. Even if you completely hate the game, you would still lose hours into it. This is mainly because it takes the twitch shooter element from Call of Duty, mixes it with the dynamic and tactical gameplay of Battlefield, infuses it with Halo's futuristic setting, puts in Mirrors Edge parkour and puts in mechs to create a totally unique and awesome gameplay experience. And instead of just taking these cool thing that we love and giving them a Titanfall paint job, Respawn have refined them and expanded upon them. However I would have liked to of had Battlefield's destruction, as shooting down starships to destroy waves of enemy's would have been amazing. The graphics are ok, and there are a decent amount of maps and mode's, but there hardly any customisation at all! No attachments for guns! WTF? No pilot customisation! WTF? And this one kills it for me... NO TITAN CUSTOMISATION! That would have awesome! To have a connection to your Titan! To have memory's of all your badass moments! To have a Titan squad with your friends! And the so called story is pointless! You don't care about any one in your squad or story ever!

Yes the game play is a blast to play and it is just a breath of fresh air in the gaming world. But, this game is not worth all the hype it set up for itself. If your expecting some sort of complete revolution of the FPS genre, then you need to lower your expectations. The whole concept of mechs in general is cool, being able to call a titan in at any moment you want to be able to slaughter your enemies is cool, being able to parkour across the map instead of having to follow that linear path of corridors is cool. This game executes that all perfectly. However, this all, believe it or not, gets repetitive and, dare I say boring, after a while. That sense of empowerment and awe from calling in your titan and suddenly becoming a force to be reckoned with wears off quite fast believe it or not. This game is cod with mechs and jetpacks, bottom line. The story in this game is nonexistent, just some pretty pretty set pieces and the cliche "We gotta fight for our freedom from the big bad govt" is executed with some pretty cringe worthy dialogue. There is not alot of guns in this game, so do not come into this game thinking it has the gun arsenal of COD or BF, it has, at the most, 10 main weapons, 3 side weapons, 5 or 6 titan weapons, and titan missiles that are all the same, just launched differently. The choice of weapons in this game is obvious for both pilots and titans, and it makes the the entire idea of having those spare weapons feel wasteful and almost like a joke. Why pick that terrible missile launcher when you can pick the machine gun that fires faster and is more accurate? Why pick the revolver for your pilot when you can pick the game's standard handgun that does a little less damage but is both more accurate AND has more ammo? The game has a prestige system that feels like a joke, forcing you to to complete challenges that would have you breaking your normal strategy to have to adopt a whole new one just to get to the next prestige. While this does sound more like a pro seeing as it does add longevity to the game and it gives it a challenge, when you actually play it and see that you have to use that dreaded bolt action sniper rifle to score 100 kills on pilots at the moment they eject from their titan, you will see my point. I plan on returning this game back to gamefly where it belongs. All in all this game gets 5.5/10 from me.… Expand

    Aside from a few minor quibbles (I can jump across streets and hop over entire buildings, but a knee-high window ledge is insanely finicky to get past?) Titanfall is undoubtedly a great game which does an exceptional job of breathing new life into an increasingly-stale genre.
