Reviews for "Fear Unlimited Arena"

Good, but try harder. ;)

This game really made me enjoy, but I can't deny it has its
inconvenients, like the problem with the jewels (you know, you cant get them until they stop bouncing) and the difficult controls.

Keep working, I'd like to see a part 2 of this game with improvements on those two things.

"Noob?"

Pointing out the horrible controls in this game doesn't make one a noob, friend. You shouldn't have to have "skills" just to turn your character to face the other damn direction.

Maybe you need to grow up, or just learn a thing or two about good game design. Making it difficult just to control your character doesn't force people to develop "skills" to play your so obviously badarse game, it makes them lose interest and find something else to waste their time on.

That's really all that needs to be said. The controls are TERRIBLE, this game is honestly impossible to play for longer than 5 minutes. Guns are useless, they don't really seem to do much damage at all and I'm not sure why you bothered with them, since it's obvious that to get anywhere you have to rely entirely on your sword, which is also pointless because you can't ever actually HIT anyone with them, instead you go running towards the edge of the screen slashing the air like an idiot even though you're trying to walk the other way.

Other than that it wasn't anything new or interesting. I've already played Devil May Cry, 1-3, so I'm a bit tired of it. But that doesn't really have anything to do with the game itself, just an opinion.

If I were you I wouldn't take FryLock's advise and simply ignore criticism, if that's the case then the games will never improve and they'll never appeal to a greater audience.

noobs.....

Well... Dont listen to the ppl below me :P, They are just noobs that doesnt have the skills, Controls were tricky when I started but it was good after 5 - 10 mins., And probably they havent finished the other Fear series lol. Please stop whining If you cant play the game well because your such a wimp to :/. Nice game and nice of you to pull it out just b4 the year ends :3. Happy Holidays.

okay, we get it, you like DMC.

Okay, I hate to crap on people's hard work but this is just not doing it for me here. Honestly, you had like what... 4 or 5 versions of this game? You really should be able to get this right by now. For one, it's the same game as the previous fears except stat tweaks, some graphics upgrade, and much shoddier controls and balance.

The one good thing you did was add boss battles into it so that there is more variety but even that implementation kind of fell flat.

- controls just don't handle well. For one, you can't turn around in mid air just to face another direction. In fact, you can't seem to do that when you're on the ground standing either. (that is, until you've completely returned to neutral position. And by that point, you're already getting smacked around by the little minions since they WILL surround you.

- guns, while nifty to look at, are just not effective enough to warrant usage.

- combo or "style" ranking is once again basically how many hit combo can you muster up. Okay, fine, that's the convention, stick with it. But when you're constantly being sandwiched by minions and your ability to adjust your positioning to deal with them is so severely hampered, you're basically just hoping that you get lucky and they don't smack you out of your combo.

- boss characters while visually interesting they don't actually do an awful lot. They beat the crap out of you and are certainly very difficult, but they aren't even fun to watch when they do that.

- The difficulty on this game is fairly high because of the issues I've listed above. And quite frankly, after dying for the 4th time without really getting anywhere, I just gave up.

- Jewel drop acts funny and you can't pick it up until it has completely stopped moving. Most of the time, they fade or fall out of the screen before that happens.

- It is probably not fair to say but, honestly I think you could have done so much more with this game. But instead, this is basically another clone of your previous work, and an inferior one at that. If this was a first step work, great, good job so far. but knowing that you've already done a bunch of other much better versions of this game prior, I just find this one rather disappointing.

Good game, but I've seen it before

Nice game, but like every one of your games, it's all a DMC clone and we've all been playing the same game just prettied up abit.

I'd give it higher if it was something new but yeah :)
