Why is it mature?
Seriously! Very good.
Reviews for "Meat Boy"
Controls
Game was good, but one thing that bothered me was how loose the controls were. Making a precision jump was next to impossible, as the slightest touch sent meat boy flying in any direction, landing on a small platform was way too hard.
Whats so special about it?
I understand that, as i am not saying "THIS IS THE BEST GAME IN THE WORLD", this review will be reviewed as "useless" but i thought i should state my opinion. Now this game has nothing wrong with it, I just believe is it far too overrated. Tom Fulp establishes some publicity over it and immediately everyone realizes its true potential and how the workings of this game are perfect.
Just to quote some stuff said by other people;
"Very creative (blood trail, scenes, stages, hq story)" -alamm
Blood trails? That's passing off as creative now? And scenes, and stages with backgrounds? There is nothing special about this and the story is extremely simple and in no way creative. Girlfriend gets captured? That storyline dates back to the earliest video games like Super Mario Bros for gods sake.
"sometimes i got stuck on some levels which was a sign of a good game" -NOOB13
Yes it does. If i made a game where to pass, you had to press every key on your keyboard with one hand, does that make it a good game?
Okay, enough ranting on other people but now for my own opinion. It was quite plain with a few types of obstacles. Holes, Blades, breakable objects and etc Other than that, there is nothing else. Wall Jumping isn't anything new in a video game. Quicksand did the same thing recently.
The controls were very slippery and yes, "that doesnt make a bad game u just suck lolz" but it should be enjoyable. Wall jumping over breakable stones with Blades everywhere wasn't very fun and made me frustrated after the 30th time.
Overall however, there is nothing wrong with this game, but there isn't anything good about it either.
Frustrating fun
Actually really serious frame rate issues. Serious in that it'll trip up when you need to make an ultra precise jump and you'll go flying into an obstacle. It's unfortunate that much of the challenge of this game is getting around that.
Still, it's a ton of fun. There's absolutely no doubt about that.
Clumsy controls
Not being able to control how far you jump is annoying. The wall jumping feels clumsy. Fortunately, it's much improved on the real game. Other than that, its a pretty good platformer.
