Reviews for London Riots: The Game

[adderke]

Not intrested

The fact that it's based on true events which are indeed not good is not the reason why I give this very bad point. I think that if people can play games about War for entertainment, they should also accept something as this.
But it's just boring, bad and irritating.
Out of frustation I just let "my gang" stand in the middle of the road waiting 'till the police would take them all (that will learn them, but still... Even then it was long, I don't think I will ever be able to lose if I tried.
It was a good attempt... Maybe you should let your group able to split up.
One thing I liked about the game is the fact I never Blammed something before... And now I will for the very first time...
THE EXCITEMENT!

Yes!

Honestly, the game isnt that fun.. But you get about 6 of these points extra for such an awesome concept.
It would be more fun if you could kill the cops though!

Subject aside...

It really isn't a good game I find the mouse contols difficult as the screen moves way too fast and how to throw Molotovs is difficult

Pathetic >=(

the gameplay is not good, smashing glasses on markets takes long and i dont need to review more cuz i know the rest is going to be even more worst and also making fun out of a crisis that people have suffered is just totally wrong people have died in that incident and yet you created a crappy game with bad controls, its really not helping i seen other games like tsunami fighter domu-kun vs tsunami and they use the tsunami in japan and its helping people to donate or cheer people up but your games is far more worst than i seen. so tell me are you one of these riot people i seen videos of how gangs of riot can even mugged an innocent victim and rob shops its disgusting and yet you only just remind people about the bad things. also i agree with the other people who thinks this game is not even funny

you sir have no stars make a better game that will bring people up not down.

Hi 7darkriders,

So you have no problem with games making profit off the back of a tragedy, as long as it's done from the correct perspective?

Throughout history many books, plays, films and, in these modern times, video games have depicted real life stories from the eyes of the villains. Try and think of this as an oppotunity to relive the oppotunist parasitism from the rioters perspective and draw your own conclusions from it. Challenging your mind in this way will surely make you a better person... Or you could just go around the internet arrogantly telling people what to think; your choice.

good concept

i liked the concept of this game being the rioters and trying to avoide the police while still looting. I think its just not done as well as it could be. I would have liked to have seen bigger more free roam style levels were you could wander around a district in london or anywere else and the police would respond to your actions. Destroy a shop the police would cordon off the area and you'd have to get away in time ect. As i played this game i did notice that levels were very diffrent in difficulty, especiaqlly the second compared with the first, it needs to be a more gradual slide. I do think this game could be improved a lot and be much better. That being said i did like the aspects of the game such as police would be distracted putting out flames on cars.

As too the people voting low because they think its disrepectfull to what actually happend please man up a little. i bet you've played war games were people died and not thought well this is terrible to the people who actually died in the war. It is just a game he is not blaring a massive message on screen saying looting is good. its the internet.
