Vanquish

Publisher: Sega

Developer: Platinum Games

Director: Shinji Mikami

Platform: Third Person Shooter

Good:

Exciting game playCreative visual styleWell thought out controlsGreat boss fights

Bad:

No multiplayerReplay value limited to improving scoresThrow away plotHit or miss dialoguesLacking in content

You may have never heard of this game because of the lack of marketing however I hope that after you’ve read this review you’d have a new insight about this game. Vanquish is set in a future where Russia demolishes San Francisco with a giant satellite microwave beam which creates the conflict that your character Sam Gideon needs to end.

If you have heard about this game then you would have read or heard about the game being short. The truth is it isn’t really that short but it’s more of average however it feels short because of the lack in content and things to do after you’ve finished the game. The only thing you could do is finish the challenges or play in a harder difficulty or improve your hi-score which isn’t really fun for most people.
