Good platformer/hack 'n slash game, very fast paced-arcade style. You really feel like a ninja. The game encourages exploration and there is quite some backtracking to get all the upgrades and extra content.
The only thing I didn't like was that in the last mission the enemies become "cheap" difficult: they turn into damage sponges, attack you in groups, or freeze you all the time (literally, in some cases they give 1 second of movement before they freeze you again) frocing you to adopt some shameful (for an overpowered ninja) strategies to progress.
Apart from that it is a solid game.

Cool story, good mechanics that fit different playstyles. I chose stealth for a slow-paced playthrough. Most side missions are somewhat related to the main plot. The game ending adapts to your playthrough, however, don't expect it to change drastically. It is a linear experience after all.
.. also make sure to watch all the credits... that one really hurt.

One of the funniest games of the era. Simple as that. The story is totaly absurd but but the goofy enemies make it totally work.
They don't make games like this anymore.

Not good at all. Controls feel terrible, very slow paced, a lot of input lag unless you start tweaking the video settings. Collisions feel off. It is just a "keep hiting until dead".
Even playing cooperative doesn't make it fun.

If you played the OG Top Gear, this is the game for you. 100% arcade fun.

[Free demo]: Since I only played the demo all I can review is the mechanics of the game. It's a well executed "match-3" style puzzle, graphics are nice, music is very relaxing. The way you can create combos makes you think ahead of your moves.
It took me about 2 hours to finish/lose the demo level, very easy to get bonus during gameplay.
If the full version of the game had an story or a reason for you to be building these towns, I think I would keep playing, but for the demo, once you are done with it there is nothing to make you want to play more. Gameplay style is quite simple, in a positive way.

Two years and still waiting for the master league... The game has become a little better... not quite there yet.

I waited 4 years to finally buy this game for cheap ($2.00 - ultimate) just to play the story mode. Having said that, I really enjoyed it, nice story telling. I don't play online/competitive so I don't know much about the gameplay. I have played the original series (1, 2, 3 & trilogy back in the day) and the new series (9,10 and 11) and this is a great game... the only negative I can tell is the grinding for the krypt... it is just too much.
Now I'll wait 4 more years to play the new MK1...

Fun for a couple of matches.. after 10 or so you will notice all the issues with the gameplay, even considering that its gameplay is more arcade-style than sim-style.
Cool if you are a wrestling fan but don't want to fully invest your time in a main 2k series.

Nice turn-based strategy game once you get the hang of it.
The only negative/positive thing (depending how you see it) is that one miscalculation can throw your hole campaign to the trash. Campaign is not longh, though, about 9 missions if you go straight to the final stage.

This game is beautiful. The imagery is amazing, make a pause whenever you discover a new piece of story, rotate the camera and enjoy the view.
Don't activate the commentary, it will spoil the whole experience in the first minute of the game.

I haven't played the base game, but this stand alone DLC was very entertaining. Yes, it's only 5 missions (3 big and 2 short) but it was very enjoyable (and also frustrating... it's difficult), and taking into account that each missions will take probably 2 hours to complete , it was a good game. I like the stealth element of the gameplay.

Fun for a while until you realize there is no story, and it is just one level repeating over and over. This is purely an "arcade" high score game.

Casual game, nice puzzles, story is entertaining. You can finish it in one sitting. Music is nicely syncronized with the charcaters's movement.

Amazing, very dark themed, simple (in the good way), nice puzzles. The animation details are great. the way the game hints you where to go is very subtle and works wonders without sticking out too much. Story is very open to interpretation.
Note: Seriously, whats wrong with videogames and little long-haired girls being so creepy!
