I am taking The Bouncer back today (It truly is a BAD game) :(

I went ahead and purchased the Bouncer this weekend (against almost everyone\'s advice) Why not, I thought, the star wars jedi game (for PS1) got bad reviewes but I love it!
So I got it home and played it (If thats what you call it)
Because you are actually only "playing"  about 1 minute at a time (no kidding!)
and then there is 3 or 4 animations and then you get to fight again (for about 1 minute) and over and over and over.....
the game is stopped CONSTANTLY. You can never get into it at all.
After all the pretty cut scene graphics get old, you get bored...real fast.
And they say in the book " Play the game over with different people to get the most out of it."
Well, I still only get to play like one minute at a time no matter who i pick, and it\'s the same thing, over and over.
I really tryed to like this game. If for no other reason, just because I spent $50 on it. And I did not want to feel stupid. Well guess what, I feel stupid.
It really is bad.

Man, the games for this system are very dissapointing.


G.

I like the game so far its pretty fun.  But I have only really played it for about a half hour..

You don\'t get to fight that long at all, its really quick and then a lot of movies.  

Its a damn shame....  I will keep the game though, its still has some really nice show off graphics and its not that bad to play...  

I really would like an in depth game though, everything I have is short.  Something like...ahhh.ummmm...ahhh  Final Fantasy X..  Yeah that would be nice :eyemouth:

Then why do you have the system? Sell it.

I am starting to ask myself the same qestion.
I guess the only real reason I have held onto it is because of madden.

Although there is really not much going for the PS2 right now as far as games go, I\'m waiting on TM:Black.  The DVD function is nice too.  I\'m hoping that this will start moving fast, because I\'m tired of reading previews when I should be reading reviews.  If you know what I mean, Vern.

I didn\'t get to buy The Bouncer, instead I bought Shadows of Destiny, reserved Onimusha and Z.O.E .
But, I have got quite awhile of play time in (enough to have Sion and Kou maxed out).
I have to say, the game could of been a classic, if they would of made it less "movie based". Added the supposed interactive backgrounds / items. So on and so on. The 4 player fighting mode is crap, IMO. The fighting engine is not near robust enough to have a true fighting game. Its just simple mindless fun.

Still, The Bouncer was over-hyped, that is the single worst aspect of it. People was expecting something different because of all the hype going on around this title.
I hope for a sequel and to see Dream Factory fix those annoying little problems in the first.

.. Isn\'t there anything in the future that\'s worth keeping the PS2 for?

Not much going on with the PS2 ?????


Sorry its your opinion, but its weak opinion

Ddaryl,

The last comment(s) weren\'t directed @ me were they?

I know there are a ton of great games on the horizon.

I guesse I am one of the few who liked the game.

Nah. I liked it too. I can definitely understand why some people won\'t though. It\'s nothing out of this world, nor is it a POS. I just think it\'s a \'cool\' game. I love the character design.

Yeah few is exactly right.  The only games that appeal to me are DOA2 and Madden.  And I can\'t play those forever.

What can I say, the X is looking good and the software for our precious $300 babies is in low supply

Rob,
have you tried ATV Offroad Fury?

There goes the plans to buy The Bouncer then... Well, I already knew there was about nothing to play there, but I thought that the periods would stand even a tad bit longer.

I\'m really moneyless. That means: I can\'t buy every game I would want. And every time I decide to buy a game, I will have to think weeks whether to buy the game or not. I\'m not going to buy a game just for cut-scenes. I won\'t buy a game wich has 2 hours of gameplay. I just don\'t have the money!

I, of course, would buy Bouncer if I\'d have lots of money. I think I\'d love the game. Love every minute in it. But it just is too short for my pennies... If I get bored to it in a week, then i will have to wait another 2-3 months to get a new game.

And I don\'t want to wait. I will buy a game that lasts next. Until then, I\'m happy with Final Fantasy IX.
