    The single-player mode fails to entertain. The characters are not really funny, and you can easily get bored by repetitive dungeon raids. But if you bring your friend along – it's a completely different experience. [August 2011, p.101]

    Hunted is one of those action games that fly into one ear and exit through the other without even touching your brain.

  1. First off, let me start by saying this game does not deserve all the negative criticism it is getting. Those criticizing the game are either playing on systems below specs or with outdated drivers. With even a semblance of a decent rig, the game will be playable with little/no FPS lag. That being said, this game is definitely not for everyone, and there are some problems with CoOp. If you're looking for the loot-driven randomness of Diablo or Torchlight, this game will disappoint. For what the game is, which is a hack-n-slash based in an RPG setting, Hunted delivers on several fronts. Battles are challenging and exciting, especially on higher difficulties. The dark mood and setting have been very eerie. Do NOT play this game in a dark room at night! The ability system is somewhat simplistic, so it may disappoint "true roleplayers" who are used to games like Dragon Age: Origins or KotOR. This isn't really a drawback, though, since, if you're playing this game, you just want to smash things to bits anyway. For the PC version, I did not find the graphics "dated", as some users have implied, but there can be some texture tearing even when there shouldn't be. To summarize, if you want a game that will help you let off some steam, challenge you (and a friend!) with epic battles, and make you feel like a hero, pick this one up. Just realize that it may not be what you expect it to be, and that there might be some problems which, hopefully, can be solved with some updates in the future. Expand

  2. i'm not too far into the game, so maybe some of my complaints will no longer be valid later on. But so far I've found quite a few stupid things that exist in this game like where you might see 3 nearly identical barrels in the corner and all look really weak and old, yet only one of them can be broken. I mean either make all of them breakable or none of them, 1 out of 3 just makes it really weird. I'm slightly confused by the weapons system too, my UI says I can equip a bow or a backup bow, and yet when I find another bow on the ground, I can only replace my existing bow, not take both??? I heard that the second bow slot is actually something that will be unlocked later, but in that case why not somehow show that it is a locked slot/ability? There are many other small things as well, like not being able to jump. On the plus side, voice acting is pretty good so far both in terms of fit and delivery. Overall, not a horrible game, but not a great game either, I got mine as part of a pack, so no big loss for me. But definitely not worth it to buy at full price. Expand
