  • Summary: [Playstation Network] Kick-Ass is a fully 3D action fighting game set in the third-person perspective, where the player can play and control modern day super heroes based on the storyline of the movie. Gamers will be able to play as the three primary characters in the film - Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, and Big Daddy. The story-driven game draws heavily from the strengths of the intellectual property; an action combat game where the characters finally grow sick of the crime around them, and decide that they will do something about it.

    If only it wasn't so highly priced. [Issue#194, p.103]
  2. Shallow and repetitive gameplay, dull visuals, and overused poor-quality film assets put this game in the failed-superhero category.

    Kick-Ass is a poor beat-'em-up that feels rushed at every turn.

    Kick-Ass has adequate character models and the prerequisite references to the source material, but bears none of the enthusiasm of its namesake. Just when you think that movie-based games are finally making some headway, a game like Kick-Ass comes along to obliterate that notion and to show you how low some people will sink to make a buck.

  1. This game is only a little bit fun if you have a buddy, but still, it's not a buy. No way. The game doesn't live up to the legacy of the film and that is not mentioning the horrible graphics... Expand
