The biggest problem with Naughty Bear is, while it's subversive, unique and wildly imaginative, it's flawed in a few crucial areas. The camera is the worse offender. It isn't beyond managing, but it could've been more cooperative. [August 2010 p74]
-
64It's just a rudimentary Grand Theft Auto in bear suits. [Issue#195, p.98]
-
Had the core gameplay been better polished then Naughty Bear would have been able to get away with having only a few solitary environments to explore, but as it stands it's a hell of a lot of fun for a couple of hours, but that's your lot.
-
60The naughty bear entertains – but only for a short while. There isn't much in this game besides comic violence.
-
60Naughty Bear is an amazing character in an average game. Some technical flaw and some dull mechanic ruins the appeal of the game.
-
55This flaky action game falls short of the darkly funny teddy-bear rampage promised by the concept.
-
The developers deserve some praise for the originality of the game, but ultimately it doesn't work as it becomes boring too early.
-
55In the end, Naughty Teddy had the character, premise and even the story, however the gameplay needed some more polishing.
-
Naughty Bear wanted to be so much more, and possibly could have been with a little more variety and tightening up of the core mechanics.
-
Naughty Bear certainly isn't a sweatshop import with lead shot for eyes and asbestos filling, but it's no Steiff original either. [Aug 2010, p.116]
-
50I'm really disappointed. I had expected a cool and funny game, but all I got, was a game with lame gameplay, bad graphics and nearly no variety. Very average, but no better.
-
50Naughty Bear should burn in the flames of videogame hell. The funny-but-trivial idea of a sociopath teddy bear is spoiled by a noxious gameplay and an evil look. Don't buy it.
-
Lacking in depth and diversity but not completely devoid of charm, the game is a playable yet troubled effort that warrants little more than a one-night rent.
-
The game is fun for the first hour, perhaps two, but after that, you've already done everything there is to do besides repeating the process many more times.
-
42The game is like Manhunt, except with adorable teddy bears. Wait -- can you compel your victims to kill themselves in Manhunt? No? OK, maybe Naughty Bear's actions are slightly worse.
-
40Messing around and being violent in a bear infested game world is fun, for a while. The same thing goes for the game's humor. When the initial wave of entertainment is over you're left with bad gameplay mechanics and repetitive content. Despite an initially entertaining tone this content is not worth the asking price.
-
It had everything to be fun and hilarious, but Naughty Bear is tiresome in its mechanics and has a lot of technical flaws.
-
40Despite quite competently capturing the feel of a slasher flick and possessing a solid sense of humor, Naughty Bear is repetitious and clunky, and constantly feels like it's working to keep you separated from the parts of the game that are genuinely fun - that is, the hunting down and murder of adorable stuffed animals.
-
38Naughty Bear is just another game that features a great concept but fails miserably in execution, which is why you really shouldn't bother paying full pop for this one.
-
33The location feels claustrophobic, the camera system is atrocious and the act of torturing cuddly bears is simply not as enjoyable as it should be. The game suffers what I like to call "Fairytale Fights Syndrome" or "FFS" for short, where the idea is brilliant on paper, but fails miserably in execution.
-
Technically inept and morally desolate. [Sept 2010, p.94]
-
30Though you'll often be angry at it, Naughty Bear finds a way to make you smile at least once each level, even if you are reloading it for the third or fourth time. It's an example for every game design classroom of what not to do, but almost in spite of the developers, somehow, there's an entertaining game here that you'll inexplicably come back to.
-
30Truly awful games, especially full-price retail releases, are thin on the ground these days. Sure, games can sometimes be far too generic or suffer from some iffy design decisions, but they're rarely as poor as Naughty Bear. How the game got released in this state is a mystery.
-
30After about an hour of play you've probably seen just about all there is to see. If the variety was there or the price was that of download title then you could probably overlook some of the technical faults. In the end its biggest crime is that it just isn't fun to play.
-
It's no picnic being a psychopathic teddy bear in this shallow and repetitive 12-rated murder sim.
-
30Neither really irreverent or very funny, Naughty Bear remains a stupid and malicious action game, as moth-eaten as its hero's fur.
-
After 20 minutes of gameplay, you will have fully exhausted what the game has to show you.
-
30Naughty Bear had all the ingredients to become a great game but somewhere things went wrong. The game has a great concept but will only keep you amused for about two hours. After that, you'll be hitting yourself on the head for buying this game at full price.
-
Worst of all, any "fun" inherent in teddy bear-offing only lasts as long as it takes to commit every heinous act in the game: about an hour-and-a-half. [Oct 2010, p.83]
-
27Easily the worst game I've played so far this year. Easily.
-
25Naughty Bear could've been cool, but it isn't. It's a terrible game. You shouldn't play it.
