    The game isn't terrible but it could have been a whole lot better, weapons although creative made very little difference due to the fact that almost all enemies died instantly from a headshot, lack of story didn't really help " die this" and "die that" they should have worked a bit better on the script. Too short and lacking in variation of enemies, the only other problem the game had was the 2 characters in the story barely had any relationship so players couldn't really feel any connection to the them. Considering that this was joint made by Tecmo and KOEI these 2 should have done better. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quantum Theory is not a bad game. The criticic was too harsh with it. The game was created by a big house, and everyone expected a wonderful product. However, although it has many flaws, it is not the "horror" that everyone says. Expand

    I'm not going to waste my time writing a review and you shouldn't waste your time playing this game. If you've bought this game don't open it! Instead return it to the store for a full refund.

    One of the most under-appreciated games of the year. It seems like everyone jumped to conclusions about this game and followed the lead of gamers that failed to give this one a chance. Story was entertaining, game-play was challenging, voice acting was very good. The game was also innovative in it's use of environment. Those that criticize it say that it is a copycat, but is it that big of a deal to utilize a working dynamic? Call of Duty copied Medal of Honor's aiming system. Killzone 2 tried and failed to incorporate a similar cover system. Why criticize Quantum Theory for doing it, and getting it right? That aside, I feel sorry for those that did not purchase the game and missed out on a real spectacular multiplayer experience. That was the shining jewel of Quantum Theory. My only criticism about the game is the lack of an On/Off option for auto aim. Unfortunately, just as the internet is good for finding information, when misused, like it was on the harsh reviews, it can really kill a good game. It is not possible to find a multiplayer game anymore. That is unfortunate because it was a real blast when it lasted. For those of you who judged it by the demo, or did not give it half a chance, I am disappointed. What should have been a decent turnout for a spectacular game was killed by ignorance on the internet. Next time, actually play the whole game before you review it. Expand

    i love gears of war so even though this game looks like a rip off it still looked fun. unfortunitly it was very sloppily put together . its buggy its glitchy the story makes even less sense then gears of war does ... which is pretty remarkable . the voice acting is ok ...well maybe tolerable is a better way of saying it . this game needed another year of work and more thought to be put into it . if that was done we might have gottin a more enjoyable game.

    Oh my God, Tecmo-Koei, what are you trying to do to us?! Better saying, what are you trying to do to YOURSELVES? Not since the Atari times had I seen such mediocrity in a game. It's so bad It'll make you cry. Please, Tecmo-Koei, redeem yourselves by releasing a HD version of Romance of the 3 Kingdoms and throw this in the sea.

    The game does over multiplayer with up to eight players. Even here, however, the game seems somewhat limited in scope. You have only a handful of maps, and only four game modes, two of which are ranked.

    If you like epic storytelling, skip this one. The KI is lame and doesn't motivate you at all, but the multiplayer is fun for a few hours.

    A cover shooter that steals from the best, but falls flat on its face during the getaway. [Issue#231, p.86]
