    Imaginative graphics and superb sound, a sprawling adventure packed full of neat touches and cool weapons, great humour and an accomplished multiplayer; Glitch embodies what games are really all about - challenge, entertainment and fun.

    This title does a great job of adding familiar elements of platforming and first-person shooter titles to an intense fast-paced action game.

    Looks great, plays well, but is fairly typical of the action/arcade genre.

    Holding back the fun are severe slowdown and scripting problems; hectic firefights and complex rooms often crush the game's framerate, and some event triggers can be irrevocably hung up, forcing a restart. [Dec 2003, p.92]

    The demo that came with the official Xbox magazine was fun. Good controls, good graphics. I'll probably pick this one up when it comes out.

    I had to give this game a 4. Indeed it had good graphics and was a good idea that went wrong... Horribly wrong. Perhaps it's just me but I hate the cheap laughs these games try to get. I want to get into the game, take it seriously, but I can't when the robots act like f'ing idiots. If you're the kind of gamer who is 12 or under, are famale, over 50 or like cute games like anything beginning with "Mario" then this might be up your alley... … Expand
