How Metascores Are Calculated
|
 FILM: Somehow, the world's most famous monuments are being stolen - one after the other. Their size and weight are of no signifance for these cunning thieves and their devious mastermind. Police and special task forces from every country are baffled. Tourism is down, and governments are desperate as the list of missing monuments keeps growing - the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, you name it...all have vanished without a trace. However, the call has been made, and Charlie has been briefed.

This game is, simply, bad, in just about every way, from the uncomplicated, dated control system to the limited play boundaries surrounded by invisible walls, the poor camera, and unsatisfying play mechanics and the sometimes-disturbing graphics.

GameZone
Unfortunately this game is nowhere near the league of the movie, it is down right awful...Do not buy this game at any costs.

Gamezilla!
The controls are horrendous, relying on an uncontrollable camera angle that seems to mostly face the wrong way in a 3D game. The end result is that you won’t know what you are up against or where you are headed until it’s too late.

Game Chronicles
Flat, short and repetitive. In a phrase, "this game is 'Double Dragon,' in 3D with gratuitous boobs". Sound like your cup of tea?

Nintendophiles
Okay, I will admit that I did have some fun with Charlie’s Angels as I am a sucker for beat-em-up titles. The game is shoddily put together, graphically ugly, and sometimes difficult to play because of game mechanics and cheap AI.

All Game Guide
Though the game is plagued with problems in every area, it is perhaps the fighting engine that’s most disappointing. The slow motion effects used to bring dramatic flair to the fights are barely noticeable.

Gamer's Hell
Graphics were a nightmare, choppy, and the levels and character models I could have done in Photoshop! The sound was just as horrid! Bad music, bad voice acting, and well it was just bad!

Far more cornball than cool kitsch like the films. [Oct 2003, p.140]

Play Magazine
An exercise in repetition and costume changes that's part ragged arcade fighter and part "oh God, why am I playing this?" [Sept 2003, p.80]

Village Voice
Playing each of the three essentially indistinguishable characters in turn (there is no multiplayer option), you punch and kick slow-witted enemies and pick up equally indistinguishable blunt objects to use as weapons, while desperately attempting to follow the "action" through shitty camera angles.

Game Informer
This game is nothing short of an embarrassment. [Sept 2003, p.113]

While Charlie's Angels is a horrifically terrible experience, at least it's extremely short. What seems like a decade of isolation and cruelty is more like two and a half hours.

Cheat Code Central
Visually the game just plain blows. The fighting animations are right out of Fighter Maker Light - with stiff looking movement and only a couple of different punches and kicks - although it's widely advertised that each Angel has her own distinct "fighting style". They don't.

Yahoo! Games
Abysmal in every way. The only possible reason there could be for purchasing it is to give as a present to a particularly hated relative - but that might be considered a little harsh.

Gamers' Temple
Angels? Angels from hell sent to torture poor gamers perhaps...

G4 TV
We could go on to describe the pointless level design, sloppy controls, and graphical glitches galore, but how much more convincing do you need? Don't buy it!

GameSpot
A horrific display of ineptitude.

It is appropriate for me to be blunt, and I am no less blunt than a mace strapped to an opening car door to the face when I say that Charlie’s Angels is the worst game I have ever played. Not just the worst game on the GameCube... the worst I have ever played. EVER.

GameCritics
A horrible game manufactured with the creaky spare parts of a rusty genre along with fallen gears from the movie hype machine. This is the kind of game that's given away when you order a large pizza and get the second one for half price.

Into Liquid Sky
Extremely easy, even on the hard difficulty, and can be beaten in around three to four hours. That is, of course, if you can stand the insipid story, script and overall delivery of the game. Fighting your way through dumb-as-dirt enemies only to find a switch, computer, or really long ladder climb as your goal does not a good game make.

Game Revolution
Among my canon of crappy games, this one takes the cake as the most vapidly pointless game yet. Good bye, Angels, I’ll see you in Hell. In this case, Hell being under my mug of java on the coffee table.
