Quote
A new breed of WARRIOR returns, committed to destroying the enemies of FREEDOM
When ONE angry man, has a world to protect - There is only ONE future – HIS OWN

No-nonsense hero Marlow never shied away from danger or trouble. But now he faces his ULTIMATE challenge. After crash-landing in Central America, he has an industrial evil to defeat whilst bound to an ancient Mayan Death Mask who’s had no-one to talk to for 2000 years. Another day at the office only this time Marlow is PUSHED TO THE LIMIT , his sweetheart has been abducted, the bad guys are making up their own rules and only one man can judge them – and EXECUTE THE SENTENCE .

Fearlessly fighting through Mayan temples and towering valleys, monstrous machinery, nothing, but nothing, will stand in the way of this bad ass warrior, his girl and the crushing of all opposition.

They told him to go to HELL, he was DEAD ready.

With cliffhanger over the top action and cinematic gameplay, Marlow Briggs takes inspiration from the best of blockbuster films, comic book heroes, and action games with its focus on relentless high-octane combat, exotic and danger filled environments and epic set pieces.

•   Fight the enemies of FREEDOM with stacks of awesome combos and magic abilities,
•   Single handedly destroy HUNDREDS of enemies
•   Deploy MIGHTY weapons of destruction
•   Leap out of HUGE EXPLOSIONS in slow motion
•   Reveal the DEADLY secrets of the Mayans
•   Save the ENTIRE planet

I went looking for appropriate Dilbert cartoons with Elbonia mentioned, to reference the software quality you're about to experience, read about 50 of them, and then remembered they aren't very funny.

I was thinking the same thing but, in all fairness, Rockstar San Diego employs no actual cowboys, and Rockstar North likely doesn't have actual American gang members on staff. In contrast, rumor has it that there were some bullies at Rockstar Vancouver.

I, for one, think it's highly admirable that a bunch of Slovenia guys, who have never once seen a dark-skinned person in real life, woke up one morning and said "Hey, let's make a game about a cool black man."

They probably hit up the New Release section of Slovenian Blockbuster for some ideas and saw "Black Belt Jones" had just been released on Betamax and were like "Aww hell yeah!"

No, my point would only be invalid if the Elbonians at ZootFly had not hired a black dude to voice Marlon Briggs. Unfortunately, this game is so under-the-radar that it doesn't have an IMDB entry, or even a dedicated wikipedia page, so I don't know if I'm invalidated or not.

Played a couple of hours of this today.  It's cool.  Lotta fun.  I realize there isn't much difference between a game like this and say the latest Tomb Raider except for some extra polish that MB lacks.  Yet I'd imagine TR costs 20-50 million and MB cost like 2-10 million.  I mean MB is just as good as Tomb Raider for running along a scripted environment fighting dudes along the way.  Variety of enemies is about the same and variety of puzzles, turret sections, platforming seems about the same.  It really seems like the only thing that MB lacks is polish and better cutscenes (the freeze frame cutscenes were lol at first but then I started skipping them because yeaaaah they are boring and don't work).

Makes me really wonder if the industry could fix AAA game bloated budgets by just dropping the level of polish, game length and asset variety.


That's not to say MB is a great deep rewarding game.  The combat is pretty shallow (as is the combat in TR) and it could use a bit more challenge and depth to bring the combat level up to God of War at least.  But it also does a lot of things right like being speedy, player-friendly and pushes fun over realism.  Like the glowing orbs straight out of SONIC during the on-rails dodging stuff sections to indicate where to go is awesome arcade fun.  In fact, that's what the game reminds me of the most:  an arcade game.  During the 90s a game like this would've done amazing at the arcades like Die Hard Arcade and stuff.


tldr: totally fun game, too bad games like these don't sell because no one knows about them and instead games that cost 30 million more to make, but aren't any deeper or better sell millions.

Finished the entire game today.  Haven't played a full game in 1 day since like ZoE2 in 2005!  But Marlow Briggs was fun, moved at a quick pace, and I like GoW type games. 


Overall it's great.  The graphics are really good!  Lots of great looking environments.  The combat gets a little better and there's some good boss fights (liked the final boss), the writing is AWESOME.  It's not consistently A++, but there is sooooooooooo much good banter between Briggs and the Mask.  Like some of the dialogue is probably the smartest self-aware comedy writing I've seen in a game in ages.  Plus Briggs is just awesome and he shouts cool stuff like MANSLIDE when he does the rockslide magic and I'm like OH MY GOD DID HE JUST SAY MANSLIDE??  Good checkpoints everywhere and there's a very neat little miini-game bit that was pretty unexpected but cool.  You'll know when you see it.  The ending's great too.  Length's just right at around 5-6 hours.

On the downside, the game actually does suffer from the same game design flaws that God of War types or just videogames in general tend to have.  The game has a lot of HP tank enemies (BIG GUYS/BIG BUGS) and the last 1/3rd of the combat scenarios are just putting lots of big boring enemies at you at once.  The combat gets pretty repetitive by the end ones because of it.  Likewise, the game repeats the same "sliding down the lane" and other mini-game bits over and over and the instant fail deaths get a bit old.  The camera can be iffy on some of the platforming and the end credits mini-game is THE WORST THING EVER.  Like, why would you end your game and give the final impression to the player with a mini-game that is pure torture and horrible as horrible gets.  Really tries to sour the experience and is stupid.  And yeah, the frozen-in-place cutscenes are terrible.  I get they had no cutscene budget but there had to be better ways to do the cutscene transitions.  I ended up skipping all of the ones like that so the story would be even more jump-cut-y and I'd have no idea what was going on half the time, which somehow made it even better.

Also the game is odd in that it totally rips off stuff straight from Uncharted, God of War and Tomb Raider, yet it also has SMART CREATIVE additions like SWIM DASHING and being able to convert enemies to your side (which for some enemy groups is faster to just turn them all than fight them all).  Half the time it feels derivative, the other half the time it seems like it actually wants to be a serious good original game.  Seems a little lost in that respect.  The game reminds me of 50 Cent Bullet in the Sand to the point I'd call it 2013's 50 Cent.  It's a super competent and executed fun and silly game that's extremely derivative of the genre it's apeing.

But yeah, as a fun God of War meets Uncharted meets Tomb Raider 5 and a half hour action game it's as solid as it gets.  It's not just a B game, it's a B++ game.

I wish this game had a new game+ so I can jump in and destroy everything maxed out and blow through the game in like 2 hours.  The dialogue is so good and it's such a fun little adventure I actually wouldn't mind replaying it.  Rare for a game these days.  But game's still stuck in my head and was fun and I want more.  Also the Saints Row Pierce VA connection is great if you play the game as if it's Saints Row canon Pierce side adventure.  His banter with the mask is pretty damn Pierce lol.

It would be cool to try out all the weapons on the earlier levels but now I've got a better grasp of all the combos I'm still able to fly through everything on hardcore.

I'm about 3/4 the way through it. Whats crazy is that NO ONE has got 400/400 yet. Me and some others at x360a are working on a collectibles guide, but some of them are darn hidden. If I get through the game without finding all of the collectibles, I might email the devs.


Did you manage to find them? Those little buggers are far too well hidden.

I dunno if I'd want to play hardcore just because of few of the meat shield enemies can be pretty annoying.  Hate the assassin type berserkers, they rush you and do tons of damage.

got sidetracked with other games (GTAV) :noah

How did you find Hardcore? It wasn't too tough but there were a couple of tough encounters with the larger enemies backed up with lots of smaller guys. Also, the last boss checkpointed me with a tiny sliver of health left, so I had to beat his first phase without being hit once  :'(

For the most part it was pretty tame. Was probably getting through faster than I was on normal until I hit the brick wall of the two big guys accompanied by two princesses that recycled as you killed them. Finally cleared that bit when I worked out that the ice blast spell could send the giants off the edge. Can't imagine how long you must have taken on that final boss with the way he'd randomly start stringing a couple of attacks together at the end. I was far too impatient to keep an eye out for them for that so I'd just leap in and take an occasional knock, but then I had some health to spare.

Oh, and for anyone that has some of those editor's choice coupons on amazon, I think this is going to work out as about $2.50 when it goes up.
