Fuck You Griptonite Games

This is one of the worst games I have ever played. Okay, in all fairness Resistance: Retribution is the worst game I've ever played but Bloodlines was one of the most disappointing games I have ever played. I thought Bloodlines would be (at the least) a good portable Assassin's Creed compared to the atrocious Altair's Chronicles. What we get, however, is a cluster fuck of a game with poor story, voice acting, a repetitive and mind-numbingly boring combat system, and a bitch of a camera that you can never seem to get under control.

So, now onto the reasons this game sucks monkey testicles, for one the camera is abysmal. The main reason is this: to move the camera you hold down the L button and use the face buttons (X, Square, triangle, and circle) to move the camera. What the fuck is up with that? This is even worse than the face button camera movement in Resistance: Retribution by adding one more button into the whole debacle. And since the game has a heavy focus on stealth and platforming you will need to move the camera a lot. However, by pressing the L button you center the camera behind Altair, but there are still a lot of times when you need to manually adjust the camera and it gets on my fucking nerves.

Another thing that drives me up the wall is the absolutely horrid combat system, because - when it comes down to it - all it is is holding R and pressing square when the enemy attacks, thus instant-killing them and making running away absolutely useless, because why run when you can kill all of your pursers in less than a minute. You can use normal attacks and throw enemies into walls but why the hell do that when you can just use the lame ass counter system. This is a very bad system and shouldn't have been in Assassin's Creed to begin with, because when you try to make a portable version of Assassin's Creed for some odd reason you also have to encompass all the bad things about the game. Also, the "boss fights" are extremely easy, all it is a fight with a regular soldier with a bigger health bar and slightly altered attack pattern.

I also have a small thing to say about the graphics: they are absolutely horrible. Normally this would not really bother me (as graphics aren't all that important) but compared to what this is trying to be the graphics don't hold up at all. And we PSP owners know the system is capable of much more, such as (although absolutely horrible) Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (and, ironically, CC and Bloodlines both suffer from a lot of the same problems).

That is all for now.
