Default Re: Dr Who the Eternity Clock .... ermm kinda sucks

The impression I got from seeing bits of it was that it didn't look very polished. Perhaps they didn't do a lot (if any) play testing with people who had no connection with the making of the game?

This one you have to buy right? Because with the old ones they too looked a bit scrappy but then they were free so you weren't expecting a Call of Duty or Final Fantasy from them!

EDIT: It seems you're not alone, it's getting poor reviews all over the place!

You didn't pay the full £29.99 for it though surely? It's always worth giving new games a bit of time to see how they settle in - you may find it in the bargain bin for £5 soon.

Anyway here's a review:

Another from the Guardian:

Guess the best DW "game" is still that old Doom WAD with the Daleks, Cybermen and VOC Robots.

Nah just 13.99 and i still feel cheated

also good to see that both reviews picked up on the Cyberman bit that got me so worked up .... guess they didnt play as far as the "keep a silent in view at all times" section now thats frustrating beyond belief
