  1. Everybody loves Daikatana! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5 · on Daikatana Sucks: It's Official

    Everybody loves Daikatana! Look at all these great reviews:

    • Sharky sez it rawks! yeah right
    • FiringSquad: "It is absolutely inferior in almost every conceivable way."
    • Damage Gaming say: "I gave it a 3 out of 5, and that's generous"
    • CTNews: "in the end all I got was frustration"
    • GameSpot gives it a 4.6 out of 10
    • DailyRadar: "Ultimate Gas Hands. Need we say more?"
    • GameProWorld damns with faint praise: "It's not that bad."
    • Computer Games Online gives it 1.5 stars - "amateurish epic lands with a spectacular thud"
    • PC.IGN: "It's finally here. And we reviewed it. What? What else do you want us to say?"
    • Honest3D - "You all know that I didn't enjoy Soldier of Fortune - well I liked it a lot more than Daikatana."
    • GameCenter gives it a 3 out of 10: "Daikatana is a waste of your time and money. Go play Half-Life again instead."
    • Happy Puppy: "It'll make you wish it never came out at all"
    • GameZone actually seemed to kind of like it
    • GameSeek really did like it! "f I had to describe this game in a word or two I would say that it is most entertaining!"
    • Ingava didn't hate it all that much
    • Game Revolution: "[A]lthough the game is nowhere near as good as it was promoted to be, ... it is not the worst game released this year. It is, however, stunningly outdated and mediocre."
    • Maximum PC: "Four years for this?... It sucks. It sucks big-time. In fact, it sucks so bad, we have to wonder what kind of curious monstrosity the developers could have created with an eight-year product cycle.
    • GameFan: "It's not as bad as you think."
    • PCGamers.Net: "Final Score: 70 out of 100, and I'm disappointed. Sigh."
    • GamePig: "Daikatana isn't a bad game, and was often fun to play. However, it's got several flaws that kept me from really enjoying it."

    If you're at all curious about how the hell this happened, GameSpot has a great article called "Knee Deep in a Dream: The Story of Daikatana" that gives all the gorey details. They also have a complete walk-through, though the concept kinda makes me shudder...
