So, upon playing the game i've decided the following things -

The humour is humerous. Blowing the limbs of the Mils is amusing...at first. Krunks expletives are amusing...and continue to amuse. The game is repetative...and upon realising just how repetative it was, made me want to mount an angry Hippo.

The first few levels are good, though i found the speech quality in the cutscenes to be rather bad. Not the acting quality, that was good, just the sound. I could barely hear what was said. But after a while the game gets immensely repetative and i just wanted to complete it. Something i couldn't do within 5 days, because of the length of the game, which is good! Well done. More games should be this length. But more games should be better than this.

I've never really understood the whole hype, and at first i was like "Wow, yeh, this is quite a good game!" but that slowly drifted into a pit of lyingness. I ended up thinking to myself "You know, this game really isn't that good. The quirkyness of it is, and it is fairly amusing. But all i'm doing is shooting things. Over. And over. And over. Again."

Because of this i would give Glitch a big 4/10. It disgusted me. It lured me into a false sense of "yayness" and then proceeded to beat me with a 12"...erm...Salamander.

So bruised and weary i took the game back...and got a "credit note" (bloody Gamestation, not giving cash refunds) and i will now await until a game i'm confident about comes out. Yes.

This review could be better, yes it could, but i'm tired and distracted, so it will continue being this crap, each time you read it. Yes it will. Bitches.
