Hydrophobia



Now i recently got Hydrophobia for quite cheap and i completed, now a lot of people had bad opinions of this and it got a few bad reviews but i think most people forgot that this was an xbox live arcade game so it was never going to be A list. Many people found that the water physics were over hyped but when i played it i found that if there was a glass window on the other side and you were going to get attacked you just shot the window and the water rushed them off their feet, since it is only a xbox arcade game i think that is really well done. I agree with a lot of people that say it wasn't as good as it should be but as i pointed out above it wasn't going to happen, the feedback from all the reviews help Dark Energy Digital since they have potential with this. Water based games are popular due to it being a challenge and i wouldn't mind trying to create my own game with physics like this game. The game is really moody and it does well making the game dark and moody but still allow you to see were you are as you move around, the gameplay was a bit lacking and the story could of been improved but like i said the game had potential. The game used a fps format rather than sticking to puzzle platformer which i think suits it better.
Personally i would recommend this game but a lot of people wouldn't  which is fair enough since we all have an opinion
