Inversion

No summary available

A bad game? Not really: just an underwhelming one. Your pulse may quicken occasionally, but your world is unlikely to turn upside down.

Rip off as many awesome game mechanics as you'd like, but at least make it fun.

The graphics are pretty uninspired and just pretty much ass all around. There is one part of the game during the twist showing you were in space the whole time gave you a look at all the domes and the ships which was pretty neat to look at; it’s a shame that the moment lasts a minute before you continue through the door. The game does have a serious frame-rate issue constantly, even when there’s no action, tons of texture pop-in, screen tearing, and these weird white rays that flicker around the place. I was able to install the game on the Xbox and it did help a bit, but not by much.

Inversion is a trite, third-rate shooter whose one saving grace is that it's so bad it's funny.

It’s never satisfying to condemn any game but it’s hard not to with Inversion. There are glimmers of nice ideas within, but the water is too muddied to see them clearly. All that’s left is a bunch of mechanics that we’ve all seen before, and better implemented elsewhere.
