Perfect Weapon Review

Richie Shoemaker

Mediocre games do not do themselves any favours by making comparisons with games like Tomb Raider. This beat 'em up may have a couple of similarities - one being a liking for the mass slaughter of wild animals - but Perfect Weapon is lacking in so many departments that its star, Blake Hunter, wouldn't last five seconds against our Lara.

The graphical viewpoints across all five worlds are disorientating, and though there are a fair number of moves, the controls are unresponsive. After five minutes I actually found myself switching between gamepad and keyboard depending on whether I was fighting or exploring.

As an action game, Perfect Weapon is slow. As an adventure it's dull, while as a beat 'em up it's very limited due to only catering for the single player. Guns would have made it more fun, and the experience would have been over a lot quicker as well. Avoid.
