- Thanks for watching =)
Wanted Dead combines some old-school style with hard-as-nails difficulty and a side of PS2-era jank. Not for everyone, but I admit I grew to enjoy it!

![DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO - Fused Warriors Trailer [BUDOKAI TENKAICHI Series]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/84p4Lvyfyes/mqdefault.jpg)
Let's be honest... If this game launched on the Dreamcast it would be considered a classic and physical copies today would be $1000 sealed.
yes and Limited Run would be making a killing on it
Dreamcast could NEVER make graphics like this.
@@jayceegenocide4402 no shit. But the game itself and the style, gameplay, etc... Is exactly something from that era. That's not an opinion... The devs even make a point of saying it's inspired from that generation
@@nomad9752 It is more Original XBOX PS2 Era. Dreamcast threw in the towel before they developed something like this.
This game is actually okay . . I would love to see them refine this in a sequel but it's very okay to play .not the best but def not the worst either .it def fun
This game is very self aware of what's all about
This game is old skool to the core. And I fxcking love it! I know there’s been some negative reviews out there, but I’m still buying it.
Definitely wait for sale or eventual sub service drop. Shame it's not as good as it could be. When I first heard of this game it had a lot of things that appeal to me. Too bad those ideas don't come together like they hoped.
I dont😂
I'm gonna support hoping they make a more polished sequel. If you look at any good gaming series it's really hard to name one with a good debut game.
Great review, I played the first level yesterday and I loved it. Its just fun
Very comprehensive review, thanks!
Johnny must do voiceovers for other RUclips channels because I know this voice.
I swear this voice is just as iconic to me as the Honest Game Trailers guy.
I just found this channel and subscribed, so maybe it’s just me, but this channel seems to have criminally low views and subscribers.
Anyways, very entertaining and informative…as any good gaming RUclips channel should be!
Good ear! I do voice overs for a few channels in various genres. This one is my home though. Glad to have you 🙂
@@Johnnygrafx Happy to be hear. Love your style! Here’s to continued success!
Thanks for the review, looks like I will keep listening to the soundtrack and wait for a steam sale with this one.
Yeah it's a great candidate for a sale. I could also see it winding up on gamepass or PS+ at some point.
I will say that the purposefully amateurish voice acting done by the devs themselves, the awkwardly lip-synched cut-scenes and self-aware goofy dialogue was all deliberately added to further fully encapsulate that PS2 era in everyway possible and some might not enjoy those parts since they are I guess bad things about the era most other devs would not include, but I truly appreciate Wanted: Dead for being the most accurate representation of a PS2 game in the modern day even capturing the sides of the era a lot of people forget about.
I might have to buy this game and play it for my channel. It looks sick!
you articulated into words what I felt about the game. agree some of the skill tree should be available from the start as the main character is supposed to be some sort of super cop. and yes the game offers you an olive branch.. only to beat you up with it. Neko Chan mode is so tempting but the game is gaslighting me saying it's not that hard.. you just have to be better.. while I die for the 15th time.
I almost did the Nemo Chan mode but couldn't bring myself to lol.
hope it gets the update treatment cause shit looks pretty fun. Cant wait for the price drop.😬
This game is sweet . I definitely disagree with the complaints.
You said it right from the beginning. You didn’t like the game to start
I don’t know if it’s intentional or not on your part and this is the first of your videos I have seen but you sound like Don “the Camera Guy” Mayberger from PBS’s “Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations,” and I think this is an aesthetic you should lean into.
Dunno who that is but I used to work for PBS radio lol. Maybe something in the water over there.
the moment the dude mentioned SOULSTICE and EVIL WEST, i knew this guy is legit, if GUN GRAVE : GORE got a spot then it would be better, and yes, all these 4 games are on my personal favorite list and i adore them all.
I just got gungrave the other day! Haven't tried it yet but I'm excited to play it.
Goddamn this gamingbolt narrator is everywhere!! Lol. 👍 he hustling
Is it actually only around 3-4 hours long?
More like 10 for me. I think 7-8 is the average.
Had been looking forward to this, tho gameplay wise it almost feels like there is a bit of polish missing
Definitely waiting for a sale, as almost every game in the last few months/years go in a fat sale a month after release.
Just last year the deluxe editions of cod, NBA2K and Gotham knights all dropped to $40
Definitely picking this up, just not full price.
Damn Right It Is AWESOME!!!!!!
Wait did this channel steal the voice over review from gaming bolt?im almost positive this is that channels voice actor.
Nope. I am the same guy, and I do voice overs for gamingbolt, but I didn't review this game for GB. I reviewed it on my own.
😂 sorry for saying you stole your own voice.your vernacular and tone is perfect for game reviewing.I’ve enjoyed it for years now I’m definitely subscribing to your own channel.keep up the killer work brother.
All good! Happy to explain 🙂
Underrated!!
I’ll admit when I first started playing on keyboard and mouse ,it had me thinking I made a mistake buying this game. Once I switched to controller I really started to enjoy it. reminds me of God hand and it’s difficulty.
Definitely a more controller friendly game for sure
Game has potential but now it is 30€ max or pass.
Great review. Finally a reviewer who understands the game and did it justice.
Most reviewers are actually ignorant.
Are you from gamingbolt
I used to do reviews for them, but now I just do voice overs for them. Focusing more on my own content now.
I'm from germany and to sing 99 Luftballons in karaoke was the most random shit i ever encountered. But you need to be an android to hit those buttons perfect, it's harder than the hole game 😂 I got it cause i just love action games, but 60 bucks for 4 missions is more scam than every thing else. I like how they wrote ''It's a love letter to next gen" in the description, cause it's a love letter to f everything except the next gen 🤣 game is ugly, clunky and short but i have the fun of my life. We need more of those game but for god sake learn from this, make it better next time ✌️
Wie lange hast du für das spiel gebraucht? Ist es wirklich so kurz?
Wie würdest du es bewerten?
@@hamzabey5743 Es ist wirklich nicht lang.. 5-6 Stunden max. reine Story mit echt langen Cutscenes zwischen durch. Minispiele kommen halt oben drauf. Der Kampf hat schon Flow und coole Hinrichtungen. Ist halt was für Fans des Genre aber wirklich empfehlen kann ich es noch keinem dafür ist es echt zu teuer. Günstiger kann mans mal machen, bist aber sau schnell durch und es gibt gefühlt 3 combos im kompletten Spiel. Man stirbt recht schnell. Gibt auch kein anderes Schwert oder so leider✌️
I like it. I just bought it for $25
A steal!
I thought it was a good game. I don't mind throwback games. I play boomer shooters after all. Turn based combat is pretty retro too, yet no-one minds Baldur's Gate 3. I'm actually a big fan of games that are a little "off" and janky, such as the Stalker series. the Sacred series, and the Gothic/Risen/Elex series. They are generally janky, imperfect, but made by people with good intentions. Somehow that's appeals to me more than the AAA generic crap.
Agreed. I'll gladly deal with a little jank to get some creativity.
dead game not wanted ! i had too lol / i paid $48 for this and let me tell you wait for a sale $19.99 this is no ninja gaiden , defly a throwback to the ps2/3 xbox 360 era
Can we get an actual John wick game ? Not that bs called John wick hex !
Word on the street is that one is in the works
Hex was a unique take on John Wick formula. It's actually fun when you have to deal with several enemies. Just don't watch the replay.
funny game... i really enjoy it from yesterday... but...the problem is not that the game is a old school type game... the probleme is that you can make an old school game without the problems of old games..... the camera is not the worst.. the worst is the shooting... i mean we are in 2023 not in 2003 even mass effect 1 original version is better... even uncharted on ps3 had better shooting system. and the worst is that even you shoot the enemy with riffle you need 20 bullets to kill them that s stupid.... and painfull. so only use katana and grenade. even it s a game, even it s old school stuff... when you do a headshot you dont expect to shoot the head 3 or 4 more times to kill an enemy .... after the precision of rifle is just a mess.
ok we can be indulgent and say that it s the gameplay or this type of gameplay.... but the main problem for me it s that it s a japnese game and the japanese video game industries still stuck in 2013 .... graphically(sorry but for a next /current gen its ok but thats it....and they used unreal engin) , about gameplay or idea.... what did japanese provided for the last decades ? mario, zelda, ryu ga gotoku.... nice it s game from famicom or ps2 remasterd or remaked indefinitely.... final fantasy ? dragon quest same problems.... ghostwire boring, from software graphically not that good...even elden ring... on a 4k tv with a ps5 it s hurt... so the main problem is here... you can do some old style game but it s better if you do it with modern technique..
for exemple for me sifu is an old school game style but they modernized it..... why in japan we are unable to do it..(ok i know the answer)
except that the game is funny.... have a good challenge and not that bad gameplay but should definitely be better.
If enemies die from a few bullets by assault rifles, then the game would turn into a cover shooter as melee would become useless.
It's more useful as a tool for weakening the enemy or thinning out the heard before going into melee. For instance, how do you deal with the riot shield enemies with a katana? You use a precision rifle to shoot at the exposed parts to get rid of the shield or use a well placed grenade.
Same with a shotgun combo for close range enemies. With this, you can easily consistently deal damage instead of constantly relying on handgun.
Although I do agree that the shooting part has flaws. When aiming, the camera zooms in to close, making it a bit disorienting to quickly snap at enemies and then switch back to melee.
Yeah, it zooms in way too close for sure, which makes shooting nearly impossible at close range.
@@Johnnygrafx you can hip fire by pressing just the fire button, which works.
The game has terrible reviews. If some like the game that's fine but what stops me from buying it is hearing how poorly the voice acting is on top of mindless AI standing around waiting to get killed. you could play TMNT on Nintendo and have a better experience than buying this 60$ game that keeps crashing on PC.
I don't respect games that are here just to grab the money. I'll stick with IGN rating 4
I don't understand about the flat characters and bad voice acting, I love them, they bring me positive emotion, much more than the modern AAAs. Whatever you listed is not a problem at all.
@SOUL KILL3R 87 Wow a 6 great 👍 thats so much higher. I think when you can't even give a game a 7 that is bad. Do you defend Garbage?
Most reviewers don't score that way. 5 is generally agreed upon as mediocre/average. If you think everything under a 7 is bad than you are not consuming review scores properly.
Needs a sequel
60€ for this? Hogwarts Legacy cost 60€. Feel the difference.
it isn't 60€ it is 50€ rounded up.
Edit: Well it was when I got my notification email from the wishlist on steam :/
Different types of games
Hogwarts Legacy is a game you'd better be playing on RUclips though.
Naaah. I definitely wouldn't say it is good. It is a very average game with terrible checkpoints and random difficulty spikes. A lot like most PS3/Xbox 360 middle of the lifecycle games.
And at $60 I'm assuming it is going to bomb. Very badly.
After watching reviewers comepletely shitting on this game. I decided to get it on sale yesterday and i can say i like this game alot. The executions look awesome and it reminds me of a souls game mixed with ninja gaiden. hopefully it sold enough to get a sequel and refine the game some more.
Nice! Glad you're enjoying it 👍
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!! I just paid over $30 for this garbage on Playstation website, and it was on sale too. I played it for 3 hours, and it was a biggest disappointment. I deleted the game. The graphics looked SO horrible, and It felt like an unpolished EARLY PS 2 game. The game play was a joke. The movement wasn't even smooth like it was protrayed in the "GAME TRAILER!!" It felt very low quality and somewhat jerky. The aiming for the machine gun was horrible because I couldn't even see the reticle, and It took me several seconds just to locate it during a gun battle. The was NO map available, and I had to locate the boss by running around the entire location. The enemies took forever to die even with a machine gun! The developer stuffed the game with bunch of boring and slow cut scenes in order to fill up the game!! I felt like the developer was trying to make a "QUICK CASH GRAB" by producing a poor quality product with misleading game trailer and marketing!! In my opinion, this particualr game was made wtih very low budget and a sloppy development team. The company use terms like "Developed by Ex Ninja Gaiden Development Team" in order to embellish this crappy product. So sick of game trailer trying to mislead consumers, and they have the audacity to charge over $50 for this product. DO NO TBUY THIS GAME. STAY AWAY FROM IT. I wouldn't pay over $5 for this.
Agreed
