Ripten 1-10 Review Scoring Breakdown
10) Freaking Amazing - I’ll sign over my first born for a chance to be in the same room with this game. You could crap yourself while playing, and still never get up off the couch — yes, it is that good!!
9) Great game, one of the best of its kind. Innovative and flat out fun to play. Exceeds and or delivers on all expectations.
8) Very good game. Some flaws but nothing you can’t live with. The overall experience was worth the price of the game. You may even consider playing it from time to time even after you finish beating it.
7) Good game. More flaws then you would like in a game at its price. Measurables start to really come into consideration here. Some expectations are met, but a noticeable amount are not. Worth a shot, but you may want to consider renting before buying.
6) Marginally enjoyable, this game may have a very narrow audience or very noticeable flaws that could and should have been resolved. Flaws all but wash out the game’s great moments, but that’s not to say that it doesn’t have its share. Game was promising but fell short. Seriously consider this game as a rental only.
5) Overall, a flawed game with few bright moments. Slightly enjoyable at times but mostly a drag. Measurables such as graphics are either very bad or not enough to makes up for what the game lacks otherwise. Rent it, don’t buy it, make a statement that you demand a better gameplay experience.
4) Who thought this was a good idea? One or maaaaybe two bright points, but that’s it. Lacking in many many areas, so much so that even decent measuables will not help this game. A game like this may still have supporters but they are clearly the minority. Possibly mismartketed or often just a miss completely. This game can not be recommended and you should rent at your own risk.
3) Crap! Crapola! This game MAY have one redeaming quality, but you would never know it as the crap surrounding it overpowers anything and everything this game could ever have hoped to be. Measureables are poor and will leave you longing for a good boardgame. Not recommended, and if you rent it the store clerk may never look at you the same way again.
2) If a major publisher put this out, their days are numbered, sell their stock immediately. If given to you as a gift, seriously question that persons decision making ability. Game is terrible on a number of levels. Immensely flawed and not worth your time. A viable alternative if your only other option is to set fire to yourself. Don’t rent this, in fact games this bad shouldn’t even be available for rent.
1) Horrible from start to finish, this is not a game, its a medieval torture device. Graphics and all other aspects make you want to throw up in your own mouth while playing. If murder was legal, you may find yourself considering hunting down everyone associated with this poor excuse for a game. Complete garbage, shame on the company who allowed this to see the dark of night, let alone the light of day! Stock up on soap, because you are going to want to bathe after playing this one.
