I played this game for a couple of hours earlier today. Before playing, I had pictured a cute and cuddly version of Manhunt. I wasn't far off; you do get to cause general mayhem on a wide assortment of Care Bear wannabe's. So far, the game play has been enjoyable, but I can see it getting a bit repetitive after a while.

My one big complaint so far is the camera. At times, the camera seems to be playing a different game than I am. It will get hung regularly behind walls and doors. Granted, you can recenter the camera with a single button click, but when fighting an enemy in a doorway you will want to break your controller in two.

The camera problem is not a deal-breaker, though. I started to adjust to it as I played more. Overall, it's a good game, although I think the price may drop fairly quickly. Pick it up when it's $20.

A few people have already said that this game is kind of a love it or hate it. And before I give my take on it, I have to say that it's not so much that I hate it, per se, but more that I just found it incredibly boring. And I PRE-ORDERED this game, I thought it looked insanely fun, and the idea that you are a teddy bear that goes around murdering other teddy bears just sounds really funny and entertaining. The only reason this game earns two stars in the fun department is because the animations of Naughty Bear killing the other bears with various weapons is entertaining the first couple times.

The good:
-Cartoon violence
-Narrated by an Englishman
-Happy music, which juxtaposes the murder in-game

The bad:
-Narrated by an Englishman (who says the same things over and over again when you kill bears)
-Repetitive
-No plot

I have never really played a game before that I thought was boring. Usually no matter how one-dimensional a game is, I can put up with it for ten hours or so until it's over. I have never just wanted a game to be over, in my entire life. And that's talking about a lot of video games. But with this...I don't know. I just expected a lot more from it. I guess I'm just a little shocked that the people who took the time to make this couldn't see what a mediocre game they were making. Again, this is just my opinion, but the fact that absolutely nothing drives the story (or lack of) is a deal-breaker in any genre. You just kill other bears. And that would be enough, if they allowed you to do it in fun and creative ways. There are numerous ways to kill the other bears, but when each level consists of killing all the bears, you're going to run through all of the weapons available, and you're going to keep seeing the same kill animations over and over and over again. I don't know how people can find that fun for more than fifteen or twenty minutes at a time...but I suppose there are.

Do not spend $50 on this game. If you really want to play it, rent it. And if you buy it, don't spend more than $10. Naughty Bear looked so cool, such an original title, and then for it to essentially fall right on its face is a huge letdown. People might say I just don't get it, that the killing is an ends and not a mean to that end, that topping your high score by playing repeatedly is what is really the most fun part of the game. But for me, I could barely stomach playing each level once.

When I saw the preview for this game, I was excited on the prospects of being a serial killing Teddy Bear (a la Manhunt). Overall, it didn't exactly deliver as I suspected, but I still enjoy it. I agree with some of the complaints from other reviewers on the repetitiveness of the levels, and I have also had some camera issues where it gets disorienting after the kill scene is played. But when you really get into a groove and begin a string of mayhem, it's pretty fun. Some of the reactions of the other bears to your rampage and some of the kill scenes are downright HILARIOUS!! For me, this isn't a game where I play it for a couple of weeks straight to finish it since there isn't a overall storyline that you need to finish. I've been playing it off and on for about a month now and I find that just popping it in for a change of pace is pretty enjoyable.

Overall, a pretty cool game taken in periodically. I also agree that this game isn't really worth it at full price. If you can get it for $20 or less I'd say snap it up, if only to have something to play when you get burnt on Halo, COD, GTA, etc.

This game is truly remarkable. Not remarkable in the sense that it is ground breaking or that it brings anything new to the table; remarkable in the way that it was released as is.

This game could have been a lot of fun. The premise is hysterical. The gameplay is, well, frustrating to say the very least. The camera angles are abysmal, the controls are clunky, and the overall polish of the levels is lax.

If you spend any money on this title please make sure its nothing but a couple dollars to rent it, other than that I would suggest that you stay far away from this game.

While I can agree that the game gets a touch repetitive, it's still alot of fun. Heck, almost all games get repetitive after awhile. I think the camera is a bit distracting, but the game overall is fun. I like the different weapons and the different moves to kill the teddy bears. It's adorable! I am not a heavy gamer but I play often enough and I find some parts of this game challenging. Mostly I bought it for the concept and I am having fun playing it. Would you like this game? Other types of games I like are Oblivion, Limbo, Red Dead Redemption, Brutal Legend, etc.

I waited for this game to come out. I found out this game gets very boring after a short time when I got it. I like and enjoy this game, but it gets very boring. I played the game a couple times and then I stopped plying it because of the boringness that came from it. I have not played the in months. I cannot believe I spent $50 dollars on this.

Lol! this game is funny in a twisted 12yr old kinda way. it was fun for like an hour before i moved onto the next game. If u have money to burn give it a shot but its not that great all in all.

I really like this game, its a lot of fun. Where it is violent, there is no blood & gore, just stuffing flying. I am very much enjoying playing this game, its not the usual type of game I would play, but a lot of fun.

The game basically looks like a fluffy, comical version of Manhunt. Which is why I purchased it.
The game is fun and quite entertaining as you test different weapons and objects to see their effects.

However, after you have seen what everything does the game gets very repetitive and pretty boring.

Overall, while the game is fun for a while, it will probably be a purchase you end up not finishing just because it isn't that much fun in the long run.

This game is so funny but not for kids.Make sure to take the time to destroy as much as possible.
