The city needs saviors and only masked vigilantes will answer the call.

2.0 out of 5 stars Quick Cash In Made With Little Effort, November 23, 2009

This review is from: Watchmen: The End is Nigh - Part 1 & 2 (Video Game)

What's the first thing a company does when they know that they have a huge hit on their hands? How about try to rake in a few extra bucks with the least amount of effort put in? That's the way that Watchmen: The End is Nigh plays. The game looks beautiful, the characters are rendered in stunning HD graphics and the environments are too. These are the only good things that the game has going for it however. The gameplay is boring and tedious. The combos do not vary much and new techniques learned do not feel beneficial since simple button-mashing still suffices. Constantly throwing opponents works better than anything else, along with attacking them while they are on the ground. The later special moves feel unresponsive, and as stated earlier, do not vary a whole lot. The AI is rather slow as well resulting in easy encounters with dull enemies. There might still be fun within this game, seeing as I still played it despite these flaws, however I would not recommend anyone to buy this game unless they absolutely loved the movie, like I did. If you're a major Watchmen fan then you can definitely get past these flaws otherwise I say to please save your money.

Wathcmen the end is nigh is basically a streets of rage beat em up which in this game it works watchmen the end is nigh parts 1 and 2 that was once a dlc but is now a disc form of the game the story takes place before the movie not very sure about were it takes place before the comic book
Pros of the game
- You get to play as Rorschach or night owl and get to experience there different fighting styles Rorschach i think is the best of the 2 only because he can use weapons
-Its is way cheaper to buy it on Xbox 360 and ps3 than Xbox live and PlayStation network
-You can play co-op with a friend but only split-screen
-It has both parts which makes the game last long both parts has different story lines which make them different than each other but part 2 is shorter than 1
-It is very fun to play this game it has different power ups and combos for each character to knock out enemies
-Every level has different paths so it would separate the two and change game play
-Every level has different enemies and different ways to fight them so game play never gets old

This game for me was very fun and awesome diffidently money well spent which for me i only spent 10 dollars which cost way less than a dlc if you dont really like beat em up then you wont really like this game i would recommend that you watch game play to see if this game is for you

I was excited to play this game after seeing the movie, but I was really disappointed. The environments all look the same and there are only a few kinds of bad guys. To sum up the whole game you walk around and beat up bad guys. Not much of a plot besides that.
