Wii #2378 - Doctor Who: Return to Earth (Europe)

[JonthanD]

The two reviews I have seen for this game are 16% and 20% and I haven't scores that low in a while.... Now the DS version I hear is at least passable something like 60-70%

The Wii version being bad is a terrible thing to me

I have been watching the show since Tom Baker started on it and have always loved it.

About a Red Dwarf game... that could be interesting and anything would be possible. A shooter level with the Starbug but some platforming with Lister would be funny... maybe virtual chess against the ships computer Holly that would be funny. I am kind of surprised they haven't made a Red Dwarf game.

If they made a Dr. Who game, is there hope for a Red Dwarf game perhaps?

I'd love a Red Dwarf game

I have the strangest feeling that this will be terrible, for the simple fact that a Doctor Who game would work best as a multi-pathed visual novel, and that Doctor Who is something so difficult to capture in a video game, because the Doctor's adventures aren't high octane video game material. He's unarmed, and generally involved in "One wrong move and you're dead" adventures, which would make for frustrating gameplay.

Now, a Torchwood game would be amazing.

Just take a look at the gameplay, seriously...

Everything is awfull in it, it's like PSX I think... maybe some better texture of course, but nothing great.

Asylum are real crappy developers since... well... always. Their first game was Doctor Who on PC, and even that was poor. Look at their game.

Anyway, I get a "Insert Disc" Message with USB Loader.

I'm gonna be honest; This game is terrible. I played up to Chapter 3. It wasn't that the gameplay was overly hard or easy, but just so many things take away from the Doctor who Experience. It would've been GREAT had they used clips and such for the cutscenes, but that would've been awesome. And as much of a graphic whoar as I am NOT, the graphics in the cutscenes [lack of mouth movement, choppy animation, looks like it was made by a high school CG Student] absolutely kill the experience.

Oh, and then the fact that I just despise the 11th doctors actor for all that he is. [Having to listen to that voice, blech. PASS]

In all honesty though guys, this game is as bad as everyone is saying. maybe not "16 or 20%" bad, but I would rate it higher than a 3 on the scale of video games.

I rarely (that is, never) actually get Wii games. I keep wanting to, but I barely actually use it, but even if I did I'd probably avoid this game. I saw the same review Hadrian did and the sceenshots looked pretty bad. Evacuation Earth on the other hand, I might consider. I enjoy the PC games at the moment, and one wish I'd have would be for there to be Doctor Who stuff for Garry's Mod. I mean, there are some things, but barely anything, really.

As long as I acquire a Mark VII screwdriver in a few months I'll be happy (though happier if it were sooner).

Already done for a crappy mobile game.

There has been Red Dwarf games for the PC though.

Usenet and automatic RSS-loading for the win.
Dr. Who's great =)

The official video on the Nintendo site make the game look rather boring.

And Tom Baker is the only doctor worth watching!
