Secret Invasion Adele Ankers But almost too big. The latter is accompanied by a red fog that dims the screen and a garbled, sinister murmuring. Elsewhere there are similarly eerie flourishes of sound, but the game's occasional spot of music is nothing special. Amy isn't a short game, but its length will vary hugely according to your talent and tenacity for mastering Amy's lethal foibles, since checkpoints are infrequent, and there's no way to save mid-chapter.

You could clear it in six hours, but you'll more likely take 10, and if you don't finish a chapter in one sitting, you can't even restart at a checkpoint--you are whisked back to the beginning of that chapter. The sixth chapter ends with only a minor plot payoff and sets up the story for Amy II with a baffling optimism you won't share for Amy's future.

Amy has some interesting ideas, not least the pairing of a fight-averse female lead with a fragile but powerful little girl. It's a pity these aren't enough to sustain it through hours of substandard survival horror. Upvote 6 Leave Blank. About the Author.

Genre s : 3D Action Adventure Survival. One of the worst games on Xbox Live Arcade. This so called "horror" game fails on so many levels. The camera, the controls, the animations, the puzzles, the checkpoint system - everything about Amy is less than acceptable.

Amy is just painful to play. Edge Magazine. Worst of all for a game hoping to sell itself on scares, Amy is never frightening. Instead, its horrors are derived from the game's shoddy execution, weak puzzles and frustrating play rhythms, a nest of poor game design decisions through which disappointment, not fear, are hatched.

Worth Playing. Amy is the special kind of bad that rarely comes along, spoken of in the same breath as Superman The plot is incoherent and unenjoyable, the characters are bland and unlikeable, and the setting is poorly established. The gameplay is broken and awkward to a degree that would be inexcusable in , let alone It's as though everything the designers came up with was carelessly implemented just to aggravate you.

Guess what? It will. The main offender here is easily the gameplay, which alternates between frustrating and boring. The controls are clumsy and unresponsive, which in a different setting wouldn't be as aggravating, but when paired with lethal foes and unforgiving environmental "puzzles" leads to constant misery.

Amy purports itself to be survival horror, but the only surviving you'll be doing is trying to make sense of the muddled gameplay mess laid before you as you're "scared" by the same gimmicky frights, like bursting gas pipes and falling portraits, over and over again.

AMY is just bad, full stop. At Microsoft points, it may look like a bargain. But all you get for the money is grief. Planet Xbox This is one of the worst games of the year, and we're not even at the end of the first month yet.

It's poorly realized and a huge technical failure, and no one — not even die-hard survival horror fans — should touch it. Someone banish this kid to a private school and never send her my way again. A disgusting joke of a videogame There is no justification for releasing a game this unapologetically loathsome.

Eurogamer Sweden. Amy tries to be a survival-horror game, but fails on most accounts due to tiring trial-and-error based design decisions which strip away any horror elements due to the repetition required. One possible, redeeming use for this game could be in treatment of gaming addiction, since any prolonged exposure is sure to guarantee aversion towards video games as a whole.

Eurogamer Germany. You could compile a massive list of all the shortcomings and outright failures Amy has to offer, but the message to you should be clear: Stay away! Official Xbox Magazine UK. Amy is a travesty from start to finish, a game that plainly admires but fatally misunderstands its peers. Save yourself an infinity of soul-crushing distress, and forget you ever heard about it.

Metro GameCentral. Even being paid to play it we felt we were being ripped off Awful in almost every possible aspect, this hugely disappointing download is not just a failure as a survival horror but as a video game. Gaming Nexus. Do not buy Amy. Do not play Amy. Do not look at Amy. Do not think about Amy. If your sister is named Amy, move to another country, and tell people your entire family was eaten by racist wolverines.
