Malicious Critic Reviews

Malicious is by no means perfect, but it is one of the most entertaining downloadable PS3 games I've played in a while.

The game consists of six repeatable boss fights with atmospheric pictures and sounds, while a world and story around it is sorely missed. Nonetheless you get a good amount of entertainment for a fair price.

Unfortunately, when you have finally managed to settle into Malicious' gameplay and the game presents itself from its best side, the fun will be over before you have even appreciated it enough.

Malicious is a well packed action game, and though it's not free from flaws, it's still enjoyable for those looking for a decent, cheap, downlodable game.

It's an attractive game, too, its painterly art style and creative enemy design sullied only by the occasional drop in performance and that persistently unhelpful camera. If wrestling with the right analogue stick is no one's idea of a good time, such frustrations are worth enduring for a daring and sometimes exhilarating boss rush.

Malicious is a fresh, hardcore arena action game, packed with some very inspired graphics and sounds. There are only six stages, but they can be very hard to beat, both for the hundreds of enemies you'll find in there and the awful camera.

Malicious is an interesting title that offers a different gameplay compared to the classic action game. Some technical problems limiting its potential.

The game has an interesting artistic design and quite an original gameplay concept, but it has its limitations, lacks a tutorial and becomes simple and repetitive soon.

Malicious just isn't a good game and it's not worth your time. And that's too bad, because Malicious certainly had a lot of promise. It just doesn't deliver.
