Quantum Theory Critic Reviews

Quantum Theory may not be as detailed, vibrant, engaging and breathtaking as one would have hoped but it does offer a certain enjoyment despite its visible flaws.

A lame and not really challenging story combined with repetitive levels and replaceable characters are the key elements of Quantum Theory.

Tecmo's effort here in Quantum Theory is certainly interesting. While it doesn't meet the high bar set by many other competitors in the genre, it's certainly at least in the pile of good third person shooters, just near the bottom somewhere of that stack marked 'average'.

Instead of Gears' gritty realism, Quantum employs flamboyant machismo, with less impressive graphics.

In the end, though, Quantum Theory bears the terrible imprimatur of the also-ran. While it's a noble effort on Tecmo-Koei's part (this is, after all, their first foray into this genre), it just doesn't have that "oomph" that a killer action game hits you in the sensory cortex with.

Flawed, unoriginal, and dated, it's tough to look past its failings.

Quantum Theory has a lot of problems, which is a shame, because there is certainly the workings of a great game here, even if it is derivative.

We apreciate the effort to reproduce the great Gears of War gameplay, but Quantum Theory lacks in execution with with a repetitive and frustrating gameplay.

There were some promising things in Quantum Theory: its story, its narrative and even the relationship between characters. But the game has constant ups and downs, and the global result is not worthy.

Awful. A game to be forgotten very quickly.

The one major difference between the fake Calvin Kline's and the rip-off game is that you can probably get the GoW2:GOTY edition for the same price or cheaper than the imposter.

It looks and feels terribly dated, has next to no creative spark, completely lacks imagination and is certain to be forgotten very quickly.

It's hard not to admit that Quantum Theory is, by all means, the worst Gears of War clone currently available on the market. Its mediocre gameplay and forgettable narrative will in fact discourage anyone looking to experience an engaging and fast paced experience.

Dumb enemies, repetitive levels, and downright unappealing looks makes this a theory that's not worth testing.

Even if you got this game as a gift, you should return it immediately. There are far too many moments that make it unplayable. Go play Gears of War instead.

Quantum Theory looks and feels like an anime-inspired fan mod of Gears of War 1. While I'm a devout supporter of doing things right the first time, I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel that steps up its game, makes better use of Filena, and learns from the critical feedback the original received (which is nearly insurmountable at this point).

Quantum Theory is no Gears of War, although it may look like it on the surface. The game simply lacks the polish. You could call it repetitive, bland and uninspiring, but that's not enough. It is playable, but it's just not any fun.

If you have any respect for yourself but feel you must play this, at least wait until it's under ten bucks and nestled safely at the bottom of our local bargain bin.

There is no reason to pick this game up. It is devoid of any redeeming factors including the novelty of being a terrible game.

Quantum Theory can hardly be congratulated for infringing on other games, as it is hardly even capable of doing that properly. Albeit all attempts to be Gears of War, Quantum Theory is no more fun than burning $60 dollars and to be honest, burning money isn't exactly a lucrative or entertaining hobby.
