Comedies are funny movies about people being silly or doing unusual things or being in silly or unusual situations that make the audience laugh. Buddy movies often involve comedy, but there is also some emotion, because of the close friendship between the ‘buddies’. Buddy movies involve 2 heroes, one must save the other, both must overcome obstacles. These movies used to be drawn by hand, one frame at a time, but are now made on computers. Animated movies use artificial images like talking cartoons to tell a story. Adventure Movies usually involve a hero who sets out on a quest to save the world or loved ones. Action movies do not usually make people cry, but if the action movie is also a drama, emotion will be involved. One hero somehow manages to save everyone. For example, in Die Hard, terrorists take control of a skyscraper and ask for a big ransom in exchange for not killing the hostage workers. Action movies usually need very little effort to watch, since the plot is normally simple. They usually involve ‘goodies’ and ‘baddies’, so war and crime are common subjects. Perhaps it’s due to the added side plots, but the result is that the story of the game ends up being even more interesting than the movie itself.Action movies have a lot of exciting effects like car chases and gun fights, involving stuntmen.
It’s also worth mentioning that, for a movie game, Clash of the Titans is quite a lengthy experience. These QTEs are also quite unforgiving, so you’ll have to pay close attention to the on-screen prompts if you don’t want to repeat segments all over again just because you missed a single button press. Fortunately, the “sub-freezing” technique of acquiring new powers and weapons is fun enough to keep most players entertained for a while.Ĭontinuing with the game’s references to AAA hack and slash games, Clash of the Titans features some long and flashy QTE kills that, sadly, break the rhythm of the game. That distinction goes to the game’s visuals: simply put, it looks like the game is stuck two generations behind in some places.Īnimations are few and tend to repeat quite frequently, which is something that adds to the overall feeling of cheapness that the game exudes. Visual WoesĪs repetitive as the gameplay feels, that department is nowhere near the worst that Clash of the Titans has to offer. As far as movie games go, Clash of the Titans certainly doesn’t try to break the mold. The lack of a deep progression system also makes most of the action feel inconsequential. The only issue with the game’s combat is that it gets repetitive quite fast. That said, there’s a lot of extra content beyond the events depicted in the film, so if you’re a fan of the movie or Greek mythology in general, this game might be right up your alley. Mixing and matching attacks is one of the game’s main gameplay elements, but that’s to be expected from a game like this.Īs for the plot, if you’ve watched the movie, you pretty much know what to expect here. Similar to Dante's Inferno, your character has both physical and magical attacks, and alternating them allows you to perform combos that work better on certain enemies. While most games that go for the hack and slash genre usually tackle the subject with fast combat and flashy combos, this game plays slowly and with a surprisingly nuanced combat system. Hack, Slash, Repeatĭespite its similar setting and gameplay, Clash of the Titans plays nothing like God of War. Some dated mechanics make the game feel even cheaper than it is, but Clash of the Titans takes inspiration from some of the best games in this genre. As is usually the case with movie tie-in games, Clash of the Titans lacks a bit in terms of originality or solid gameplay mechanics, but at least its concept and setting make for a satisfying – albeit derivative – experience.Īs long as your expectations are sufficiently low, you’ll have a nice time with the game. Based on the movie of the same name, Clash of the Titans is an entertaining hack and slash game that closely follows the events of the film.
