The Grudge Flops in Famitsu Review on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

The latest scores from this week's Famitsu magazine are in, with AQ Interactive's Ju-On game for Wii not doing too well.

What's being dubbed as "haunted house simulator", Ju-on: The Grudge (Wii) wasn't received so well by the magazine, receiving 22/40 from four reviewers. Sega's puzzler for DS, Puyo 7, did a fair bit better earning 32/40.

[DS]Puyo 7 - 8/8/8/8 (32/40)
[DS]Kutsushita Nyanko: Shiroi Kutshushita wo Haita Neko to Kurashi Hahimemashita - 7/7/7/7 (28/40)
[DS]Saikin Koishiteru? - 6/7/7/7 (28/40)
[Wii]Ju-On - 6/5/5/6 (22/40)

Well, obviously, because one gives stackloads of gameplay, and the other is questionable if it gives gameplay at all.

Very disappointing to see such a low score for Juon...However, I do try to take Famitsu reviews with a pinch of salt at times.

Well... yeah. I thought this one was cool until I saw the actual "gameplay" concept... which of course is basically nonexistent. Yeah... it's a pity. Guess not all filmmakers know how to make a decent game.

Indeed.
Horror-as-a-game normaly works best when it takes the "What would you do in this situation?" question, and allows the player to play it out.

I dont know what to think of this game bedcause the films were really creepy and well made. I will have to see more gameplay trailers to see what I think.
