Quick Look: Spare Parts

So poor man's ratchet and clank. 
 
Gotcha.

A lego game without lego? Nothing for me.

There's something about this game that I can't stand. I honestly can't pinpoint it, but I never want to even see this game again.

I think this looks boring because of the slow as hell pacing, a lot of repetition, the bored sounding Simon Pegg (who I adore like hell, btw). It doesn't look too bad graphically, but somehow manages to look bland, even with all the crazy robots and jungle creatures. Also, a lot of repetition.
It just doesn't look like something that hooks you in.

Isn't Rock Paper Scissors?

jesus this stream is so laggy

This looks like Simon Pegg's "Garfield".

First thing I saw was "Space Pants" then I thought Death Tank.
 
I'm infinitely disappointed.

I wouldn't have known that was Simon Pegg if I wasn't told.

Boring and generic as fuck - The robot game

Just seems like something the kids would play for a weekend.

So EA thought "Hey, it's been like 5 years.  We can make that RoboBlitz game again I guess, but less.. good."

Y'know what? Simon is as justifiably here as Stephen Fry is in LBP, only there he's not an actual character nor does anyone question it, from what i have seen anyway. From what i heard here it was all good. I think it fits pretty damn well.
 
Say what you will about this game, i love the level design, eeeeeven if i could get the same outta Ratchet.

My consensus is that games need more Simon Pegg

Even the menus looks like Ratchet menus.

This looks super boring. Pass.

As a kids game it looks fine. Otherwise, not interesting myself.

Damn, I was expecting somebody to should SAMBA DE AMIGO when that tune kicked in. Great music.

Looks like a game I will not play.

This doesn't look awful.  It just looks transparent.

Jeff and Ryan humming Miami Sound Machine together was perfect.

A PS2 era platformer for 10 bucks?  Full price I would have said no way but for that price it's understandable.  Yeah the heavy tutorializing definitely sells that this is meant for kids.

Lol, thought it said Spare Pants. I need to get my eyes checked again.

Reminds me of the Lego games. Looks like some casual, carefree fun.

Nobody in their right mind calls it Rochambeau. Why is Rock Paper Scissors such a terrible name?

Oh, you mean Quartz Parchment Shears?
 
I don't mind how this game looks. It doesn't look very fun per se, but I don't think I'd mind playing it just for the visuals and music, stupid jokes and collecting shiny things. Sometimes that's all you need to enjoy a game for a little while. Some 90's throwback right there...

" Nobody in their right mind calls it Rochambeau. Why is Rock Paper Scissors such a terrible name? "

digging the music

Reminds me of Ratchet and Clank

Hearing a crude version of a jingle from Super Mario 64 reminds me of how much I love Super Mario 64

" Boring and generic as fuck - The robot game "

yeah looks okay if its cheap, maybe xbox doesn't have a lot of 3D platformers? but Mario or Ratchet would be the games to get if you need a recent platformer and have those systems. Heck the Sly Collection on PS3 would be better... Just reminds me of the days when you already had Mario and Sonic, then people went and made Aero the Acrobat.

ugh

Why did I just watch that?

" Reminds me of Ratchet and Clank "

Sort of reminds me of Roboblitz.

Only not made by Insomniac. Read: missing what makes Ratchet great. "

Not for me, but seems like a half decent game for the younger set. My neighbors have a seven year old kid who would probably love this.

good music in this game... and very similar to the ratchet and clank I feel.

I started digging the music beginning from the main menu all the way to the results screen. This rarely happens to me.

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System was pretty rad.

Oh, you mean smart humor, innovative weapon design, expansive levels, subtle tutorializing, planet hopping, buddy-cop drama, and beautiful art design?   Yeah, not so much. Still, for ten bucks, it's kinda tempting.... I dunno, something about being able to buy a third person action game through a download service for a small amount of money is still oddly exciting. Stupid brain.  "

As someone who grew up in the bay area, I can confirm that rochambeau and rock paper scissors are both very common and used interchangeably here.

My brain went through the same process.. and then I bought it. So far I am 6-7 levels in and actually REALLY enjoying the game a lot.   And online coop? Yes thank you. "

Goddamnit. Don't tell me that. I could have used this ten dollars for food.... Maybe I'll read some reviews.... Damn you.  "

      Simon Pegg approves. 

I can't believe this game has nothing to do with ratchet and clank, so many elements look soo simelar. However, unlike ratchet and clank, its got local CO-OP. So Im in!

I am getting a Naughty Dog feel to this game. Reminds me of Crash Bandicoot.

This game reminded me of that dumb NFL robot on the win screen. And now I have the NFL theme in my head. fml
