Watchmen: The End is Nigh Reviews

Surprisingly good. I have no expectation for this old game. The game length is really short, i finished the game in less than 3 hours. Combat is clanky, camera sometime make u dizzy, frame drop everywhere even on modern machine. But for 1 buck, its quite good, i like the story and its quite nostalgic for me to play 2008 game in this day.

The game Alan Moore envisioned when writing the original comic.

"Never compromise, even in the face of Armageddon" Somewhere between the late 80s and early 90s, I found my first real enthusiasm for comics and movies, Batman and the Turtles in particular fascinated and excited me in those early years. Soon after other things followed: Spawn, Give Me Liberty - Martha Washington, Bone, Tank Girl, Captain Planet and a bit later, Supreme by Alan Moore and then of course V for Vendetta and Watchmen, both of which I still love to this day. For some reason, I never played The End Is Nigh when it was released in 2009, even though I owned both a PlayStation 3 and an Xbox 360. Maybe it was because of the reviews. They weren’t terrible but I do remember seeing ratings around 4 or 5 out of 10. And yes, the game is relatively repetitive, linear with quite simple gameplay. But if you’re a fan of the Watchmen franchise like I am, this 3D beat ’em up still has enough to offer with comic-style cutscenes, fitting voice acting (Rorschach sounds exactly like Rorschach) a dark and familiar atmosphere and some very cool fighting moves and lines. „New York City, millions of soft people require millions of luxury items“

violence is so fucking cool i like when the fascist trench coat guy brutalized some asshole with a ball bat shit was so sweet therer is good an there is evil amirite?

Nostalgia wise this was a lot of fun. Trying it today? Nearly impossible for whatever reason. The camera angle is jacked up. It recognizes my one plugged in controller as 2 controllers. Anyway, I have fond memories. So yeah. Maybe pick it up on the cheap.

Punch, punch, punch, punch, punch. Zero imagination was involved when making this.

If you enjoy old school games like The Warriors, and you like The Watchmen, then this game is for you.

I enjoyed playing this game but it’s not good and it’s not bad. I kept telling myself while playing the game that the game is longer than it needed to be. You constantly fight the same enemies over and over and over again, till you hit the next part of the story. And the story isn’t even good either. It’s like a side mission where we get to see what Roshach and Night Owl were up to back in the day when they were working together. But the ending of that story was not good enough for me. Then again, anything that has to do with watchmen, and Alan Moore not being a part of the writing, is something that I should stay away from. I’m not saying that the writing is bad. I actually liked it and I liked the voice acting. I also liked the animated cutscenes. It’s just the story not being good and the repetitive fighting makes me not like this game much. It’s a very old game that I somewhat remember being on the xbox arcade. I wanted to experience watchmen in videogame form and I wanted to play a beat em up. It was an okay game. This game didn’t compel me to want to play the second game.

Loved the comic Loved the movie Hated this game Hated the series Only one lousy boss for the entire game. Shame on developers of this game and plague on their houses.

Great throwback xbox arcade game. Holds up and look great on modern pc's.
