Review: Fracture

dimeford | October 04, 2008 | Reviews | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

Blend Games gives a run-down of the upcoming Lucas Arts and Day 1 Studios shooter Fracture. See what they thought of the game's mix of terrain deformation, gunplay and puzzles before you buy it when it hits stores this week.

Fracture depicts a world split between two warring sides: the Atlantic Alliance and the Republic of Pacifica. As a game, Fracture is also split two ways: it's simultaneously a very conventional third-person perspective shooter and an energetic action-puzzle game. It's a very awkward pairing, unfortunately.

I played the demo and rising/lowering the ground really got old fast, and that seems to be "the thing" of Fracture. The graphics are nice, but that's about it. I think I'll pass this one.

Doesn't seem to be anything special. Strange that you mention the graphics, because of what I saw they seemed pretty plain.

The games biggest and obviously most prominent feature should be an addon for already released, popular multiplayer shooters..

Its a good gimmic but hardly worth the price of admission for an entire next-gen game for it. Very dense when you look past the ground moving feature.

Wow yet again I want a game that no one else seems to like lol

I played the demo and enjoyed it.That may be because I don't play many games like this.

I will be buying this game.

I'll probably rent it to tide me over until PES2009 comes out.

I loved the terrain raising and lowering. Weapons were OK, story was lame from what I saw in the Demo. If it drops down to $15 used or something like that I might pick it up in the far off future.
