story16 positive mentions
stability4 negative mentions
  • Unique gameplay involving mechs, giant alien bugs, and use of a grappling hook, offering a novel shooter experience.
  • Graphically impressive for its time, with beautiful environments and well-aged visual effects.
  • The game's multiplayer mode and single-player campaign provide fun and memorable moments, with intense combat and varied boss battles.
  • The PC version relies on the deprecated Games for Windows Live DRM, causing significant launch issues, multiplayer death, and forced complicated workarounds.
  • Clunky controls, poor story presentation with forgettable voice acting, and some unfair or frustrating boss fights reduce the overall enjoyment.
  • The game is dated with repetitive gameplay, questionable enemy AI, crashes, and inadequate support from the publisher leading to broken or inaccessible features.
  • story
    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally viewed as average to weak, often described as convoluted, underdeveloped, or cliché, with some players finding it nonsensical or poorly presented. However, a few users appreciate the likable characters and compare the narrative style to classic titles like Metal Gear Solid or '80s anime, providing some entertainment value despite its flaws. Overall, the story is not the main highlight but serves as a functional backdrop to the engaging gameplay and visuals.

    • “+ great storyline, which has similar style to Metal Gear Solid games, which made me care for characters.”
    • “The singleplayer campaign is pretty fun, with interesting enemies and environments to get by as you progress through a pretty decently-written story.”
    • “While most reviews criticize the story for being generic, because it is (sci-fi shooter set on another planet where evil corporation plans to eradicate all life in order to colonize it), the real story lies in the mystery of who the snow pirates are and what their purpose is.”
    • “The story is hot garbage.”
    • “The story is pathetic, the voice acting abysmal, and the storytelling is just awful.”
    • “After having played 2 and 3 before it, I can tell you that the story in this game is horrible.”
  • gameplay
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay receives mixed feedback, with some praising its unique concept, frantic action, and solid pacing, while others criticize it for being sloppy, clunky, or inconsistent in difficulty. Key elements like the thermal energy mechanic and mech usage add strategic depth but can also feel restrictive, and combat can vary from enjoyable to repetitive due to uneven enemy design. Overall, the gameplay blends old and new school mechanics, appealing to some players but feeling dated or flawed to others.

    • “I absolutely love this game for one reason alone: the gameplay is such a brand new and creative concept that was never explored before.”
    • “Played it for hours upon hours back on the Xbox 360, the multiplayer always offered something new and Akird Hunter is easily one of the best gameplay experiences ever to grace my eyes.”
    • “It has everything you want from a great third-person shooter: great graphics, great gunplay, cool gameplay mechanics, kind of great story, and great pacing (it's hard to get bored).”
    • “Gameplay is sloppy; shooting either feels okay or bad, enemies are spongy or die quickly and you will never know which ones are spongy or not.”
    • “Boring gameplay, lackluster story, awful mechanics that encourage you to run through as fast as possible.”
    • “Gameplay was extremely clunky at best, controls were a nightmare hybrid crossbreed between keyboard and Xbox controller.”
  • graphics
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics were widely praised at release for their high fidelity, unique style, and stunning visuals, especially the depiction of large enemies and immersive environments. While some noted graphical quirks, bugs, and that the visuals have aged over time, many still consider the graphics impressive and a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's lasting appeal.

    • “The environment is beautiful, has a unique aesthetic and style to it.”
    • “The replay value of earlier missions cannot be understated, absolutely stunning visuals and one of the best soundtracks I have ever listened to.”
    • “Arcade-y action, tight controls, resource management, big mechs, even bigger enemies (with glowing weakpoints), tons of content, gorgeous visuals, and (while it was populated) an engaging and one of a kind multiplayer experience.”
    • “Many crashes, freezes, graphic anomalies, fps drops and other video related bugs.”
    • “Dating from late 2006/early 2007, this third person shooter was praised on its release for its graphical fidelity; today, however, all of the clunkiness of the game is on full display.”
    • “So this game is alright, it has not aged all that well, the controls are frustrating and clunky and the graphics are really showing their age but I did enjoy my time with this game, at least in single player, multiplayer was doa I’m afraid.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed feedback, with some users praising it as one of the best soundtracks they've heard and visually complementing the experience, while others find it forgettable and unmemorable. Overall, the soundtrack appeals strongly to some players but does not leave a lasting impression on others.

    • “The replay value of earlier missions cannot be understated, absolutely stunning visuals and one of the best soundtracks I have ever listened to.”
    • “The sounds are nice, music is great and the shooting & fighting is good.”
    • “The visuals are astounding, the music as well.”
    • “I can't really remember any track from the soundtrack, however, I will never forget all the fun of killing tons of alien bastards and riding gigantic robots with BFG while killing other gigantic robots.”
    • “The sounds, however, are forgettable. I just finished the game yesterday and honestly I can't recall any of the music in the game, so the audio is forgettable.”
    • “The graphics, story, and music are just okay.”
  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Replayability is noted mainly through replaying main missions in different ways and additional challenges like medal hunts, though it is somewhat limited overall. Some users express a desire for more engaging, ongoing co-op adventures to enhance replay value, reflecting mixed satisfaction.

    • “The replay value of earlier missions cannot be understated, with absolutely stunning visuals and one of the best soundtracks I have ever listened to.”
    • “Has some replayability in the form of a medal hunt you can do.”
    • “Its replay value is a bit limited, mainly consisting of replaying the main game in various different ways.”
    • “Until we get fixes for the Lost Planet games they've promised, and a new Lost Planet like the 2nd game, Power Stone, Darkstalkers, Cyberbots, or a return to the beat 'em up style before Cyberbots—with ongoing adventures and replayability through new co-op missions—I think I'm done buying Capcom games.”
    • “Its replay value is a bit limited since it's mainly replaying the main game in various different ways.”
    • “Has some replayability in the form of a medal hunt, but it's quite minimal.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    User experiences with stability are mixed, with some reporting frequent crashes, freezes, and graphical issues that hinder gameplay, while others find it relatively stable and recommendable. Overall, stability appears inconsistent and may significantly affect playability for some users.

    • “I really wish I could play this but it's way too buggy.”
    • “Many crashes, freezes, graphic anomalies, FPS drops and other video related bugs.”
    • “It crashes unbearably often, freezes after playing for a certain amount of time, and does not always start up.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's emotional experience is mixed, with its multiplayer offering intense emotional highs and lows, while the story is generally seen as wholesome and engaging. However, some players find the overall tone to be cold and emotionally distant.

    • “The multiplayer for this game is an emotional roller coaster.”
    • “The story is cool and wholesome.”
    • “This game is really cold, physically and emotionally.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Optimization is limited, with performance issues occurring during intense moments, and the game is primarily optimized only for the Xbox 360 and its controller.

    • “However, the enemy AI is a little cheap and the performance is not the best during tense moments.”
    • “The game is only optimized for Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 controller.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by unintentionally funny dialogue from side characters, reflecting typical Capcom writing. While some characters have distinct Japanese-style art, others stand out awkwardly, adding to the quirky tone. However, technical issues may distract from fully enjoying the humor.

    • “The main characters are interesting but also very obviously written by Capcom because of the funny dialogue by some side characters that probably wasn't meant to be funny (I'm looking at you Rick and Luka).”
    • “The game also has the Japanese art style with the characters, except for Joe for some reason, who looks like he was modeled by a dude from Burbank.”
