Aaron watches the Watchmen on their 360 excursion, but is this a game worth downloading?
To grab it, youll need to fork out a whopping 1600 MS Points.
Is it worth this outlay, though?
Actual gameplay consists of the familiar 3D scrolling beat em up fare.
Moves and abilities above standard attacks are different for each character too.
He can also bull rush his foes, ramming into them to slam them into walls.
Rorschach is the faster of the two, but also the weaker when it comes to basic attacks.
This lets him make use of such skills as stun grenades.
The core of the game is the combat.
Despite its incredibly repetitive nature and total lack of variety in enemies, the game is oddly addictive.
Every little detail is present, right down to Rorschachs ever-changing inkblot mask.
These semi-animated scenes are excellent, and serve to complete the games comic feel.
The soundtrack is also great, with some epic music, and decent voice acting.
Theres no denying thatWatchmen: The End is Nighcould have been so much better than a hugely simplistic scrapper.
In the end, what we have is essentially a very enjoyable tech demo.
