Capcom\u2019s new IP, Remember Me, is releasing this week, and can hopefully breathe some new life into a market saturated with shooters and numerical sequels, but is it living up to the hype?<\/p>\n

Remember Me is sitting on Metascores of 72, 70, and 66 for the PS3, PC and Xbox 360 version respectively.<\/p>\n

On GameRankings, it\u2019s a little different, with the PS3 version having 75.33%, the PC version having a 75% and the Xbox 360 version trailing with 63.17%.<\/p>\n

Check out what the critics are saying about the ambitious new game:<\/p>\n

GamingTrend<\/a>: 9.3\/10 (PS3)<\/h3>\n

\u201cAs the credits roll on this 11 hour journey, I\u2019m pleasantly surprised to see such a great title come out of a brand new studio. The team at DONTNOD Entertainment have brought something unique to the table, giving us not only beautiful graphics and incredible sound, but also a new combat approach wrapped around a very engaging storyline.\u201d<\/p>\n

EGM<\/a>: 9\/10 (PS3)<\/h3>\n

\u201cStrikes the perfect balance between narrative exposition and gameplay. With expert pacing, the game offers an engaging cyberpunk story blended into a solid action-adventure that\u2019s equal parts brawling and platforming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Remember<\/a><\/p>\n

Gamespot<\/a>: 7\/10 (PS3)<\/h3>\n

\u201cRemember Me is a good game loaded with intriguing ideas; here’s hoping that its sequel, should we ever have one, rides these ideas to greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n

IGN<\/a>: 5.9\/10 (Xbox 360)<\/h3>\n

\u201cA likeable, even admirable game that tells a deeply personal story in a thoughtfully-fashioned world populated by richly detailed character models. But ultimately, it failed to challenge or excite me as a game, as all of its best ideas are confined to its overarching fiction rather than its gameplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"remember<\/p>\n

VideoGamer<\/a>: 4\/10 (Xbox 360)<\/h3>\n

\u201cRemember Me is nothing more than an entirely forgettable tour de farce of archaic game design. Its horrific dialogue, sickening camera and regressive combat are major blips in a title that poses one major question: was this game worth releasing?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Escapist<\/a>: 6\/10 (PC)<\/h3>\n

\u201cRemember Me doesn’t do anything outright terrible, but neither does it come together as something truly great either. An interesting big idea sci-fi setting can’t hold a whole game together; it needs to be coupled with equally interesting gameplay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Remember<\/p>\n

Gamespot<\/a>: 7\/10 (PC)<\/h3>\n

\u201cWithin Remember Me, there’s an outstanding game struggling to be set free, held back by a story that never takes off and claustrophobic levels that never allow the fantastic near-future setting to take center stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vandal Online<\/a>: 7.9\/10 (PC)<\/h3>\n

\u201cIn general terms, Remember Me works, but it’s extremely easy and the new ideas and mechanics don’t offer a remarkable addition. We would love to have a sequel in which all these issues are polished and fixed because the universe Dontnod has created is full of possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Remember<\/p>\n

Seems like the current reviews are all across the board for Remember Me. Well, we\u2019re excited to get some more time with it after MyGaming got the chance to go\u00a0hands-on with Remember Me<\/a>.<\/p>\n
