Krautscape
SCORE: 65
Krautscape
has been the most anticipated racer to come out on the Personal Computer
this year. It has an amazing look that would work on a home console. And
that is probably where Krautscape should have been released. Sorry PC
gamers this one would have worked better on the Wii U, PS3, PS4, Xbox
360, and Xbox One.
Family Friendly Gaming was told Krautscape plays better with the Xbox
360 controller. There is one problem with that. We have tried to use our
Xbox 360 controllers on the PC. They won't work for us. Research told us
we need a special - very expensive version of the Xbox 360 controller on
the PC. This brings up one really important question. Why isn't
Krautscape being released on the Xbox 360?
Another important question is - why doesn't our PC controller work with
Krautscape? Why does any of this matter? Because playing Krautscape with
a keyboard is like looking up in the sky while it is raining (keeping
your eyes open) and hoping you get no water in your eyes. I would have
more luck trying to chop down a petrified tree with a dull axe.
The game developer can not expect everyone is going to have one specific
controller to play their game. Obviously the gamers are not being
thought about. After buying a game we do not want to be told to go buy a
certain controller. Or the game is absolutely unplayable. Nothing ruins
a good looking and good sounding game more than poor controls.
There are so many wonderful ideas in Krautscape - like flapping those
wings, and gliding. Yes this is a driving game. But we also get to fly
for short distances, and place track while we are racing. Krautscape
would be so much better if the controls were more inclusive.
