Ghajini The Game [PC Review]
Navneet Prakash, Feb 07, 2009 1000 hrs ISTNeeds a lot of fine-tuning and is very buggy
Decent visuals, good presentation
Way too many bugs, too many ads, really bad voice acting.

Pressing "R" gives you visual cues, which includes a vision cone of patrolling cops. You go in, pick up some stuff and come out, the level is very slow and not the best way to start a game. The remaining levels offer a fair bit of combat against mediocre AI, who rarely pose a threat. The gameplay jumps from sneaking missions to all-out action, to a few scripted sequences. However, this unexpected jump in gameplay is quite overwhelming. The combat is decent but with limited moves and bad animation. You do get the pleasure of picking up various items and beating the crap out of your enemies. The game isn't too long and can be completed in one sitting, depending on how much time you take to finish the first sneaking level.
I think FX labs have done a commendable job with the visuals but it's the number of bugs that kills the game. As a game critic I would say the game isn't that impressive, but I see great potential. I am sure most of you would love grilling the game and labeling it a dud, which is fair as the game is very buggy. If the developers take an original idea and give it two-three years of development time, I think they can come up with something really very good.
Overall the presentation is good, with hand-drawn animations filling the gaps in the form of a graphic novel, with the option to rewind, stop or skip, just like in Max Payne. However, there are a lot of bugs here ranging from clipping issues, sound errors, missing textures and bland level design.
The city of Mumbai has been recreated, but not very creatively. The city, in the game, feels dull, boring and empty; this isn't the Mumbai we know. There are way too many ads in the game, which can get quite irritating. The combat gets old very soon and later becomes a chore.
The game just doesn't live up to today's standard, but then again this is targeted at an audience that will never play Bioshock . I fully support the developer's effort, but I feel they should develop an individual property and give it some time, as today's gaming demands much more than mere star presence. This isn't a game that a hardcore gamer will enjoy, but if you fancy loud colors, cliched plots, unexpected dancing and singing, a.k.a Bollywood, you might give this one a try.
