  • There’s plenty wrong. The deeply uncanny valley of facial animation, the stilted delivery of the awkward, subtlety-free script, a clumsy UI that forces you to craft items one at a time, and please, let’s not forget that camera.

  • Mars: War Logs is the kind of experience one can only call serviceable. It exists, it does what it does, and it performs its job suitably. It doesn't do anything terrible, but it never once goes above a basic standard of acceptability. It's very clear that it wants to ape the best action-RPGs of the genre, but its too basal and hurried to pull off a single remarkable thing.

    The result is hard to recommend, with few diamonds to be found in the Martian rough. If you're willing to settle for occasional agate or topaz though, there are just enough sparkles here and there.

  • With a slightly bigger budget, Mars: War Logs could have been a great game, yet as it stands, it comes out as a mixed bag. There is great potential here for a franchise, however, and the only way to go is up as Spider Studios will hopefully iron out the flaws with the game for future releases. Flaws and all, there are worse ways to spend your money if Mars: War Logs has piqued your curiosity.

  • Where it falls apart however is in the repetitiveness of the environment, the uselessness of Roy’s otherwise interesting companions, the regularly frustrating combat, and the mostly poor writing and acting. Mars is a fairly interesting action RPG with a cheap price on its side, but in all honesty it could do with being even cheaper. A nice attempt guys, some improvement is needed. And a bigger colour palette. And a better title.

  • There are camera issues, glitches, and a general lack of polish. The voice acting is terrible and the story predictable. Combat becomes frustrating quickly.Mars: War Logs has big ambitions, but it feels like it was rushed out the door – perhaps due to budgetary constraints. The makings of an impressive game are here, unfortunately it just doesn't hold together particularly well.

  • Bastante lejos de lo que cabría esperar tras lo visto en Of Orcs and Men, Mars War Logs se trata de una discreta aventura de acción y rol con la que podremos pasarlo bien durante las diez horas que nos llevará completar la partida, aunque nunca nos abandonará la sensación de que pudo ser algo muchísimo mejor.

  • Die scheinbar interessante Erzählung wird jedoch im Verlauf des Spiels zu einem obskuren, schlecht erzählten und langweiligen Wirrwarr aus löchrigen Handlungssträngen. Es gibt bald keine markanten Charaktere mehr und Dinge passieren oft einfach so. Zudem krankt das Spiel an einer schwachen Kulisse, die nicht durch eine dichte Atmosphäre ausgeglichen werden kann und auf der Konsole insgesamt etwas unsauberer wirkt als auf dem PC.

  • Le version Xbox 360 est donc sensiblement la même que celle d'origine sur PC. Mars : War Logs dispose de décors un peu trop répétitifs, d'une trame narrative classique qui peine à décoller et de quelques quêtes lassantes, mais malgré tout, la recette fonctionne et le joueur se prend au jeu. Ses combats classiques, mais qui ne manquent pas de piquant, et son background fouillé y sont sans doute pour quelque chose, et on attend maintenant une potentielle suite de pied ferme.

  • Elles sont cependant incontournables car bien utiles pour récupérer des crédits et du matériel de craft pour se préparer aux combats à venir. Découpé en 5 grandes missions, Mars : War Logs se termine en moins de 15 heures en prenant son temps, ce qui s’avère plutôt honnête pour un jeu vendu 20€.
