505 Games

The Short: The problems with this game run rampant- pointless objectives, terrible A.I., and even worse targeting systems, but the overall point of the game is its biggest flaw.

Naughty Bear isn't an enjoyable game. It's got camera problems, logic problems, gameplay problems, and altogether just problems. The only thing that it does well is it shows why parents should understand and pay attention to ESRB rating systems so some ignorant parent doesn't let their young child play this game and develop into a sociopathic monster. This game sounded decent. Even the cover art made this game look cool.  But that couldn't be further from the truth.

Without the meaningless back story, Naughty Bear is a sociopath. The world Naughty Bear lives in- is decorated and colored like a preschool TV show. The other teddy bears that he walks around and kills resemble teddy bear versions of Teletubbies. Even the narrator sounds like the narrator from the aforementioned TV show. Naughty Bear is well... naughty, so the other bears don't like him and don't invite him to parties. Because, you know... he's kind of the crazy serial killer of the community. I mean, why shouldn’t you invite the guy who might kill you to your party?

So Naughty Bear runs amuck in what amounts to be a toddler TV show. He goes through the meagerly constructed levels stabbing and maiming the other bears viciously. The only favor that 505 Games did in the violence department is they made the Teddy Bears lose stuffing instead of blood. It doesn't make it any less sick, it's just a small favor.

The problems with this game run rampant- pointless objectives, terrible A.I., and even worse targeting systems, but the overall point of the game is its biggest flaw. They could have made something dark with darker textures, characters, a different engine, and altogether just a different game. Instead they went the way of ironic dark, and it fell flat. A lot of things could have been done different with this game. Really just too many to mention.
