XC Review: History Channel's: Great Battles Medieval

If you've seen the XboxCritic review of the Man vs Wild game, you'll know I claimed it was the worst Xbox game I have yet played. Surprise! I lied. This one is just as bad, and honestly, I was questioning even wasting my time to write a review for it. But, you're welcome, as by wasting my time writing this for you, I am proudly saving yours (that is if you listen to my next advice).

These words of wisdom aren't cliched, but straight to the point: Don't buy a game with the History Channel's label. Actually, don't buy a game that's a product of TV channels, like AnimalPlanet, Discovery, or History (to name a few). Why? Because they aren't professional companies...in gaming! Duh! It's not like they're in the same league of game development as Activision or Ubisoft or Bethesda! In my eyes, when a TV channel makes a game based off a hit show (e.g. Man vs Wild [Discovery] or Historical Battles [History,]) they are producing a much less appealing version of a thing you already know and like. So, when you see a game based off your favorite show, think of how bad it'll probably be and how much of your money those people that made it will get.

XboxCritic Review for Great Battles Medieval For very, very, poor graphics, gameplay, a sadly convincing box art and a point blank awkward name, XboxCritic gives History Channel's latest cry for help a 2.5 out of 5.
