Rolando scored 9.5 on IGN

[noah21c]

Even though IGN has been rating harshly, they deffentaly got this rating right. The game is amazing and it would be better with a level creator(ngmoco youll make more money!) Good for them and Hand Circus. They spent alot of time on this game and it shows. Keep up the good work!

I never trust any review sites especially IGN, Gamespot and some random sites. I always look for player reivew when purchasing game.

Yea. That Gerorge guy that did 1112 talks staight out of his butt crack. Levi did Rolando and he isnt as bad. He talks out his left cheek.

Well a 9.5 for Rolando proves that they still are!

[thinkdontpray]

while ign has been off base quite a bit lately, this review is spot on

Not in my Opinion it isn't. I can't stand Rolando

[Sainter]

there's a toucharcade app??

IMO yes it is one of the best games

But that isn't saying much

[CBraun53]

So reviews are only good when you guys agree with them?

[Everydaynormalguy]

Kind of un-related to this thread but do you guys know of any new titles by ng:booger? That way they'll lower Rolando's price to $5 to celebrate their new app's release...

@Post above:

Well duh!...

It's pretty easy to disagree with 1112 getting a 3.5/10.

The screenshots alone of that game are worth more than 3.5/10.

You can read a review and when they say things that you do not agree with, than yes you will not like that review. It makes PERFECT sense, and it's totally acceptable.

Exactly.

Maybe ngmoco bribes them.

[madsoul]

Exactly.

Maybe ngmoco bribes them.

lol. dont be pathetic.

[brewstermax]

IGN. Wow, I'm shocked that it didn't get 7-ish range, with how harshly they review there.

[aghartastudio]

Levi seems like a fair reviewer , I wish he would have reviewed 1112 himself...

[VeganTnT]

Just got a chance to read the review... It was pretty ridiculous

"Rolando also includes a very cool feature called iSave. When you press the home button to go back to work or if you have to take a call, Rolando saves your place and starts right back there the next time to you launch the game. You do not lose your progress."

cool feature? last time I checked if a game didn't save this feature it was bombarded with 1 star reviews... This isn't anything new.

It's really sad that no one is mentioning the problems with the game

In the start menu there is a "tell a friend" button and a button to take you to the ngmoco page. I don't mind these but why would you put a button that ejects you from the game right next the button that STARTS the game!?

The accelerometer controls are very shallow. tilting slightly makes the rolandos roll as fast as they can. Controlling a spikey rolando is hell on earth with left and right constantly switching and swiping up to jump regardless of orientation.

When a creature (rolando or shadow) speaks the camera focuses on them and refuses to let the camera pan away... even if you are actively controlling a rolando on the other side of the level. What's worse is that rolando continues to move while the other creature speaks.

My biggest gripe is that when you get a text message the game pauses for the notification... but the Quit Level button is right under both the Close and Reply buttons! So unless you tap on the far corners of the notification then you end up tapping through the box and quitting your current level!
