IGN Reviews - LocoCycle Review (Xbox One)

IGN's video review of Twisted Pixel's Xbox One launch game.

[@LXGeneralKaos]

The Xbox One is truly the leading platform within the gaming spectrum. Microsoft goes out of their way to provide a unique never before seen AAA quality exclusive, and people fail to comprehend or appreciate the purified greatness that comes from lococycle. Which is clearly a day one purchase for me and millions of other future Xbox One buyers. We will continue to support unique arcade experiences of this top quality to remind devs that we are supporting. I am just proud along with the millions of the rocks fans that this game is not of the horrendous quality of a piss poor experience like knack. Great work and congratulations so far to Microsoft. God Bless the Xbox One and no one else. Rated E For Everyone

[@maikai196]

I'm not surprised, this didn't look very good when I first saw it, but I am surprised that this game came out of Twisted Pixel. This is the first time I've seen a mediocre game from them.

[@JoTwinSticks]

pretty sure microsoft abused them

[@OPsubwaymonster]

Comic Jumper?

[@TheSaltyRice]

This shit gets a better Score than Knack? There you go. Another reason why i give zero shits about reviews.

[@SonyHawkman]

In terms of a graphical level, it looks about as good as smartphone game.

[@BrownSugar977]

This looks like a PS2 game...

[@tonyorr890]

it's supposed to.

[@DerickZ28]

alex roberts why?

[@tonyorr890]

stonecoldtrk to create a sense of nostalgia. do you really think that the makers of splosion man would approve of the graphics if they were trying to be serious?

[@BrownSugar977]

alex roberts Plenty of games accomplish that feeling of nostalgia with good graphics, that is such a lame excuse.

[@KenAkaTheWG]

more like PS1

[@alfonsogutierrez9218]

Lococyle is a good arcade game. Who cares about graphics.

[@zander4890]

finaly someone with a common sense

[@gearschamp2]

I'm sorry, WHAT? I know Knack looks as bad as this, but how the hell is this even higher??? Not to mention how stupid I find this concept of this Spanish guy being dragged by a bike and somehow is still alive. At least Knack explains it's logic....not this.

[@unclestone8406]

Still haven't played the game to this day. I came back because... Lisa Foiles. Now I need to make a grilled cheese sandwich. Goddamn this game XD

[@CursedBrainJuice]

2:32 So THIS is what happened to Snake Plissken after Escape from LA.

[@worldsboss]

I find the art style in this game more than a little baffling... Why did the developers make it look so.... plain? The environments also look kinda empty and lacking in character. Oh well, maybe I'm missing some weird charm that you get from playing it yourself.

[@gracesmith3647]

I knew this game would suck. Still... Better than that knack bullshit

[@AndRiseUp]

TheUmbrellaCorpX7 I personally think that Knack is really boring and repetitive, and that its story is downright awful. I'm not saying LocoCycle is any better (hell, I'm never gonna play it), but I was really disappointed by Knack. To each their own, but it's because of games like Knack that I'm going to wait until next year to buy any sort of console.

[@NugsFan21]

Everybody, lets party.. GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES.. This is my new motto.

[@averagesqueaker7121]

This should be a sci-fi movie.Not a video game.

[@atomsmolecules5766]

Still better than Call of Doodie!

[@Dr.SkullScience77]

I have to say that the reviewers comment of it being a 90's homage is spot on. The first thing I thought of when I saw this game was of a Panasonic 3DO. That particular iteration of Road Rash, plus the FMV on that console. Even the graphical style. I love my 3DO and still own one, but don't want to be playing games like this on an XB1. Sorry, the graphics are unforgivable on this game and there is no good reason this game didn't come out as a 360 download exclusive.

[@reartraction]

a guy pulled for many miles by a futuristic motorbike makes me anxious, i'd better see him riding it. that's the most stupid idea i've ever seen for a videogame.

[@vascoyz800]

If i remember well ther were some xbox fans that were talking trash about the ps4 exclusives, but it seems their games scored even worse and at least ps4 games don't look like they were made for the ps2.

[@Osborne4Life]

Dead Rising 3 and Killer Instinct have scored higher than Knack and Killzone: Shadow Fall. What are you talking about?

[@TheMysticKnightX]

***** And Ryse and Forza haven't been reviewed yet. :P

[@vascoyz800]

***** not on gamespot, they haven't, and they are an xbox site so NOW THINK!!!!!

[@Sharkey3331]

Are you kidding the PS fanboys where insulting Xbox and MS for months and months while the Xbox fans were comparatively quiet Normal people reading the comments would rip their eyes out

[@vascoyz800]

Sharkey3331 They only responded to the xbox fans and they just pointed ou the facts, pointing the facts is different thant talking trash, like saying there is no talent on sony, so knack failed, that is stupid, but regardless of all that this game is still a really bad game with poor visuals, very poor visuals.

[@abhineet1993]

I wasn't expecting a lot from this game in the first place but I'll still try it

[@Babelfish112]

Graphics like this on a next-gen console? Wow

[@g2dashizal]

this looks like an early ps2 game.

[@VideoQuestEx]

I couldn't help laughing throughout this review! I had no idea the game was anything like this!

[@BIG2hats]

I'm confused, is this a re-upload from 2001?

[@mrdante361]

At the end of the game you should bring him back over the border along with his 20 brothers.

[@StarSeeker94]

Is it just me or is the motorcycle very similiar to the ones in the Tron films?

[@Soulblayze]

i didn't know Nintendo 64 was still producing games...

[@SmashGuyROA]

Too much LC hate in the comments. I personally love the idea! Also I don't see why reviewers are making a big deal about hispanic jokes when they all raved about GTAV with no mention of it's over the top racism and stuff. Look forward to this coming on Steam.

[@SilentTree12]

Definitely getting this. For some reason.

[@yaali4eva]

WOOOOHOOO! Lococycle 1080p! 60FPS! SUCK IT PSFAN BOYS. -___-

[@yaali4eva]

my SNES can handle this at 4k

[@PersonaBrazil]

see? This is why most PS4 games output 1080p. shitty grafx not demanding.

[@ComradeScrungus]

The game is capped at 34 FPS because it was designed for consoles, and it looks like shit because it was designed for consoles.

[@johnmasterchef]

Please.... someone make a movie out of this!!

[@TheSurefireGamer]

Looks like Twisted Pixel's first stumble. Though I partly blame Microsoft, who desperately wanted it to launch with the XBO when it was being made for the 360.

[@DreamStepper]

It still is on 360

[@PivotPro333]

Well... At least it's something creative.

[@AlexBo55]

They look like original xbox visuals at times

[@Azfargh]

Seems funnier rather than Octodad... although, Octodad seems more fun to play.

[@kenrickeason]

XboxOne is the real gaming console!! XboxOne hasn't had a problem reported yet but PS4 Had problems before launch and it was all true after launch.....

[@wdtnsnewsandrumours4868]

exactly like 80% of the ps4s were bricked at launch and i have yet to hear any problems about the xbox. playstation fanboys just scream "The graphics are better" wish any of them knew a thing about computers and realised the xbox actually has more video memory it just renders the textures like .05ms slower. and funny thing is my best friend is a ps fanboy and i introduced him to titanfall and now he wants an xbox

[@TangentialShark]

LOL at PS fangirls comparing this $20 arcade game to Killzone and Knack. Your AA exclusives were shit and our arcade games are shit. Who wins there?

[@BloodyBobJr]

Let me get this straight.. and please correct me. Is that guy Stuck to this Lococycle tail pipe for the ENTIRE GAME?? If so that's one of the Stupidest game mechanics I've ever heard in my life.. the guy would be dead in under a minute from road rash and just Bone crushing collisions. Does this bike make a protective forcefield around him? Does this game explain anything?

[@Highwaysonyfan87]

I think you're looking too deep into it.

[@da1z28camaro]

I think this game is suppose to be a kids game. A 5-10 year old would probably love this game.

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

GOTY 2000

[@WeirderGamers213]

Is this game worth buying?

[@demarcusshufford]

Damn knack look better. Lol i love dissing xboxone it's fun af

[@BoShhaaab]

well... this is an arcade game, why compare to knack?

[@JetpacksWasYes2]

Look at this dumbass lol

[@ClassicToonFan64]

So, if a game has variety, it has "Inconsistent Gameplay". If not, it's "Repetitive". Meh. And since it's now available on Xbox 360, I guess the "Last-Gen Visuals" con is not valid anymore, at least for Xbox 360 owners. Disagree with some points but I respect your opinion. Thanks for the video.

[@bivisbuns]

really disappointing that twisted pixel seems to have taken a misstep with this one...they're a top-notch developer, i'm willing to bet microsoft was pressuring them to push this out early to meet launch, because they've shown that they know what they're doing at twisted pixel with every other title they've made

[@johnceenaspiderman49234]

This game is better than Happy Wars?

[@dev0n285]

Omg look at those particles, motion blur and hd textures, not to mention polygons. Sure the graphics are not the best but small details are amazinggg (sarcasm)

[@Spinksickles]

This was painful to watch. Knack looked more Next Gen than this piece of shit

[@ScrubTheNub]

How does this game look next-gen?

[@11d3adly11]

Damn even this got better score on ign than knack

[@aaronjones5057]

I may just pick this up for the wacky story.

[@Godzilladad]

The cut scenes are real actors?

[@Godzilladad]

***** no really. They showed real people and not cgi. Are those the cut scenes

[@MrRaNdOmGaM3R]

because the company "twisted pixels" like using real actors in some of their games

[@daxter34]

Did he just use the words "science ball"

[@1c3cr34m16]

I thought at first that he is attached to motorcycle by balls

[@GeminiFate]

Let me put it this way, if you like Twisted Pixel games, YOU MUST BUY THIS. I absolutely love game! I was laughing so hard the whole time! It's certainly a welcome change from all the other routine bs games.

[@HZ3GMNG]

They should remake Road Rash.

[@xbloodchampion235]

this game should be one of the free ones just like KL

[@PierresCousine]

Why bring this out on the xbone? Looks like a bad port from graphical perspective

[@MRnewvegas1]

I'm done with ign. They get payed for reviews. Really this gets a solid review and so does dead rising 3 but dead rising 3 is 30fps looks like the one on 360 but just more enimies and an awful story but it gets a good grade as well. Wtf.

[@Triforce742]

Metacritic has Dead Rising 3 in the high 70s with over 30 reviews. Surely, you can't be trying to argue that every single reviewer for every single Xbox One launch title was paid off.

[@daxter34]

Triforce742 Id be pissed if I paid all that money for reviews and only got 70. This MR kid is just an idiot fanboy.

[@maikai196]

Yeah, because everytime a game that you haven't even played gets a score you don't agree with, it is obviously paid off.

[@damienscullytoo]

well there you have it a arcade game is better than a full retail priced game knack.

[@IIIGR1Z]

Still better than Knack.

[@itsbeiko]

im sorry, is this game made for the original xbox? what is this?

[@sedilesastaroth3786]

is this game for xbox one? I mean 1, I mean the black one?

[@tempestisthegame]

Wait....... this is on Xbox One? I seriously thought this was for iOS.

[@runeguy277]

Previous gen visuals? You've just insulted PS3 and 360, this looks like a atari game, not even ps1.

[@explosivepyro1375]

Why all the hate?

[@PapaKiloProductions]

Welcome to next-gen gaming

[@abhineet1993]

this game is a arcade game and free knack is more of a big decent game made with a lot of money

[@anilnuruyt]

Hats off LX General Kaos!!!

[@howardside90]

I'm sure somebody would enjoy this game, but not me.

[@Mrkarate9]

Hahahahaha still way better than Knack. Take that Sonyers.

[@Radioactive_exe]

Bullshit that this got a better score than Knack. Inconsistent review scores...

[@chronosarcanos]

Dat framerate, wtf is wrong with this machine ? Is Xbone SO underpowered or is just hard to design for it ? It seens to strugle with a lot of the games on it.

[@Gunslinger4511]

This is a "next gen" title...This looks like something from the N64

[@antoniomoreira7221]

this shit has the graphics of an early PS3 game

[@martinjez1]

It is not all about graphics...

[@uselesstuber5005]

I really want a grilled cheese sandwich now

[@StephenWalrondChance]

Looks like so much fun.

[@garion333]

Stop covering up footage with placards. Too long, too large.

[@anilnuruyt]

This game looks sooooo bad in every fucking possible way..... Xbox Exclusive which is part of the launch line up? LOL.. Both dead rising3 & loco cycle clearly suck!

[@Marcley18]

What a mysterious jogo...

[@Xale007]

The only game making we want to buy the Xbox One. Fun at is top !! this is video game !

[@MarkyDav]

Isn't this also on 360?

[@Mw2Knifedyou]

yep

[@gongal]

Graphics reminds me of Virtual Cop 1 ;_;

[@Lemondemon19]

truly a next gen game

[@TheVenty20]

This game is better than the shitty knack

[@Brecondo]

This Games Makes Knack Look Good. LMAO #StopFanboying

[@CarCrusher3]

I would 100% buy Knack over this.

[@KenAkaTheWG]

I wish i wouldve bought an xbox one..they have all of the best exclusives :(

[@KenAkaTheWG]

BTW I'm jk

[@RaPiiDBeAtZz]

And this is what £400 better looks like?

[@GTBKS]

Wow and i thought Knack was bad.

[@ianwilder244]

Heat Vision and Jack anyone?

[@Ek0I7]

damn at least knack looked good while failing lol this is just sad

[@igleni]

Oh IGN you little minx! You switched the TV to SCART! This must be a megadrive game :)

[@bjoe279]

if this game on android devices and ios devices i can accept it. but this on xboxone........

[@GangStarr4life96]

Dem graphics. ps4 ftw.

[@WWELiveFootage]

This review brought to you and paid for by Xbox One

[@ShotTotopo]

8 gigs of ram for this?!...

[@Shringa]

[@DiverKlein]

Never had the slighest interest in this game. It just looks stupid. But to see it score better than PS4 games make me lulz

[@hatsumomo535353]

are there people really playing this game ?

[@thehumansilversurfer]

This is the weak link in the xboxone launch line up :(

[@Hijynx87]

This game is a playable troll......

[@SuperThug87]
