Has anyone downloaded the game? Is it good?

It's a good solid game. Nothing groundbreaking but there's a review here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.199612-Doctor-Who-Adventure-Games-City-of-the-Daleks-Review

I didn't like it *hides*

I thought Matt Smith was great as always and I really liked the idea behind it, but for some reason it never really grabbed me.

That is how I have felt throughout the whole of the new series.

I really enjoyed it and thought that Van Gogh was a great character. I was almost teary-eyed at the ending. I just thought it was a really nice touch, and acted well......without the overbearing heartstring tugging of the later Tenant episodes.

I thought the story took a back seat to the characters this week. The monster was fairly useless, but the rest kept me watching.

Plus,

without Rory, Amy seems much sexier!

I think the monster was more meant to symbolise the depression of Vincent. I think that's why it was invisible.

I'm curious about this. What would you say is wrong and what would be the standard "good" episode you'd hold it to?

 

[Lt.Snuffles]

GREAT Episode. Very good, it was quite emotional. I didn't cry but it was THAT good. I'm wondering what next episode is gonna be about since the preview didn't show that much.

Cybermen m'thinks
OT: Really good episode, loved the bit at the end.

Actually..

Spoiler

The Original Cybermen show up in the double part finale episodes, along with almost every other villain from the show.

Yeah, but if you're sad enough to watch the torchwood episode (like me) where the cyberman is hidden away, there is a distinct simerlarity with the light behind the door which we saw.

 

[Uncompetative]

One word. Awesome.

Edit: I actually cried it was that good.

Flood of tears for me and my family, but then we are all unsold artists.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

It certainly struck a cord with me, especially with the end. I love Vincent Van Gogh's work, but he such a tragic life and it's really nice to see him get some sort of pay off. I thought it was a really sweet episode.

I felt like pointing them all out since all three are done by members of the Escapist TARDIS Crew group.

 

[TimeLord]

Very Very Very Very Good.

Brilliant, fantastic, molto bene!

Soddit, I'm Iplayering it and watching it again.

I remember that episode actually so I suppose it could have been but I doubt they'll have the Cybermen show up out of nowhere if they're going to be in the finale. Besides I'm not a great fan of Cybermen so I hope its something new and gruesome.

 

[Chogg Van Helsing]

i thought it was ok, but the new director and matt cant seem to pass over the awe of the doctor like david tenant did. and the monster was pretty shit :/ but von gogh was pretty awesome!

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

I think 'sweet' is the word here. It's not my favourite epidsode however.

I laughed so hard at the "If you have been affected by any of the issues portrayed in the episode..." part at the end. I know it was referring to suicide, but for a second it sounded like if you were affected by invisible space monsters...

 

[Cookiegerard]

To be honest, it was not the greatest, but that is just my opinion.

I honestly wondered if that had been ident failure like Graham Norton. I can sort of see why they did it but still... Invisible turkeys?

 

[I am Spy]

I loved it. Best episode of the series so far for me and it was great that it focused on the character of Van Gogh rather than the monster, which was simply a metaphor for his depression. For the most part wonderfully acted and shot, although Amy and the Doctor had a few shaky moments. I'm looking forward to next week, which will be especially good if James Corden pulls out a brilliant performance.

Spoiler: Spoiler about the next episode for all you Amy haters.

According to a few rumours, the doctor is stranded without the Tardis and Amy for a week, hence the renting a room, and Karen Gillan is only listed in the cast as a cameo. So expect very little of her and lots of Matt Smith and James Corden being awesome.

Trust me when I say one of the reasons I wasn't a big fan of the episode is why they needed that on the end.

Shes stuck in the Tardis for a week. It's not too bad, you get to stare at James Corden's legs instead. Right? Right? Oh okay it's not a fair trade but still.

 

[Typhusoid]

I thought it was ..... average. Definetly not as taken with it as alot of you guys seem to be.

Please don't hurt me.
