We don’t do scores on RPS, but sometimes we mourn for the inability to deploy a 7/1. The ur- score, the most double- edged of critical swords, the good but not great, the better than it deserves to be, the guilty pleasure, the bungled aspiration, the knows exactly what it is, the straight down the line. One score that can mean so much. There is one particular type of 7/1. You know the sort. Bit of shooting, bit of jumping, exaggerated explosions. Protagonist who would fit the name . I really do hope the stalwart developers of stalwart 7/1. They are legion, and some of them are brilliant even though they could not, in good conscience, be scored higher than 7/1. There is Good 7/1. Bad 7/1. 0, you see. A bad 7 is a game that was much- hyped and much- anticipated but fails to live up to early promise. A bad 7 is a game made with the expectation of 9s and 1. I’m going to be mean and suggest the majority of the Assassin’s Creed series for that, or the 2. Tomb Raider reboot. A good 7 is one knowingly made to be a 7. An action game with no ideas above its station, no attempts at Big Messages or narrative ingenuity or post- modernism or groundbreaking mechanics. These, then, are RPS’ favourite Good 7/1. Brilliantly, perfectly average action games, this hobby as unadulterated adrenal escapism. Avalanche, 2. 01. The game which inspired this feature, as I only just began playing it in earnest. Avalanche’s sandbox post- apocalypse title suffered somewhat at the time for standing in the tall shadow of Fury Road, the preposterously propulsive fourth Mad Max movie, but now it has a chance to breathe it stands out as the best contemporary example of the Perfect 7 I can name. Tons of space, crunchy fights, fast cars, great environments, wonderful skyboxes. Mindless destruction writ large. By and large has a strong understanding of how not to waste its players’ time. A game you cannot necessarily justify playing for dozens of hours, but a game you don’t feel awful about yourself playing for dozens of hours. Go forth and destroy. Score: 7/1. 0 Rebellion, 2. The other game I had in mind as the ur- 7 when writing this. Rogue Trooper never quite excels, but it never meaningfully fails. As a straight- up action adaptation of a war- themed sci- fi comics character (from 2. AD), it’s hard to ask more. A couple more missions, more escalation of difficulty, yes, but what’s there is a true- blue Good 7, with a solid mid- line of open violence and stealth, fun toys, appealing characterisation and an appropriately lean story. Rogue Trooper feels like the work of 7/1. Action Game experts, and I honestly do mean that only as a compliment. I feel real sadness that I’ll never know where Rogue Trooper might have gone with a sequel and a bigger budget. Score: 7/1. 0 Relic, 2. Possibly cheating ever so slightly with this one, as there’s a strong argument to be made that it’s a Bad 7. Expectations were high, and many stars seemed to have aligned: Dawn of War dev Relic making a third- person action game in which you got to make a Warhammer 4. K Space Marine squish a gazillion Orks was the wish- dream of a great many PC gamers of a certain age. What we got was probably more humdrum and certainly more repetitive than what we fantasised about, but despite its somewhat hollow nature it’s achieving much of what a good Good 7 should: meaty combat, ceaseless appetite for destruction, a certain amount of escalation, non- cerebral sci- fi setting (Only War!) that fits the mindless nature of the game and, yeah, that simple joy of making pretend monsters fall over forever. Score: 7/1. 0 Saber Interactive, 2. Our first first- person entry here – third- person is the 7/1. FPSes with the same sort of ethos and execution absolutely count. I’m going on memory and can’t guarantee that it hasn’t aged appallingly, but certainly at the time this was yer quintessential Pleasant Surprise. Timeshift had seemed as though it could only be a mess from afar – delayed, redesigned, a (to me) memorable press briefing in which a brash developer had bellowed “who the fuck cares about puzzles?”, and a stylistic hodge- podge of generic- looking sci- fi. Somehow, it all fell together, having dispatched its higher- minded time- control ideas in favour of simple, slick pauses, slo- mos and rewinds with which to get the drop on tricky enemies. It is a Good But Not Great Shooting Game With A Gimmick. In a way, it was a precursor to the slick, focused, modern- yet- old- school action of Machine’s latter- day Wolfenstein games, although it’s simply too ordinary to hit those games’ high notes. Score: 7/1. 0 2k Australia/Marin, 2. I know, I know! I was as disappointed as anyone that 2. K’s initial attempt at an X- COM reboot went through various vague and didn’t- quite- get- it designs before settling on a fairly straight- up third- person shooter. Move past the sense of insult and the Bureau is not, in fact, anything like a disaster. It’s a 7/1. 0 action game with many of the traditional problems of a 7/1. Don’t think of it as X- COM (a sting lessened in any case by the fact we have XCOM, which is at least turn- based strategy game even if it does depart hugely from X- COM) and you get a third- person shooter with strong retro- sci- fi visual style, some absurdly elaborate environments (clearly leftover assets from earlier, more ambitious designs), oddball weapons and a nice line in simple squad controls which make surviving incredibly tough enemies feasible. As an XCOM game, this is Bad 7. As a third- person action game, it’s Good 7. Score: 7/1. 0 United Front Games / Square Enix London, 2. Or “that GTA one in Hong Kong, wossisface, y’know, there’s kung fu and lots of sunglasses”, as I tend to describe it, which rather reflects the fact it’s a perfect 7 and nothing more. Sleeping Dogs is a sandbox shooting, punching and driving game which is both hard to outright praise and even harder to complain about. If you want a GTA- like that isn’t characterised by the mean- spirited characterisation and humour of Rockstar’s titles or the whack- to- the- max excess of Saint’s Row, can’t go wrong here. Score: 7/1. 0 High Moon Studios, 2. There are so many terrible Transformers- themed third- person action games, so a Transformers- themed third- person action game which can be summarised as “yeah, fine” is the Citizen Kane of Transformers action games. Fall of Cybertron has a clear love of 8. Though being set on the Transformers’ home planet of Cybertron costs us a sense of scale, at least it spares us the disappointment of another Earth- set game in which you’re not allowed to squish puny humans with wild abandon. Score: 7/1. 0 Double Fine Productions, 2. The first in our Hall of Average that’s more about thwacking than shooting. There’s also a case to be made that it’s Bad 7 not Good 7, but I think it’s hopped categories over time, now the massive expectations around The Next Game From The Folk Behind Psychonauts has died down. Also, what keeps it a 7 is that it’s a very much a game of two halves: a joyful, metal- themed, cameo- littered button- mashing romp with wild visuals for the first few hours, then a well- intentioned but misjudged sorta- strategy game in later stages. Have a wonderful time for a couple of days then slip away, basically. Score: 7/1. 0 Various developers, 2. I’m surely putting words into developers’ mouths here, but I am convinced that this is the only 7/1. Action Game that sincerely wants to be a 7/1. Action Game. Profoundly stupid, impossible to defend on any meaningful artistic level, always, always the same, and with a rich streak of self- awareness about it. EDF is the game you play when you just want to shoot a load of things and not be interrupted by anything else – or feel that the game wants you to be thinking about anything else. The series has seriously suffered for doing the same thing over and over again, but it remains a go- to 7/1. Score: 7/1. 0 Ninja Theory, 2. Admittedly something of an oddity in this list, as I rather suspect Enslaved desperately wanted to be a 9/1. High culture inspirations, beautiful art, layered characters, Something To Say – but all attached to a wonderfully fluid jumpy- thumpy game which essentially impeded its other intentions. But it is beautiful and it feels great in the hand, so to speak, and a fine example of standard action game concepts being wielded by master craftsfolk. Score: 7/1. 0 Volition, 2. One of the working titles for this feature was . Red Faction: Guerilla is an exemplar of that: a sci- fi third- person shooter with loads of destruction, an open world with vehicles and strongholds, and a brown environment peppered by explosions. It doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is, and as such could never suffer from the . You 7/1. 0ed so very well. Score: 7/1. 0 Ubisoft Paris, 2. Sadly – or perhaps mercifully, as my memories might be way off – this early- noughties shooter isn’t available for legal download yet. Despite being perfectly ordinary in most respects, it made waves at the time for its then- striking cel- shaded, faux- comic art style (doing Telltale long before Telltale) and for starring the bemused voices of David Duchnovy and Adam West. I must admit, I feel a slight nostalgia for more innocent times, when we didn’t expect quite so much of our videogames and a fairly rudimentary, entirely linear, vaguely Bond- esque shooter with prettygraphics and loads of environments but nothing to say about anything seemed like a big deal. Naturally, I would go mad if all our action games were like this today, though. Score: 7/1. 0 Flying Wild Hog Software, 2. Something of a prototype for Flying Wild Hog’s later Shadow Warrior remake (which is a 7 to me, but Adam unabashedly loves it so I’ll pretend it’s elevated above this category for his sake), Hard Reset is mindless robo- bothering in pretty places, with half a mind on old- school shooters in the Nukem idiom.
