Penny Arcade’s Tycho has cast an unfriendly eye towards PlayStation 3 Home, saying, “This is what happens when your marketing department tries to make a game.” He goes on to say:
There is nothing about the experience of using Home to suggest that you are actually moving through a single, contiguous environment. It is very clearly a handful of walled off zones, where you are confronted by incessant load screens in a desperate search for stimulation. From the moment you enter one of their ultrahygenic “amusement regions,” it’s clear that all life has been burned away. You get the sense that this is a place in which no interesting thing could ever happen.
His advice is clear from the start: “If you should accidentally launch it from your XMB: press and hold the Playstation button in the center of your Dual-Shock or Sixaxis controller. From the menu that appears, select Quit.”
What do you think of Home?
