What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Pariah certainly isn't committing any real gaming crimes in what it's doing, but suffers a harsh fate for coming out just on the cusp of the next generation and looking like a tired me-too effort that does virtually nothing that half a dozen other similar games haven't already done far better."
"The game simply can't make the act of firing a weapon interesting, and this plagues every mode in it."
"I'd hoped for more from Pariah. But in the cold light of day it's simply another FPS that falls halfway between memorable extremes."
"Gamer's opinion of Pariah will probably change vastly with their expectations. While the game promises many of the same features of the best shooters on Xbox, it doesn't quite meet them terms of quality. The single player game is enjoyable but it is over quickly and the driving and rail shooting elements are substandard. The online modes and map editor will provide gamers with a ton of content, but I don't see this game replacing my current Xbox Live standbys. FPS junkies who are wowed by pretty visuals should give this game a spin."
"Pariah may not be the next step in FPS gaming, but it holds its own against any shooter in the Xbox library. The single-player campaign is mindless, action-packed fun, with a few setbacks in the way of enemy AI and issues in tying the story together. The upgradeable weapons are a blast (wow, bad pun), and the online multiplayer may not have the depth of Halo 2, but its just as fun."
