Rating: Summary: this is a great game............... Review: Based on Todd McFarlane's comic book series, Kiss Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child is an entertaining, if uninspired, First Person Shooter. There are better budget FPS available (Serious Sam, for instance), but The Nightmare Child will provide for a few hours of gibbing.Although the game engine is an older version of the Lithtech engine, it does provide for some colorful environments, and the much-touted "HORDE" technology does allow for many enemies on screen at the same time. Gameplay is fairly simply: through four acts, the player takes on the roles of four different "KISS elders" (the celestial, the starbearer, the demon, the beast king) in a standard shoot everything that moves environment. Along the way, the player picks up various pieces of KISS armor and weapons. Strangely enough, the musical soundtrack does not feature any music by KISS. KISS fan or not, The Nightmare Child is a fairly entertaining, if mindless, diversion.

Rating: Summary: It might be good..if I could open it! Review: I don't usually offer reviews but this game is frustrating me. I finally got it loaded, set my keyboard to my favorite keys and was ready to go! Well...I "went" a couple of times. Once I quit the game and then went back, it wouldn't load! I'm going to uninstall it and reinstall, just to give it one more chance. The main problem is, I just finished Clive Barkers' Undying and American McGee's Alice. These two games are excellent! I was sad when I finished. In fact...I still go back to Alice. No game can compare to the eerie, unsettling, enchantment that it offers. The bottom line is that KISS Psycho Circus is not impressing me at all. In the future I will stick with EA Games. Perhaps, if I get it to work, I will come back with a better review. But it still won't hold a candle to Undying or Alice.

Rating: Summary: THIS GAME STINKS And ...! Review: I have played some bad games in my life....but i have never played one this bad! who thought of this lame game anyway? kiss is one heck of a band....but the game...!
Rating: Summary: Great Game Review: If you are a Kiss fan this is just the best game ever. The engine works really nice and the characters are great. Enjoy your new game.
Rating: Summary: Actually worth the money Review: In spite of the many "professional" editorial reviews, I found the game quite entertaining. The AI is about equal to Quake and the graphics engine (LithTech, I believe) looks very good, except for the holes. A hole is a space in the engine where surfaces don't quite come together and I "fell through" at least two of them. There are a few places where you can see the "edges" of surfaces and some of the enemy's actions can extend through walls. Watch out for "foot traps" that unintentionally prevent you from moving. In spite of all this, gameplay is quite acceptable, imagery is excellent, and the game is devoid of "dumb jumping tasks." Be sure and use spectator mode to take a look around each level.

Rating: Summary: THIS GAME SUCKS Review: Its the worst game i have ever played, flame me if you must, but i just think this game is terrible
Rating: Summary: Stunning graphics, great gameplay, cool plot, but I'm no fan Review: KISS Psycho Circus The Nightmare Child is a great game. It has amazing graphics, a good plot, the smooth gameplay and engine, but I'm not fan of KISS! I never liked KISS and never really will..but this game is soo cool that you don't need to like KISS to get interested in this game! I love this game but I still don't like KISS. I'm not saying they're bad, but they don't amuse me. On the other hand, this game absolutely does! Order it today and enjoy a fast paced, rock n' roll, thrill ride of the YEAR 2K! -Carlos Jr. aka JC Denton
