GOAT SIMULATOR REVIEW

FORMAT : Xbox One and 360
DEVELOPER : Double Eleven Limited
PUBLISHER : Double Eleven Limited
RELEASED : April 17th
PRICE : £7.99

This week I’ve mainly been playing Goat Simulator, that’s right folks you heard correctly.

Developed and published by Double Eleven Limited on Xbox One and Xbox360. Goat Simulator is the latest in next gen goat simulation technology. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a goat, indulge in goat like activities or even lick another goat. Then you came to the right place.

Goat Simulator is all about causing as much destruction as you possibly can as a goat. The best way I could describe it would be if you take Tony Hawks Pro Skater replace the skateboard and Tony with, yes you guessed it a goat. Instead of tricks it’s all about wreckage with style for example doing a back flip whilst head butting a basketball through a window is going to earn you big points, as is doing a manual (walking on your front legs). Link a few of these together and there really are no limits.
When I say no limits that’s exactly what I mean as Double Eleven Limited have deliberately left all the non game crashing bugs in game you’ll soon be bugging into walls, ceilings and even cars. This sounds totally horrendous but actually works well, making a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously even more fun.


Can't be bothered reading the text!, Check Out the video review.

When I first got behind the horns I started in the first of two medium sized physics based environment in which I had no clue as to what I was doing. Before long, exploring and interacting with the environment led to more and more hilarious and entertaining things to do. Everything from treadmilling, licking a hand glider, riding a bike and even back flipping in a zero g warehouse. Before I knew it I was the goat, totally engrossed in this crazy goat world.

Achievements wise Goat Simulator weighs in with a full 1000g pleasing all you achievement hunters out there, the achievements are fun and varied and do require a bit of exploring, however you hard core gamers are going to find getting the maximum 1000g not challenging at all.

At first I thought Goat Simulator was going to be one of those novelty games that will soon disappear to the bottom of your games collection gathering dust. This was until I played the multiplayer split screen with one of my friends, It was one of the fun most ridiculous gaming sessions I've ever been a part of. I could see everyone enjoying this experience from adults having a beer together to an entire family hanging out, regardless of age. There's something there for everyone to enjoy.

I’m going to give goat simulator a score of eight and a half out of ten, a unique game that doesn’t take itself seriously. For less than ten pound your going to have hours of fun. Give goat a chance people. Baaaaaaaaaaah !

Thanks for the read Lethal Bizzle. Good work.

It's such a divisive game this. I've never played it so can't comment but it will be nice to get everyone's views on it.

No offence Ackter and I know you didn't mean anything by it but to simply post a conflicting opinion from another site when someone's spent time on a review could be seen as dis-courteous. If you'd have made a comment about Lethal's work it wouldn't have been so bad. I know you were just offering up the other side of the argument And it would have been totally normal on TA, but it doesn't really fit here. We try to be more respectful. I'm not dis-regarding other opinions of the game; It would be good to have that discussion still.

Anyway, hope this doesn't upset you. It's meant with the best possible intentions.

Nice review Lethal. Bought this last week but haven't had time to try it yet. It does look fun so will give it a go at the weekend.

Well this game is currently live on Games with Gold.

Downloaded it this afternoon, and started playing, in what seemed like mere moments an hour had passed. And I was still bouncing jumping and butting everything in sight.

A look at TA soon had me knocking out 1 achievement after another. Although I do believe there are a couple of very hard cheevos to get the full 1000Gs.

I'll no doubt keep bleating away at it until it either drives up the wall, or I run out of working controllers.

Enjoy Kids...

I've had this for months but never given it a go. I have a week off work in two weeks time so I will be able to get a lot of gaming in and try this.

You can get most of the cheevos knocked out in about 4-5 hours. But the Flappy Goat mini game is horrendously bad (and yes that is the hard/annoying achievement).

Boooo, that's a pity Minks, its quote fun for a while. But I'm bored of it now. And think I'll resign myself to the fact that I'm not gonna max it. That last cheevos is pure evil.

Yup, not a good one for motion sickness people. Bunny had the same issue as well! I think that is one of the reasons I became addicted to ESO. I don't get motion sickness from it, ever! Where as every other game eventually makes me feel a bit queasy Sad

To be honest though the camera point of view is terrible in this game, it regularly jumps position for no apparent reason.
