Fairytale Fights (Xbox 360)

Fairytale Fights received mixed reviews, with a 51% average score on the Xbox 360 format on Metacritic. Some critics were more positive about it, such as Games Master magazine in the UK, which called it "a likeable, if slight, slice of gory Brothers Grimm gaming". However, many sources were considerably more scathing. IT Reviews said that "the dodgy controls combined with some awkward camera viewpoints, plus the overly repetitive levels, slowly sap much of the joy from the experience".[3] GameSpot went further, criticising the game's lack of pacing, lousy boss fights and "shallow, repetitive combat".[4]

A considerable number of glitches marred the Xbox 360 release in particular, leading to less than positive reviews before the much delayed patch was eventually released.[5] Until the game was patched, several achievements were unobtainable and multiplayer was severely affected, something which has now been remedied.

Andy Eddy of Team Xbox also added that Fairytale Fights's "annoyingly bad game design" held it back from being a better game. Eddy went on to say "Sadly, [Fairytale Fights] gimmicks aren’t strong enough to maintain the game across its entirety."
