Who this game really appeals to are families with young children who don&&num;8217&semi;t want their kids playing the more mature online titles&period; At a reasonable price with a decent amount of content this title could be hours of fun for your children&period; For the average adult gamer who by now is used to playing a more polished experience&comma; Fluster Cluck will not be the next game you platinum&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2014&sol;10&sol;05064746&sol;3&period;jpg"><img class&equals;"alignleft wp-image-68099 size-medium" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2014&sol;10&sol;05064746&sol;3&period;jpg" alt&equals;"3" width&equals;"300" height&equals;"168" &sol;><&sol;a>   <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2014&sol;10&sol;05064737&sol;41&period;jpg"><img class&equals;"alignleft wp-image-68100 size-medium" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2014&sol;10&sol;05064737&sol;41&period;jpg" alt&equals;"4" width&equals;"300" height&equals;"168" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;strong><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong>Gameplay&colon;<&sol;strong> The main issue with this title is not the half-baked &lpar;or is it fried&quest;&rpar; story&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s the overall lack of execution on gameplay&period; Our main gripes come down to the controls and wonky camera angles&period; Flying your little spaceship is not as easy as it sounds&period; Often times it felt like our ship was being tossed about a wind current and therefore we lacked the ability to control the ship when sudden movements were needed&period; One would think engaging in combat could solve a lot of any games ills but unfortunately in Fluster Cluck combat is woefully unsatisfying&period; The only way you can tell if you&&num;8217&semi;re actually making contact with your opponent is if their ship starts to catch on fire&period; We&&num;8217&semi;ve played a decent amount of low budget indie titles where at least the shooting was somewhat spot on to make the experience somewhat enjoyable&comma; sadly that is not the case here&period; The most egregious mistake has to be the wonky camera angles when in split screen&period; Often times your ship is so out of view that you have next to know idea where you are and where you need to be&period; LOOT Entertainment has a fun premise on their hands but gameplay is in desperate need of refinement before this title could be considered playable in co-op mode&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong>Conclusion&colon;<&sol;strong> When it comes to developing on the PlayStation 4&comma; Sony has opened their arms to any and all&period; A question I often ask my podcast co-hosts is do they prefer quality or quantity when it comes to their gaming library&period; Meaning the Xbox One has less options but maybe slightly more quality&period; Where the PlayStation 4 has a vast array of options for the ravenous gamer&period; A consequence of allowing most titles on your platform is you sometimes get mindless filler content&comma; like Fluster Cluck&period; While there is fun to be had here&comma; the overall experience is lacking next-gen polish and is diluting the overall &&num;8220&semi;Greatness Awaits&&num;8221&semi; experience&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
