Critics Consensus: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Theatrhythm Final Fantasy a new music game celebrating Final Fantasy's 20th anniversary.
Final Fantasy has changed a lot over the years. Similar to last year's Sonic Generations, Theatrythm Final Fantasy is looking back at all the Final Fantasy games through the power of music. Big surprise,because every review has a positive score. Gaming Age called it insanely addicting. Polygon loved it. IGN loved it. EGM loved it. Seriously you will love this game. The only complaint in the reviews were IGN who called the RPG elements wasted.
Overall get this game. If you are not a Final Fantasy fan it will still be fun though.


Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy is rated E10+. 

Critics Consensus: The Amazing Spider-Man


NOTE: This post will be more complicated then previous one's because this is a giant release for the movie industry. So why not have a giant post?
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is The Amazing Spider Man the newest movie in the Spider-Man franchise.
Plot:
The Charlotte Observer said that the plot and and action stay right in balance in a good way,and The Chigaco Times praised that the story was told with detail even though everybody in the world knows the origin story of Spider-Man. Some critics hated the plot such as the Boston Globe who gave the only negative review saying that it was uninspired with a 38. So Spidey's story is here once another time but it is not overwhelming mediocrity. 
Acting:
Empire and NPR praised Andrew Garfield's acting as Spider-Man. Empire did also praise Spider Man's love in the movie which is Emma Stone. Lastly The Boston Pheniox said that the supporting cast was good even though they thought the movie was crap.
Special Effects:
Culture Catch loved the 3-D and so did Time Out. Most critics did not really talk about the movie's special effects or 3-D but according to Time Out and Culture Catch it is though.
Overall:
Spider Man's newest adventure is better than Spider Man 3 but does not live up to the expectations of 2002's Spider Man. If you are a comic book fan you will probably love this movie and if you do not like comics you will like this movie. So go see this movie though you may be rolling your eyes at a certain scene in the movie.

Trailer:


The Amazing Spider Man is rated PG-13.
