In the end you are entering into a game that achieves a goal not commonly found in titles this gen. Witty, well spoken dialogue, an engaging storyline (if not a little cheesy), and the perfect blend of difficulty mixed with action. Even on low difficulty with aim assist this game provides a challenge to newcomers to 3rd person shooters. For those seasoned vets, pump up the difficulty and disable assists and you are in for a treat!
Cuguy · Mar 20, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewSEGA is well known for its great arcade gaming experiences and Binary Domain shows why it's still one of the best in the business after all these years. Despite the lacklustre online multiplayer that’s been tacked on, the explosive campaign’s action packed set pieces will constantly find your finger squeezing on the hammer one minute and tugging on your emotions the next with its diverse cast of likeable characters, as they fight to right the wrongs of morality towards mankind.
Christopher Ingram · Mar 20, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewDespite this, the games story is engaging and manages to keep Binary Domain much more interesting than it could have been. So for this reason alone, Binary Domain may be worth your attention. Whether it is a rental or a purchase it will ultimately depend on you but I do not believe Binary Domain packs enough of a punch to pull people away from Mass Effect 3 or Gears of War 3.
Shad Forsyth · Mar 18, 2012 Reviewed on X360Read full reviewThe online is like every other shooter, and that's the problem. Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, a horde mode, and few other standards—not very imaginative, are you? It's smooth playing online, so it's done well enough. There, another good thing about a shooter from Japan. Does that make you happy? Wait, don't I get any last words? Everyone can stand constructive criticism, right? Well, that's a very cold gun barrel. Can't we even warm it up? Last words… OK… it's not bad but not worth paying full price.
Kevin Schaller · Mar 12, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewIf you enjoy action games with quirk and charm, I can’t recommend Binary Domain enough. It has all the hallmarks of an unpolished gem — except it’s actually polished. Compared against the obvious Gears of War titan, it pales in online offerings, but I’d still recommend it without hesitation. If year-long multiplayer isn’t a must-have for you, get Binary Domain and blow the shit out of some robots.
Lawrence Sonntag · Mar 09, 2012 Reviewed on X360Binary Domain puts its best foot forward but the experience steadily unravels, failing to make good on its potential. The gameplay is sound at its core, but suspect AI, plodding boss fights, and a heavy-handed plot all stand out as flaws that should have been eliminated before mass production. As is, this interesting prototype could be worth examining--just don’t expect it to attain peak performance.
Game Trailers · Mar 08, 2012 Reviewed on X360I was extremely surprised by Binary Domain. Whilst it doesn’t start particularly well, it soon picks up and provides an interesting story and a group of likeable characters that aren’t your typical marines/soldiers. Yes, the multiplayer isn’t inspiring in the slightest, but the single player campaign more than makes up for this, and no doubt by now the game can be picked up for pennies anyway.
Dan Lee · Mar 08, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewMy only hope is that Binary Domain sells enough copies to justify the release of a second title as I would be curious to see where they take the characters and stories next. With some further streamlining, refinement, and innovation, with particular attention paid to the multiplayer, the next installment could be amazing. In the meantime, I would recommend players give Binary Domain a look.
Vivas Kaul · Mar 06, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewSo Binary Domain is a bad bet for the multiplayer aficionado, but for those looking for a shooter campaign with a refreshing vibe, it's a very good choice. The variety and destructibility of the enemies, the intriguing and well-paced environments, and the lively and colorful cast all combine to make Binary Domain an enjoyable and energetic success.
Chris Watters · Mar 05, 2012 Reviewed on PS3, X360Read full reviewBinary Domain is definitely a very solid third-person shooter, and while it falls short in some areas, there's enough variety in the meat of the game to make it worth a playthrough. If you're a third person shooter fan, you won't be disappointed with Binary Domain's gameplay. Those also looking for an in-depth examination of humanity and robotics, on the other hand, might not be too impressed.

About the game
Regain control of a futuristic Tokyo from an emerging robotic threat in the year 2080. The story starts when Dan Marshall and his squad are sent to bring the robotic community under control as they begin to infiltrate society and slowly take over undetected, leaving humans redundant in their wake. Fighting through the derelict lower levels of the city, players control an international peace-keeping squad that soon starts to question their surroundings and the choices they make. Are the robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines?
