Men's Room Mayhem
Men's Room Mayhem
Men's Room Mayhem, développé par Sawfly Studios et édité par Ripstone, est paru sur PlayStation Vita le 22 mai 2013. Mêlant les genres arcade et stratégie, le titre porte le jeu de toilettes à un niveau supérieur.
S'agissant de l'accueil du jeu, la presse a salué un simulateur de gestion du temps surprenant, captivant et grossier. Certains critiques déconseillent toutefois d'y jouer plus de vingt minutes d'affilée, estimant que l'on atteint alors rapidement un point de rupture. De leur côté, certains joueurs regrettent que le jeu, bien qu'amusant, réinitialise la scène à peu près chaque minute au moment où cela commence à devenir intéressant, et jugent son début beaucoup trop lent.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« A surprisingly engrossing - and gross - time management sim. [Sept 2013, p.73] »
« I wouldn’t recommend playing Men’s Room Mayhem for longer than 20 or so minutes at a time, or you will quickly find the breaking point at which the game gets old. Ironically, Mayhem is the perfect game for a trip to the men’s room. »
« Men's Room Mayhem may not be the greatest mobile game ever, but it's a decent diversion if you've got a few minutes to kill, and by that low standard, it's probably worth checking out. »
« Despite the somewhat flawed core gameplay and objectives system, Men’s Room Mayhem is a good bit of fun and a good distraction for the price – just don’t go in expecting a worthy rival to the brilliant Flight Control; while that game and the title song lingered in your head for months after, this will be much forgotten much quicker. »
« Men's Room Mayhem is a quirky concept executed surprisingly well, though it won't likely have you coming back for a seconds. »
« Men's Room Mayhem has a great premise that expands upon the initial concepts of Flight Control, but the monotony quickly sets in due to poor pacing and a lack of mode variety. With a few simple tweaks, it could be a true "must have" on the Vita marketplace -- mostly given its competitive mobile pricing. But as it stands, don't go in expecting much more than a repetitive, yet occasionally fun time waster. »
« The ideal accompaniment to a short spell on the throne, Men’s Room Mayhem is bursting with charm – but its poor progression system and novelty-driven gameplay means that it ultimately pees on the potty seat. The title definitely scrubs up well, and there’s an unusual allure to its overarching concept – just don’t expect this water closet excursion to come up smelling entirely of roses. »
« It's all rather one-note. [July 2013, p.100] »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This game is fun but I think it could have better. It resets the stage every minute just about the time it starts getting interesting. It starts way too slow and you have to go through 4 one minutes stages to get to the fun ones. The mission structure is weird and you often don't feel need to finish your game after you get the mission done. It would better if you had a set amount of people to get through the bathroom instead of just surviving the time limit because you can just kind of park people at the end of the minute and cheese your way through. The gameplay is great and the controls work well. This game teases the fun more that it lets you just have the fun. Still worth the $1 I paid for it. »
