'Just a couple of button presses away from Amy on both the Xbox and PlayStation marketplaces is a little game called Resident Evil 4 that does this idea brilliantly with a girl named Ashley instead of Amy. Sure, it costs twice as much but you'll be buying and playing one of the best games ever made-not one of the worst.'

'A disgusting joke of a videogame...There is no justification for releasing a game this unapologetically loathsome.'

'Amy purports itself to be survival horror, but the only surviving you'll be doing is trying to make sense of the muddled gameplay mess laid before you as you're "scared" by the same gimmicky frights, like bursting gas pipes and falling portraits, over and over again.'

'The main offender here is easily the gameplay, which alternates between frustrating and boring. The controls are clumsy and unresponsive, which in a different setting wouldn't be as aggravating, but when paired with lethal foes and unforgiving environmental "puzzles" leads to constant misery.'

'It's as though everything the designers came up with was carelessly implemented just to aggravate you. Guess what? It will.'

'Amy is the special kind of bad that rarely comes along, spoken of in the same breath as Superman 64. The plot is incoherent and unenjoyable, the characters are bland and unlikeable, and the setting is poorly established. The gameplay is broken and awkward to a degree that would be inexcusable in 2000, let alone 2012. Not even the budget price of $10 can come close to making this remotely worthwhile.'

'AMY is choked full of interesting concepts, clever puzzles, and a truly terrifying gameplay atmosphere, but whatever potential this game has to be great, or even good, is torpedoed by the unforgiving checkpoint and save system.'

'As a downloadable title, I wasn't expecting Amy to measure up against the triple-A juggernauts of the survival horror genre. However, I was expecting a game that was at least playable and contained some kind of entertainment. Make no mistake: Whether Amy is delivered to you via download, retail SKU, direct brain wave, or retinal implant, it is terrible and should be avoided.'

'2012 may just be getting started, but AMY is already a contender for the worst game of the year. The game has no point, is extremely disorganized, and controls like three blind mice on Mars. Pretty much everything available on the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network is better than this.'

'Decent ideas can't rescue this shoddy survival horror game from its dismal fate.'

'Amy is both a throwback and a runt, with meager cult appeal. The low price point will bait dedicated horror enthusiasts tired of Resident Evil and Dead Space's recent action motifs, but the horror here comes from the code, not the context.'
