If you go down to the woods today, be ready to have gouged eyes,
these naughty bears will kick your ass, and that will be your demise.
This little bear from A2M, is sure to enjoy killing men,
a teddy bear is having a sadistic piiicniiiic…

Who can resist writing a bit of original music about a game that’s based on a masochistic, killing machine of a Teddy Bear hell-bent on gorey revenge? Not us, that’s for sure.
Naughty Bear, A2M’s latest release, has you take on the role of the game’s title character, “Naughty Bear”, a teddy bear who’s the butt of all jokes on the insanely cutesy Perfection Island. But the other bears have just played one trick too many, leaving him out of Daddles party and mocking his attempt at making friends by bringing a present. He spent so long working on that present too…
Time for some furry vengeance – teddy bear style!

To be honest, the whole problem facing Naughty Bear is that the concept was just so damn marketable from the off.
Eagerly waiting gamers have been battered with funny-as-hell videos for months, using Naughty Bear’s concept and characters to create some genuinely awesome parodies of top horror movie franchises, building the game up to be an R-rated take on a nursery rhyme that every kid loves to learn. It was beginning to look like The Path for next-gen consoles, a Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland for the gamepad inclined. It’s a concept that should be easy to nail gamplay wise, but sadly, that’s not the case.

It was one of the biggest disappointments of the year to see this review copy land on our desk with a 12-rated certificate. A..12? How can that be? Did the developers not see the trailers for their own game or something?
It was also a big surprise to have it drop on our desk at all. It had that “downloadable title” vibe written all over it, even though it was never actually announced as such.
