I never get motion sickness from games, but this one had me tasting my Cheeseburger Hot Pocket for the second time within minutes.
oh god this reminds me of descent 3, I almost puked playing that game. sometimes we don't need 360 degrees of freedom
I agree with BahamutZero about the cheeseburger hotpocket. But anyways the game never made me sick. Never been sick while playing a game.
Whoa, no way, you get dizzy from this game too? I have NEVER had it happen to me while playing ANY other game. Also, I simply don't get motion sickness. I've never even been sea-sick. I don't know what is with this game. I didn't get sick while playing, just dizzy. But I only played the super short demo.
Although, the game is kind of fun. Its not really worth $10.

Wow, I never heard of people getting sick off a videogame except for really REALLY motion sick type of peeps. Too bad I don't have a 360 or I would surely be up for the challange.
wow really? I played it but I was sick from how boring it was. So I stopped playing it in time it looks like.
I got sick playing Decent one time, but no I have this game for the 360 and Aleph One and neither version has made me sick.
Marathon has always had funny motion physics. And yes, I was definitely getting a little sick playing it. More than that though, does anyone else think that the game has really choppy animations? In HD, it looks good, but the character animations are not even as smooth as in DOOM. Dunno, just seems that way to me.
only game that made me spaz was Guitar Hero (on the 360) and it gave me a seizure. This, I downloaded, but didn't get to play it yet.
I downloaded the demo yesterday instead of buying this straight-off, like I had planned, because my brother called and told me he and all of his friends were getting sick playing it.
Only FPS to make me motion sick are Goldeneye and 007 Agend Under Fire. Marathon doesn't have James Bond in it, so maybe I'll be ok.
I tried the demo on my SDTV and while I felt that the game controls and movement felt a little awkward I never felt sick.

Everybody knows you can't have sex with hot pockets. They're either frozen or tongue-burning hot.

nothin doin played it for like two hours last night, maybe when i get off work today i'll run home and turn around a bunch real fast maybe i missed something hmm. maybe i need to eat a cheeseburger hot pocket first and then play. no I'll do one better and eat a lean pocket then a breakfast pocket then a cheeseburger hot pocket then play sitting upside down on my couch yeah that'll get the juices flowing for sure
I played for about 10 minutes and no problems. Until I finished playing anyway. Now I feel like I'm turning my head really fast whenever I look somewhere.
Played on a 9 inch SDTV about 3 feet away.

I played for about 15 minutes and I wanted to puke.
But that was because the game sucked. I don't get motion sickness.

I was totally excited to download and play this. Then it made me dizzy and i turned it off.
My little brother tried it out. According to him, no game has ever made him dizzy or nauseous until this. So yeah. There is something wrong here.

I have never gotten motion sickness from a game before, and I've played FPS and racing games for over 15 years. This game made me brutally sick to my stomach in just a few minutes. Yes, there is a problem.
I read somewhere that putting camera bob on will make the effects a lot less. I have yet to try that though.

I used to get sick playing the old FPS like DOOM but this has been OK for me(still get a slight nausea if I run around really fast down some really tight corridors so I just try to avoid that). I found that one of the reasons I got sick was because I was playing really close to a PC monitor so I think that is a big factor. If you arent so close and can see the rest of your room around you then it helps with the motion sickness. Don't play in total darkness either turn on a light so you can see your surroundings. Also I found the camera bob feature did help.
NOW WITH 50% MORE Vomit inducing visuals!
I'd love to see a game with that sticker on the cover.
You guys sold me on this game, I played the series on a Mac IIvx back in the day, but there was no way it ran any faster than about 15 - 18 fps in a small 320x240 window.
I've never gotten motion sickness from playing a game, so I'm super excited to try this game out. If for a measly $10 I too could have a projectile vomiting good time I'm in!!
apparently the japabese get really sick of of FPSs. maybe the game turns you japanese while playing?
^ Everyone is up there is a wuss. Lulz.
I played it for 20 hours straight until I beat it. No motion sickness or anything. Hurf durf.

Same here. the only thing that made me sick was an 8 player Flamethrower only match. That noise you make when you burn? Oh yeah, that's going on the lsit of Most Annoying Video Game Sounds, and bumbs the PS 2 startup noise down to 5th.
WTF is wrong with everybody? Does everyone suddenly have the intestinal fortitude of a 6 year old girl? Played it for several hours straight with not even a hint of sickness.
Don't Japanese people get motion sickness very easily? Have we cross referenced the instances of motion sickness due to playing Marathon with instances of the subject being of Asian Decent?
I've never had motion sickness from any games, and this isn't any exception. It didn't kind of mess up my aim, though. I'm used to plaything this game on the junky old iBook I lug around when I go on trips, not at a perfect 60fps with HD and all.
I do know a few friends that got kind of queasy watching me play, though, and they're not sissy-girly-men. Dif'ent strokes for dif'ent folks.

I've never had that happen so it's hard for me to understand how people get motion sickness from games. The only time I ever had that happen was the first time I ever played Super Mario 64, when it was released that Christmas long ago. My brother-in-law got the N64 and I played that Christmas day at my sister's house for like 5 hours straight. I was dizzy and had "vertigo" for like 3 days afterwards. Basically it's like when you spin around really fast and then stop and everything keeps turning in your vision since your equilibrium is all messed up. Other than that, DOOM, Half-Life, Halo etc I've never gotten motion sickness. Maybe I'll give Marathon a go.
I was all like "whiny pussy bastards i wont get motion sick!" so i downloaded the demo. "ughh man i dont feel so good" quite honestly the first time a game has made me feel funky like that ever. Dont know if it was psychological but something was definitely wrong.
