    Just......Brilliant

    Brings back the memories of the good old high school movie styles along with some mind blowing action scenes.This short movie series is one of the best among all out there.Here the plot and the cinematography is so well done, that one wouldn't move his eyes from the screen for a moment.The computer Graphics done through out the movie for generating special effects is flawless and fantastic.I congratulate Matthew Arnold, Brandon Laatsch and Freddie Wong for making a superb short movie series.Not to forget...the writers also did a fantastic job for writing a strong plot.Hope they decide to do another sequel.....At last I would definitely recommend everyone to watch this.Its a complete entertainer.

    Childhood defining

    Freddie Wong and RocketJump shaped my childhood. This show incapsulates in my opinion the greatest era in YouTube history where creativity thrived. I loved VGHS then and I love it now. It is so endearing and my ultimate fantasy as a kid... i mean going to a video game high school!!!

    Finishing this rewatch genuinely made me sad, i remembered watching this when it first came out and being excited for the new seasons and rewatching them under my duvet late night in Ramadan hoping my parents wouldn't find out.

    It is very 2012 but the show doesnt shy away from its 'cringeness' and the comedy and characters are so amazing. I miss that time in my life, its a childhood i wish i could go back to where I could fantasise over living Brian D's life. Such a special show that has never been replicated.

    I thank Freddie Wong for making a show that was free and gave me so much joy. I wish i can watch it again and again and again. Even typing this review gets me sad. So nostalgic i love it so much.

    A rare movie which is exactly what it aspires to be

    VGHS is a love letter to video games and those who love them.

    The basic construction is reminiscent of paint by numbers. All the necessary plot points are there and more or less exactly where they need to be, enough so anyway that the story is complete if simple. You won't find much by way of nuance or depth, but that's okay, the movie is fun.

    It's clear everyone involved in the project earnestly loved what they were doing. There's an honest innocence to it. This is a film for 11-15 year-olds and there's nothing wrong with that.

    If you can accept what it is, you'll find it's a nice little gem.

    Organic, Flawed, Perfect

    I wish I could watch this series again through the eyes of someone else. Someone who hasn't been watching freddiew videos for over a year, and wasn't refreshing the VGHS Kickstarter page to watch the donations accumulate, and wasn't subscribed to bfirenzi and EpicMealTime and feastoffiction ...

    My first-timer friends fit all of those qualifications. To my delight, they were all just as engrossed and entertained as I was. It was as if I had helped create the episodes and was yearning for their approval.

    The series is not flawless. The character development felt a bit rushed and a critical eye can spot minor inconsistencies. But who cares? What makes this series special is that it wasn't polished by the Hollywoodlanders. It's organic. And in the end, I was able to share a common experience with my non-youtuber friends: we loved it.

    (Shout out to Brian "The Law" Firenzi--you stole the show, fantastic acting)

    Kind of like Harry Potter for gamers.

    I am 34 and have been gaming for around 25 years now. I am also big into online gaming, and my son is also getting into it. We watched this together and both loved it. My daughter loved it too.

    I found this series, hilarious, imaginative, and just really cool, despite being a little unpolished. I can see it becoming super popular for teenagers. I wish more people knew about Video game high school, I had never heard of it until last night. I would really like to see this succeed in a big way.

    My only complaint is that sometimes, it starts to feel like a YTV show. At times it feels like the target audience all of a sudden drops in age by like 10 years. At 34 years of age, most of the series I thought was very watchable, but some moments were just too YTV-ish. My son liked the entire thing. However, I think Video Game High school would appeal to more people without the "YTV" moments.

    Video game High school is kind of like Harry Potter, but with video games as the theme instead of magic.
