neoadorable Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 ok, just crossed that river last night so i guess maybe 20 percent done... so far, graphics look nice (the forest missions almost felt like a PC title), AI is mediocre but not too bad, they run for cover and make attempts to flank, but it's all very rigid and obviously pre-scripted. aiming is much better than other console FPS's, and the destructible environs are cool since lots of stuff falls apart under fire. overall, fun but not the most advanced shooter yet... what does everyone else think?

amr_01 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I beat the game in about 12 hours, i'm half way through it on hard-mode. it's a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I like it but there needs to be more recoil and having to beat a whole level just to save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 yes the main problem's the save system, which sucks as it forces you to play thru entire levels. also, did anyone notice controller drift each time to start playing? it calibrates after a while. pros: environments, weapons, damage modeling. cons: AI, sound, save system.

Dick Montage Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Wow, glad I read this thread. The lack of decent save system will stop me buying this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykranth Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 The game is beautifully modeled almost as good as Far Cry: there is a lot of work in the level conception, the ambiance but it's awfully short. When I finished the game, I was thinking: "Where is the other half??" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 well it's supposed to be a trilogy, so potentially this segment is like a tease to draw you in later. and yes, the levels are excellently designed, with damage modeling doing a great job. it's a lot nicer looking than FEAR, overall, but after playing it you get the impression it's all very samey. and Keller...he's too much of a Fox Mulder, i thought. louch, glad to have been useful. yes, it forces you play the whole level straight through, but as was noted it's a short game and can be played on normal in under eight hours.

MadFerIt Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Not the greatest game.. The lack of replayability makes it more of a rental then a purchase.. I've played the xbox version quite a bit. However it is the first ever FPS made by this team (the Burnout fellows) and for a first-attempt this is an amazing achievement. I think for the next title they need to take into consideration the elements that make other fps's successful (one major factor being online multiplayer). Also while being "gun porn" is nice, they could still add some more gameplay elements and make the game a bit more enjoyable.. And finally.. The actors they used for the FMV's.. Their voices just seem so, unreal. It's almost as if the actors are being dubbed over or trying really hard to change their voices. Don't like it at all.

neoadorable Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 agree on the voices, they do sounds unreal and dubbed. good if repetitive action, but like you said short, and no replayability. its more like a long demo actually, purportedly their next titles in the series will be more elaborate.
