Just been playing this game and its pritty fun game lol
wasnt expecting it to be fun and the graphics are right up there

when i first started this game i thought it looked like farcry for a second lol

the eye candy is right up there though :P

Sandok

Meh its okay graphically... The animations are rigid and I dunno, the demo was weird. Maybe the full game is better

Zardon

I preferred the 360 demo. pc demo looks a bit ropey atm.

Brutality

Well, it's supposed to be ropey. It's a console port... Too bad, that game might be fun, but i'm not getting it for myself. I just don't want to play crappy ports.

ViRuS2k

who said i was playing the demo

Zardon

No one did, I said I did and it was enough to know not to get it. And yes im well aware you probably didnt pay for it either, but enough said, right?

Is it a first or third person game?

3rd person but if you hold the mouse 2 button it zooms into a kinda first person mode, same kinda mode that Resident Evil 4 Uses. behind the sholder :P

Partizan

Is it good and worth buying? Graphics is good but i am interested more into gameplay.

I think its pretty awful. Sure the graphics look fine initially but there are so many unpolished aspects to it. Such as the vehicles, if you jump off a mountain on a bike you can basically fall forever and the bike or car takes no damage.. this would be excusable if the physics of the vehicles was good but it is appalling. the handling, steering is terrible, not to mention on some vehicles you can actually see vegetation showing through (such as the pickup trucks).

Also the enemy AI is utterly terrible. It is a poor 360 port.

So the history repeats. There was a similar game with the same problems:

Boiling Point: Road to hell

It could be a great game, but after my Humvee with tons of weapons, extra fuel and spare tires just dissapeared, I didn't have the will to play on. I heard there were some patches, but just couldn't start playin again.

I read a review (link) where the main problem seemed to be the total lack of any realism. For instance "the ability to hop back and forth from the cockpit of a moving helicopter to the stunt position on the helicopter's tail, passing right through the spinning blades every time".

From what I've bothered to play of this game so far, it's chock full of bugs, ranging from key bindings to your general "Hey, the game says this works but it doesn't".

Some examples:

Not being able to bind a key to "Jump to vehicle" in the options. Everything else seems to be there for jumping out of vehicles and doing the other insane shit you can do, bar that one option. That's gonna cause problems if you don't specifically want to use the E key, like myself that would have prefered my middle mouse button...which by the way, can't be bound to anything! Welcome to 1995!

When you start the game and get to the first "Safehouse", your told you can park your vehicles inside a garage to save them for later, which would be great if it actually worked. What happens for me is that as soon as I drive inside, the garage door closes, locking me in. Unless I get back in the car and drive back out I'm stuck... That or the doors don't even bother to open, which also happened to **** up a mission I was on that wanted me to steal a car and bring it back.

Where I work, a guy brought back a copy he'd bought for the playstation2. Why? After a certain point in the game, early on, he couldn't kill anybody...His guns would fire, he could target them and see blood sprays, but everyone had turned invincible. Talk about a game breaking bug and a half... Hopefully that was just a dodgy batch


So glad I didn't have to pay for this game...it had a load of potential but at the end of the day its just a cheap port of a wannabe clone.

Zardon

Seriously if we were to start reporting the problems with the game, we would fill a book. such a shame mind you as the concept is pretty good. I mean apart from the hundreds of issues I found in the 2 hours I played the full game, why on earth is there no widescreen resolution support? Sure you can hack one via an application which I read on the widescreenforum but I find this inexcusable in 2006, especially as the original 360 version is already in widescreen

It looks to be a lot better on the 360.

ekinlegend

looks like a decent game, similar to GTA. too bad i dont have the HD space right now..

Zardon

its crap, use the hard disk space for something useful.

dsdsdk

this game is only about smashing roadblocks.. that's basically the only thing you do! well that and killing people.

Downloaded and played the demo over the weekend... and oh boy,this must rate as one of the worst games of this year.

Graphics is reasonable,animation is only just above stick man standered.And after killing hoards of enemy characters with very little injury this looks like this could be completed without dying once.And i'd bet all the objectives are too repetitive.

To be honest this should only reach bargain basement price and nothing more.And quite simply avoid wasting you're cash.

Very true...Only instances where I died was from skydiving (minus a parachute ) and getting run over by clueless AI friendlies.


If I was forced to say something good about this game, I'd probably say the skydiving. Its nice to be able to go up a fair distance (a lot higher than the demo allows) and just free fall for 2~ minutes .
