Fast Caz Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Has anyone else bought this game and thought it is one the best first person shooters to ever come out for the pc ? I mean from my point of view it combines all the best parts of Half Life 1-2 , Doom ,Quake and the likes.I've also found that everytime you die in a certain point in the game the A.I is getting better ( Not unless this is due to repetitive playing and lack of sleep beacause of ).

Kan' Sharuminar Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 It had the horrific honour of coming out on the same day as Silent Hunter IV, which is my first love.That said, it is a very atmospheric game, particularly if you're sitting in the dark with headphones on . It's not a Half-Life beater, though it may come up to par with the sequel - it's always going to suffer heavily from the hype generated from when it was announced. That said, there's lot's about it I like, I just need to explore it more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Caz Posted April 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Yeah i first started off doing the main missions until i realised you can explore the entire maps and get sub missions and wee little quests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Like one of the guys said - no "Half-Life" beater and "Deus Ex it ain't.Buggy as fuck too.Atmospheric though, with a well-conceived playing environment, but a little to easy.If you guys haven't played Deus Ex before, then try and get a hold of it. It's the daddy of sci-fi shooters with a fantastic story line and a great game engine - even after more than 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I thought it was pish. Got bored of it even far into the game. Not enough variation in the gameplay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough variation in the gameplayEach to his/her own I guess.It is a slow starter, but if you have a decent spec PC the later levels are fantastic, especially Area 51.

Teabags Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Aint played it but the other tester guy from my work took a day off work when it was released to play it.Came back after the weekend and said it was shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These youngster nowadays...etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
