I wouldn't exactly go as far as to say 1/10 (-1/10 i just stupid, what the hell?) more 4/10 maybe. It's ok, extremely rough around the edges, looks fucking identical to Unreal3, has awful weapon sounds, silly voice acting and dodgy cutscenes -- but I like the idea of climbing the levels.

It's mediocre, sure, so I give it 4/10.

Uninstalled because I really can't dredge up the energy to finish it.

I think eurogamer have overestimated this game. 3/10 is a big score for this garbage.

Laughing I think it's intentional. Very Happy

BTW, did anyone notice the name of the EXE?



Laughing Maybe even the devs didn't like their game. Razz

LOL. Smile

It's not a bad game actually, especially if you play it with a friend in co-op. It's just average in every aspect.

Agree,it's not really that bad. I would give it 6/10 or so. Could be way better,but it works in some level at the state it's in.

For bloom and such try opening the INI files (UE3Engine.ini or what they call it this time) as it's UE3 it should be modifiable (Unless it's changed similar to for example Wheelman) and turn of bloom and motion blur. Smile

Strange, this one works for me without even using YASU. And I havent upgraded my Daemon Tools for a few months. Using DT Lite 4.30.1 w. SPTD 1.56. I just mount the image, start the game via launcher, then block the outbound UDP connection with Outpost and voila I'm at the title screen. (WinXP)

Absolutely unrelated but those guns are pretty similar to the pistols in this title.

EDIT: This game uses DX10 or something?

There's a file called "RefShaderCache-PC-D3D-SM2" which is shader model 2.0 and then there's another one ending with -SM3 which is as you probably guessed already shader model 3 but then there's the final one called RefShaderCache-PC-D3D-SM4 which would mean shader model 4 / DX10.
(Then again that file exists for UT3 as well and that game is DX9 only from what I know, or perhaps I confused it with Gears of War which do use DX10 for AA)

EDIT: Yes, If you enable the D3D10 line in the Engine INI file (Also while there go trough some other stuff like removing logo videos.) in a game that doesn't support it the game will crash when loading a level, this game loads and works as intended so I guess it works, odd for it to be disabled though perhaps it adds no major visual changes to the game. Smile

EDIT: More or less confirmed via FRAPS, black border.
(It's transparent under DX9)

EDIT: Shader errors appear now and then, decals for exampel are all highlighted so DX10 was worked on but never finished from how things appear, best to have it disabled, though it didn't add much to the game either way, fun discovery though.

I had hope in this game... But after reading your comments I guess is just another crap game.

Does it only work with DT Pro?

I'm in the desert stage now, and the colors get better, no more red-brown-grey unreal engine wishy washy. The level design is awesome but thats just about it, the climbing controls feel somewhat limited, the propaganda radio is annoying and the shootouts are unsatisfying.Too bad but I'm still going to finish it, to see the different environments.

Nah, Jericho was at least somewhat enjoyable for a while, and had better graphics. Smile This has almost no redeeming features...

Maybe not great fun but it`s okay for me too. I have deleted Terminator Salvation which sucks for me lot after 2 hours but i`m still playing Damnation. So i guess it`s not that bad. Bicycles are cool

well this game is fantastic IF you like platformers ala Prince of Persia or Tomb Raider ... this part they made perfect
but the shooting part is awful,
every gun in this game is crap exept your Gun,sniper rifle and the BoltGun
other ones are SO inaccurate you have to stand NEXT TO YOUR ENEMY TO HIT HIM,
no cover mechanics... it isn't a bad thing but atlest why didn't they add blind fire

reviewers didn't hate this game for its graphics,platforming,story or maps... but for the shooting part

if they would release a patch fixing the accuracy of your weapons this game would get a staring 8/10, but now it only gets a 3/10

You can kick dead bodies in this game as if they are just a piece of paper. Looks like they weigh 100g or something like that

It was the same in GoW and UT3. It appears ragdolls are not given weight for the physics engine. Another indicator this is a quick job.
