War: Final Assault

Review by Funky Bob

"The most addictive game ever created!"

If you have any arcades or restaurants near you that have games, keep your eye out for this one! This is the best arcade game I have ever played! OK let's start the review,

Gameplay 9/10

The controls are strange on this game, you have four buttons to move you around and a joystick to move your view and aim your gun. But once you get used to it you'll wish all games were made like this. Unlike most arcade games you have a single player adventure game and a multiplayer mode. The adventure is good but this is what made me give it a 9/10. Once you get good at it, it only takes about half an hour to beat it. Overall though it is very good, there are 8 levels and 4 completely different characters to play with. On adventure mode when you accumulate kills you get ranks. As your ranks increases you can unlock secret characters, some of the secret characters are quite interesting... The ranks are the most addictive part of the game and it will keep you entertained for a VERY long time. Included in the game is a great multiplayer mode. Basically it's your normal multiplayer, take the gun and kill the other player. But it is surprisingly fun. The only drawback is that you need more than one machine to play it and if wherever your playing the game only has one machine you can't play multiplayer :-(

Plot 8/10

It's your normal story, Guy is trying to take over the world and you singlehandedly have to save it. The actual story goes like this; General Yuri Alienov has amassed an army of Russian rebels and is using it to take over the world. You must go in and infiltrate the base and stop Alienov. The plot is solid and it works.

Graphics 7/10

The graphics aren't quite up to par with today's next generation systems but for a game that was made in 1998 they're very good. There's little problems with the Graphics; the framerate is good and I've played through it at least over 25 times and have yet to find a single glitch. There is good detail and everything runs very smoothly. If you're a person who has to have top of the line, amazing graphics though, this game is not for you.

Sound 10/10

Nothing wrong here, the sound is simply amazing. The music is very good for the type of game we're playing. It's loud, exciting, and never get's old. The sound effects are good and aren't annoying in any way.

Replay 10/10

Like I've said many times before, THIS GAME IS VERY ADDICTIVE!!!!!!! Getting all the ranks is the most addictive quality and will keep you coming back time and again. The multiplayer isn't to shabby either.

Overall 9/10

The game isn't perfect but it comes pretty close. It's very hard to find a specific Arcade game out of the thousands that are out there but this one is worth looking for. If you do find it I have one word ENJOY!!!
