"The most challenging FPS/RPG game out there!"
What to say about this game! A game for the hall of fame of the PC games! If you dare to play it, you ll love it. It is not recommended for persons with heart problems and i don't mean lovers! This game is true horror, one of the most atmospheric games i 've ever played. So lets get further with the analysis,
GAMEPLAY(9/10) : When you finish the tutorial you are 100% ready to start the game. It is a game with solid gameplay and it has 4 levels of difficulty. I played it on normal but i turn it to easy. Why that? because it's too difficult even when the difficulty is on easy. That's why i gave it a 9 on this section. Has very good control system, nice inventory system and it sets up new standards but many players will find it hard to beat. Save your game often, save your bullets, choose wisely which statistic, psi power, tech, weapon category to build. You may hack almost everything, you have to repair your weapons, you may research the enemies to learn more about them so you can do more damage to them etc, etc. First person shooter meats role playing and the result is awesome!!!
STORY(9/10) : You are on a spaceship and you are the only human survivor. An operation system controls everything. Very very interesting. People turn to aliens? Some kind of virus? Trying to find the exit? Story is one of the elements that gives it his excellent atmosphere.
AUDIO(10/10) : Techno music and scary sound effects. You do not have to play the game or watch it to be shaking. Just hear and get scared to death!
GRAPHICS(9/10) : Very good graphs that make it so fun to play. A 3D card with a pentium 2 cpu and you can play this game without lag.
REPLAY(9/10) : If you love it as much i do then you ll play it again and again on normal or hard mode. The ultimate challenge when your quick load will be your best buddy!
OVERALL(9/10) : You are a quality and a classic gamer? Buy this game if you don't have it. I don't want to tell you more about the game but it has a simple RPG system that you ll enjoy it and the FPS part is very good also. You have many weapons to choose but not many bullets! Be economic and strategic. Download and apply the patch so you can play it on multiplayer. HAVE FUN!!!
