Gore: Ultimate Soldier

"Just another Mediocore FPS"

This review is only about my Single Player experiences. The Multipayer is a better then the Single Player, but I still don't like it as much as games like Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat.

Gameplay:
The Gameplay in Single Player was good for a while, but soon enough I got bored. There isn't really any difficulty in it except being able to kill the next guy. If all you like in these types of games are killing, then Gore is definitely for you. But if you want something that makes you think, then this is not for you. I give Gameplay a 6/10.

Story:
Not much really going on here. Don't get me wrong, there is a plot, but the story is bleak. I didn’t expect much and that’s what I got. It has a pretty good idea to it and had some potential, but I don’t see the effort to make it great. Altogether, don’t expect it to suck you into the game. I would have liked this game just as much if there was not any story in it at all. It would truly be the same game with or without the story. I give Story 3/10

Graphics:
On PC games it really depends on your computer and graphics card. Well on mine it was nice and clean. I ran it on default and I liked it. Gore is really candy to your eyes. I also liked the toggle from 1st player to 3rd Player. It added some much needed spice to the game. I give Graphics 9/10.

Sound:
Not bad, but not great. Some sounds was nice and realistic, others however were totally out there. When I played it I swore that there was a monster scream in an area with nothing but human enemies. I thought the sound was weird and sometimes out of place. But usually it was good. I give sound 7/10.

Controls:
I had to toggle mine to match the normal default in games like Counter-Strike. But after I finished customizing my controls it was quite nice. The strafe sensitivity may be a little too high but other then that it was good. Controls get a 7/10

Buy or Not:
If you want to kill, kill, kill then this is the game for you. Besides the killing there isn’t much. So I wouldn’t buy it, but if you feel the need then go ahead. It’s not a waste of your money, but I wouldn’t say it’s a good investment either.

Overall: 7/10
