Revolution

"It's really not a "revolution"..."

What can I say? This game has few redeeming qualities about it. One day I had the misfortune of purchasing this game from my local EB at $8.00. This game is probably the biggest rip off I've ever bought. And I regretted every second of it while playing. But enough about the past, on to the review.

Gameplay: 0/10
This game is unbeatable if you just start playing it out of the box without cheats. There's just no way you can beat it without using cheats or without the patch. And even with the patch the game is still busted. I got up to the point in the game where the glitch doesn't allow you to proceed. After searching the entire level thoroughly for 2 hours, I suspected that a trigger was broken somewhere or the developers forgot to put a button somewhere that allows you to proceed. This screams "rushed game" to me.

Sound: 3/10
The sound for this game was mediocre. From the broken english that the characters speak in game to the weapon sounds, this game is rather bland. The gun sounds have that "generic" feel to them. The music is the one redeeming quality of this game, but it's not nearly enough to save it from a bad score.

Graphics: 5/10
The graphics for this game are quite out of place, being rather good and all. Everything has some level of detail and the levels look realistic. Well, as realistic as a sci-fi game can get. I really have no qualms with the graphics of this game.

Multiplayer: 0/10
This game has practically never even heard of multiplayer. True, it does have the standard Deathmatch and CTF, but there are NEVER any servers available to play on. Not once since I got this game, which was about 2 years ago, have I seen a server up, and I've checked every day. Hoping for a sign that at least one other person plays this game, but no such luck.

Try or buy:
Neither. Don't even bother with this tremendous flop of a game. To quote Eric Wolpaw of Gamespot, "It's hard to imagine that anyone would deliberately release the game as it is--in fact, it's easier to imagine that the game somehow escaped from Fun Labs on its own and clawed its way onto store shelves." That sums it up quite nicely.
