Uprising X

"Not too bad of a game, but could be better."

I think this game was not bad at all. I will start off by saying that this game is NOT for everyone. But if you like games with a lot of action then you will for sure like this game.

Story: 3/10
The story is by far the absolute worse thing about this game.It's just an old Star Wars type of story. Rebel vs. Empire. Its that simple there are no real main characters or even much of a plot or logic to the missions Like I said it's a rebellion against an oppressive empire. That's about it!

Control: 10/10
The control is absolutely flawless. It is very responsive and easy to master.

Gameplay: 7/10
The gameplay is very fast and intense. In some missions you have to protect stuff and you'll have tanks and infantry on the ground and then bombers and planes in the air. There is so much stuff going on all at once. Thankfully you can call on other units to help you out. There is really not much strategy involved at all. It is all out almost non-stop action. If you have to defend your own base you can get out of you tank that you are in and get into a gun turret called a Citadel. This is a nice feature because it has stronger weapons and you can see farther away so its effortless to take out like 10 guys in like 8 seconds. There is a multi player which is actually more fun than the main game.

Graphics: 9/10
The graphics on this game are nothing short of amazing. Its nothing groundbreaking or new but they are more that exceptional. The lighting effects are also great.

Environments: 7/10
I wish they had more detail with the environments. They are just rocks, hill, and trails. The level design could have been better a lot of the levels are basically composed of the same elements.

Sound: 8/10
The music I really liked but it can get repetitive. The music is composed of rock tracks which is better than the traditional techno tracks. The sound effects sound realistic and believable.

Rent/Buy:
I just bought it because it was only $2.00 more to buy it vs. rent but now if you can find it its will only be 5 or 6 bucks so I say just go ahead and buy it.

Overall: 8/10
As I said not everyone will like this game but it is really fun. Except for a few flaws it is an overall good game but its far from perfect.
