Good tactical fps but frustrating
Another good implementation of the Four Fs concept first shown in Road to Hill 30. The game is somewhat more polished (it must have looked really good in 2005 on PC...it certainly did on the Xbox) and at the same time more frustrating too, even with God Mode activated: you'll encounter tanks and mortar squads more often, the former being even more annoying because it takes around 4 (four!) rockets to destroy one, and the tank will not stop moving around and shooting at you until you manage to take it out, and that unfortunately requires you to find a fixed location where a crate with a restocking number of Panzerfausts can be found. The frustration could have been easily avoided by either allowing to take more Panzerfausts with you (you can only take 1, and the animation for taking it out of the crate is too slow) or by allowing quicksaves (the game is only saved at checkpoints), or both. As it is, the whole process is just way too tedious. Mortar squads and 88s basically knock you out if you have God Mode activated, and the animation takes a while to complete as well. With mortars, you never know when or if a shell is gonna land near you, especially if you're out of cover. Without God Mode, it's basically insta-death when it does! But I guess this is what happens in real life, so maybe that frustration is actually a positive thing (war isn't fun and the game wants you to know it). The enemies are smarter, too, but the frustrating thing is they usually only take 2-3 bullets to go down, with no damage system whatsoever, which would have been nice. I was tempted to give the game 4 stars out of 4, but given its authentic feel and tactics, I think I'm gonna give 5, a solid 81 out of 100. Now, if you want a more "arcade" approach, you should definitely try BIA Hell's Highway, I remember needing no cheats to play that one. A game with a similar tactical approach is Full Spectrum Warrior, which I definitely recommend to anyone who liked EiB.
Hilft dir das weiter?
