Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
This game is one I had a lot of fun with when it came out, and it still holds up pretty well. It is a good hybrid FPS/vehicle combat game.
It has a Mad Max feel to it, with the whole "Post Apocalyptic" atmosphere. However, that atmosphere can get a little repetitive as can the level design.
The game has its bugs, and is far from perfect...But it is also a lot of fun, and well worth the $6.
This is easily one of the best first-person shooters ever made. It literally had everything, and more: interesting weapons (which actually was just one weapon but got "upgrades" so it could shoot other type of ammunition, and I still think it has the best "melee" weapon in any FPS: the fold-out chainsaw that allowed you to "jet-jump"), AWESOME music that really set the mood and fit the overall game, great graphics for the time (1999), original character design, stellar voice acting as well as highly entertaining dialogue, and it even had a pretty good story as far as this genre goes, and it even has partial level destruction (which is still pretty rare to find in a video game, especially back in 1999).
Oh yeah, did I mention that this was the first FPS to have perfectly integrated vehicle combat and actually got the combat RIGHT? Seriously, nothing else, at least in some respects, has come close. I believe that if this game had been properly advertised and/or was somehow ported to a console at the time, games like Halo would have been completely ignored. I still have my original Redline CD that I still play to this day, though it has some DRM issues due to the age of the OS it was designed to run on.
Summary: . Just buy this game. It's a steal at $6 (the soundtrack alone is worth triple that).
Thank you so much GOG for making this game available again.!
This game is trying to be like Duke Nukem 3D with vehicles - but if fails badly. The humour is not funny at all, unlike Duke and the gameplay seems a tadge weak.
The GFX are TERRIBLE..... if you're familiar with the Lithtech 3D Engine on Blood 2 you will recognise it's sheer ugliness and glitchiness! But won't you wont expect is for it to achieve the what no-one could ever have believed..... the GFX are actually WORSE than Blood 2! I know! Beyond all belief init? And it also suffered the "Doom 3" black black black black black all I see is black syndrome - unless you crank the gamma setting up to maximum. Maybe it was just my GPU - I dunno.
Still you can enjoy a mindless blast with this - just don't expect to be amazed, don't expect to become obsessed with the game, don't expect much at all in fact - and buy it when it is on a strong cut-price offer!!!!! DO NOT buy at full price, it isn't worth it!
It's a fun game for a little while, but to me it grew old rather fast and there were some glaring issues such as the first person field of view and horrible sound design. I gave it a try, and it just wasn't my thing.
The best part about Redline is its ability to blend the genres of car combat and first-person shooting. The player can enter/exit a vehicle at anytime. It doesn't try to master each genre, but it executes each genre sufficiently. On-foot has the usual movement keys (move/strafe/jump/roll). In-car driving takes a moment to get into, but the preferred setup is aiming with the mouse and driving with the keyboard. The default controls should be changed prior to playing the training levels. Overall, there's 11 on-foot weapons and 27 vehicles (which includes a few stationary turrets); thus, there is variety in the armament.
The dystopian landscape is portrayed very well, whether it's abandoned buildings or barren hills. Large explosions and draw distance that extends extremely far rounds out the visuals. The industrial rock music fits the action nicely. The CD music should be turned off in the options though, since the same tracks loop. It's not necessary since hard-coded music already plays during crucial moments.
The multiplayer is like no other. It forces the player to think outside the box since both on-foot and in-car battles occurs. There's a ton of different approaches to taking out an enemy. Sadly, there's no offline skirmish option, and so standalone battles against the AI doesn't exist. It's a shame since it would've extended the replayability vastly. There's also no map editor or any tools to edit the game. Finally, if someone is trying to run the game on any platform after Windows Vista, then there's a good chance that the game might crash upon startup. Redline wasn't properly modernized on both GOG and Steam, and workarounds have to be done to get the game to work. Some can be found on the fan site redline2066.net ("Help" on the left side).
Overall, Redline had not surpassed its first-person shooter peers or its car combat peers, but it was certainly consistent with both styles, and the attempted mixture had made the game unique enough from either view.
