Alien Breed: Impact

I liked the eerie feeling you got waiting for the aliens to attack.

The title says it all. I even managed to play the first game with a little .ini hack that enables proper FPS mouse camera. However - in the second game there are too many parts with fixed camera and controls which make it extremely painful to play - think - you can't see where your aim is, and can't shoot an enemy right in front of you. About the game itself - it is not good. The games are just the same recycled thing, with different loading screen color. Explosions everywhere. Bugs pop out at the exact same spots at the exact same time. Explosions. The whole progress is: go to point A, something explodes, you can't open door/lift/machinery, backtrack to point B, return to point A, kill some more bugs, BOOM, still something doesn't work - backtrack to point C. It makes the game feel longer, but that is not a positive, it is a chore. Weapon and item upgrades are ~25% improvement. Did I mention that there is stuff constantly exploding around you? There is some story, in the form of comic-styled cinematics, but nothing interesting enought that would make me force myself to play this mess. Which reminds me - people compare this games as the better version of Shadowgrounds. The graphics are better. Everything else - gameplay, story, characters - are better in the Shadowgrounds series. At least I had FUN playing them, and that is the whole point of playing games. Buy if you are curious. At a huge discount. Or better watch a playthrough video. You would not miss much. And laugh at the streamer. Me? I'm calling it quits. Staring at the wall is a time better spent.

Wouldn't launch. Tried all of the suggestions from both GOG and Steams help boards. Nothing. Finally gave up and deleted it. Downloaded Alien breed 2. It also didn't launch, but it gave a "Missing PhysX.exe..." warning. Turn out that it is a nvidia driver. My machine doesn't have a nvidia card but I'll give it a try. What do you know AB2 runs fine. I then reinstalled AB impact, and it runs fine now.

nice

A really good ortho graphic style platform game. Made by Team17.
