Interesting ideas, poor execution

Redline feels like it was a car combat game first and a FPS second. The vehicle parts I found to be the best parts (outside of some bosses) and they had some really neat ideas with lots of weapons and pickups to find. The FPS part on the other hand was really lacking. Level design is annoying and I found the whole game to be overly dark without as much of a flashlight to help you see where you are going. Enemies also have a tendency to pop out of no where. I did enjoy the music as well as the really neat animations when swapping weapons. You only get one weapon but it has multiple modes for things like rockets and shotguns. The animations that play when you swap between modes are really neat. Overall I would say get this game cheap and give it a try. It's got some nifty ideas but due to poor execution they don't play out as well as I would have hoped, that said, you may find it more enjoyable.

Tiresome Boredom

Fiddly controls, boring level design. Waste of money.

Mediocre game that aged very poorly

A game that mix car combat and FPS and is really poor at both. The car combat is lackluster, biggest issue is bad camera but it made more frustrating by the amount of time the game put you in 1 vs 5 scenario or when facing opponent with homing weapons while you don't. The gunplay is incredibly limited , very frequent collision issues with the environment. The AI has no reaction time, so stand still and you're dead, but keep moving and they always miss you. The only praise is the fairly large outdoors, but like many games of its time this result in very crappy indoors. It also doesn't use these big environments very well, only few map feature lengthy driving sequences, its otherwise arenas connected to arenas. Of course this is gog, so there's dozens of "I played this when i was 5! 10 out of 5 star best gaem eva"

Bad game that I remembered more fondly

I remember playing the demo of Redline over and over as a kid and back then, I was completely blown away by its combination of first-person shooting and vehicle combat. I was excited to finally play the full game and see what it has in stock after the first level. Nowadays games like that are a dime a dozen and probably the closest modern equivalent is Rage 2 since both games also share a post-apocalyptic theme but unfortunately, Redline aged very poorly and overall, it's hard to recommend even for a trip down the nostalgia lane. It would have been better if I skipped the full version and left my memories about the demo intact. One of the biggest problems is the fact that the game is programmed with 30 frames per second in mind which makes it rather uncomfortable to play and the first person view is almost nausea-inducing unless you use a patch to increase the FOV. The on-foot controls are sluggish and you'll often get stuck on the level geometry in tight areas and vehicle controls are rather finnicky and overly sensitive so no matter how you engage the enemy in combat, it is never fully satisfying. But the biggest problem this game has are the bugs, especially when it comes to level scripting. I quit playing after three levels because of the bugged mission where the game enters a failstate during a cinematic with a "mission failed" message because I destroyed the car, even though my ultimae goal was to drive it safely to my destination and then throw it into a lava pit. It's like the game remembered my first objective but then forgot about the other. I suppose that the post-apocalyptic visuals and destructive environments are still a plus but that's about it. Everything else, including the story, the music, voice acting, and OTT violence is a typical late-90s gutter trash that was trying to be edgy but ends up being silly. IMO Redline is not worth revisiting, even if you have fond memories of it.

Doesn't move right

Movement in this game feels really off. Both driving mechanics / physics and first person shooter movement. Not fun in the slightest. Nice idea but really poor execution.
