A fun action game set in the Forgotten Realms. Story was so so, combat a bit better. All in all I had fun. Played the ps2 version back in the day, and this port was harder than I remembered. This time I played the GOG version and was glad to see it had controller support from the go. I could use my Xbox controller and set almost all buttons. It didn't recognize the triggers though.
This game is still as good as I remebered from when I played it on my Amiga 500 back in the early 1990-ies. I just had to remove the filter that made the screen look like its been smeared with vaseline so I could enjoy the beautiful pixel graphics. The Morph enemies, that you encounter later in the game, where a bit more annoying then I remembered. Other than that I can't complain to much about this game.
It's more Crysis, with some quality of life enhancments, like automaticly picking up ammo and less crashes. Where I've had at least 10 crashes in the original, I've experienced none in Warhead. This is a very enjoyable, albeit short, experience that I recommend.
For a, at the writing of this review, 13 year old game it looks incredible! Gameplay, with the suit mechanichs, is fun. It's also fun fighting the human enemies. The aliens, not so much. I ran this game on Windows 10 and experienced a few crashes during my playthrough. But checkpoints and frequent quicksaves, made this not a big hassle to get through. I would recomend the game, as I found it very enjoyable for the most part.
I purchased this game at release, 2004. Didn't get to finish it due to gamebreaking bugs. Then other titles wanted my attention, so I never got to finish this game, until now. From what I remeber, it was a good roleplaying game, and my memory almost served me correct. It's actually fantastic! Well, except maybe for the combat. Others have written better rewievs than this one. I'll just add this little text along with the five stars. Oh, and also. Don't keep the game on auto update if you're using Galaxy. I did, and when the game updated some areas didn't work properly. I tried rollback to an older patch, which worked for a while. Then it became unplayable. All that's was left to do was to start over, after 15 hours! However, it's such a good game, that starting from the begining after 15 hours didn't bother me at all.
