Hogs of War

Glitched AI fully ruins an amazing game

I loved the PS1 version of this game. The music, the voice acting, the video clips and pretty much everything was about as perfect as the genre has gotten. I can get over all the little bits which are awkward or not quite up to scratch on the PC version, but the lack of AI movement kills the game. Instead of moving around the map and interacting with the environment to best attack your pigs they remain in position only rotating to aim. This starts of as dumbing down the game play hardness, but soon moves to making the game extremely difficult (not in a good way) to unplayable. Some of the maps have the starting positions for the AI as hard or impossible to reach for the player, but a good and varied starting position for the AI. By remaining static classes which should rely on melee range fire aimlessly. The player has the same issue when using those classes against that position. Maps which should be about racing the AI to equipment and vehicles become extremely one sided. I bought the game with the intention of completing the campaign a few times and playing multiplayer with family like I did with the PS1 version years ago, but I could only get to about half a dozen level in until the AI issue became too much. Avoid if you liked the original PS1 release as it will just tarnish the good memories.
