I really enjoyed this game and if you're a fan of 2d shooters from back in the 90's then I can guarantee you will too. I'm an older gamer who played all the old classics like Wolfenstein, Doom, Duke Nukem, and more. This game is like a throwback to them while adding fun and imaginative features, like upgrading weapons and powers. It allows you to create a weapon set and abilities to work with the way you like to fight. It also keeps the nice level progression from older games and you move level by level, area to area, theme to theme. And speaking of the themes, the area themes are awesome. You'll find yourself in snowy arctic areas and ancient Egypt type areas. As well as factory and futuristic settings. Listen, it's just a blast of a game and it's super affordable. I don't have much time to game anymore and I blasted through this game and could not put it down. Purchase and enjoy.
Simple bottom line, I found it kinda boring. It's repetitive. The quests are kinda ho hum. I didn't see a whole lot of items to collect or things to do. So I feel as though if you're like me you'll find less of a reason to play this as the time goes by.
This will be short because this game was a disaster. I was in the Army at the time anxiously awaiting the sequel to the unbelievably popular Masters of Orion 2. I couldn't wait for Masters of Orion 3. I kept checking Best Buy day after day around the release date waiting for hit to hit the shelves. I imagined so many things this game would be, even if it was just Masters of Orion 2 with advanced graphics. When the game finally came out I was thrilled. I went home installed the, I believe 35 CD's that came with it, and started the game. It was almost unplayable. I seriously gave this game hours trying to just figure it out and maybe even produce ships and have a war. It was absolutely miserable. Menu after menu, pitiful ship combat. I imagined 3 guys in their basement throwing this together while they watched TV in 3 weeks. It was the biggest let down probably in my PC gaming memory. My hopes for this game was shattered. Listen, don't even bother unless you are doing a comedic review of this thing on youtube just avoid it. The guys who made this game are in hiding in Siberia or something pretending to be coal miners. They just ran after they released this. This was longer than I thought. So much to tell about such a terrible experience. Go get Another game.
Not as good as the first, but still a decent game.
