I had heard about Iron Storm years ago for its appealing scenario but never heard it came out until I saw it on sale in a office furniture shop (?!?!). I did not buy it then. Add a few and here is that same game on sale at GOG. I saw the few reviews saying it was a difficultly challenging game but also worth the try. After playing through the game, I'd agree: it's a very decent shooter and I looooooooved the guns. The game shows its age and might not feel as polished as other games from that time (e.g. Half-Life) but it's fun and hard in interesting ways. It is also very linear so do not expect to get lost. The only real complaints I would have are: - scripted events which bug out once in a while (so that you effectively need to load a previously saved game). - enemies appearing out of nowhere due to the aforementioned scripted scenarii. - story not as strong as what it could have been. - some people might definitely find it too linear. - some puzzles are not straightforward so do not hesitate to use a walkthrough for those. All the rest is plain fun ! Conclusion: not a major game but a decent one nonetheless. I was satisfied with this purchase (and I hated Aquanox 2).
