This is one of the first true FPS games it was not the first but it was one of a couple of titles that made FPS games what they are today. Wolf 3d will be very familiar if you have doom or quake (made by the same studio). By todays standards it's not much to look at and there are better games out there, but it's not a bad game by any stretch. basically your a us agent going through a castle killing Natzi's. It's well worth buying if you want to see where doom, far cry, even COD came from it is also pretty much a brainless shooter which you want sometimes and for £6 you can't really go wrong. I dropped a star because it's not doom only criticism really.
I loved dark forces as a kid of 8 years old even in 2005 it was still fun bringing back good memories even though all I could find was a demo I still remember the surprise when I first played it the first time i killed a storm trooper the dark troopers etc etc. This was the first FPS I remember being really good it was actually the first FPS I ever owned it's properly old school corridors some monsters and 10 weapons (including fists). The story isn't bad either (when you compare it to doom (because you know demons) or something it's positively Shakespearian). You always feel the lurking menace of the dark troopers when you finally get the the last level and face them and get their gun it's a great feeling. This game actually started the Jedi knight saga so if you want to see how that started then download it now. Deftly get Jedi Knight and Jedi knight 2 if you enjoy this they are both great games but this started it. Don't expect far cry 4 star wars (It's basically doom star wars) but if you want a good classic shooter this is for you for 7 quid it's pretty good.
Far cry 2 had such promiceIt had done away with the monister things from far cry 1 and was in the beautiful african bush. yet all is not well with this game.the eroblmes are detailed below. 1) LOCATION: Although the change in location is good in theory the bush al looks the same you ofton get shot at from enemies you cant see and die before ou locate where the shots are commeing from. 2:THE GUNS It's not so much how the guns feel they actually feel pretty good. But ubisoft decided they would go for hyper relisim with how the guns work thus they ofton lock up meaning you have a gun which won't fire in the middle of a fire fight.not good. 3:MALERIA This was the feature that really annoyed me and why i stoped playing in the end you get infected by the desise at some point near the start of the game. It means you must have a store of tablets at all times in case you have an attack which happens frequentlythis is un nessery and spoils the game. are there any good points why yes. The fire effects are som of the best I've seen really realistic. At some point you can get allies these will turn up in a battle when it seems like you are going to die and will help you in some way be it dragging you to gover giveing you some health or ammo or something. Game play for all the problmes the game play is good if you can find enemies before they kill you and the missions are pretty varied with lost of side missions so should you get this game well sadely the answer is no the problems with this game make it just about meadiocre but this by no means reflects on far cry 1 or the up comeing 3. 1 i know is very good even with the monisters it looks a bit dated but is still fun and 3 looks very very good. It's a real shame that this game is how it is because the core is so good it's just the problmes that let it down.
Ok I got this game the first time round an all I can say is wow ok the graphics may look a little dated but thats because it is an old game (well obviously)an is it good ? well in a word yes the first lets say half of the game at least is very good you start off in a bunker unarmed with no armor and no guide of where to go (don't worry it quite obvious) you pretty soon get a gun some armor and a guy who kind of guides you through the game. the enemy AI at the time was unparalled the mercs will flank you and adjust their tactics to the way you play (and there are many ways to play). Once you get half way through you will get to something called a trigen they are a kind of monster not too hard to kill but they are quite fun my overiding memory was in a kind of lab I releaced some from their cage an letting them kill the mercs in that room and then killing the trigens my self (ah good times) in short it was is and always will be a good game a word of warning though far cry 2 is very diffrent and notb of good although far cry 3v ( out soon looks good
