Outcast 1.1

I still have my 2 cd's Outcast and the booklet, i bought it at 2000. I have finished this game so many times... It's such a great game.

A great. A legend. An amazing game that paved the way for many that came after. And the music.....oh the music! This comes with the soundtrack and its great. I got this for $2.99. An phenomenal bargain.

Atmosphere, graphics, story, all percfect!

The smooth gameplay makes it easy to enjoy from beginning to end, and its flaws much less bothersome than they could have been. I recommend it to anyone who would like to play a third-person shooter action-rpg with an inventory but not leveling. The Good +Free roam with villages and side-quests. +Good enemy AI. +Ridable mount. Mounted combat. +Gameplay is very smooth once you get used to the unusual menus. +Decent dialog and good voice acting. +Sci-fi theme that doesn't take itself more seriously than it should. The Bad -The vast majority of enemy soldiers are placed unintelligently with the most basic weapons, largely negating the benefit of the good AI past the beginning. -Explosion radius is unintuitive, extending farther than is obvious. -Weapons and many items have unintuitive names. -Weapons are unbalanced. -Mid-game is very easy. -Ending sequence is a pain due to cheapness, won't let you backtrack, and hits somewhat unexpectedly.

I had bought this game due to it having one of the best user ratings on Good Old Games. I suppose it must have been a great game for it's time, but I personally did not enjoy playing it very much.
