Good Concept, Nice Graphics

User Rating: 7 | Genesis Rising: The Universal Crusade PC
By Lord_Protheus | Review Date:
I don't agree with GameSpot this time. Genesis Rising is a real nice game. The concept with organic ships ans all that stuff is a nice idea. Yet it has bugs and disbalancements ... i have to admit.
That anorganic ships are compatible and upgradable with genes is one of the things i didn't understood. But I do like story and setting. The Units ... well ... could have been just a few more and the story lacks some real surprises but it's still no bad one. Ikonah is someone the player might have better grown into if he played more of his life growing with him. That 40 years later thingy wasn't the best solution for gettin' the story going.
But nevertheless a good game that is definately more that just "mediocre".
