ehhh...nooo... no no no no no....not gunna cut it... nope,not at all... FGS! I WAS SO EXCITED AND IT FAILED ME!!11oneone
It had to fail me. Firstly, the box never stayed closed. i had to move all my disks in that box to another one. now let's get on to what you really want in a review:
~-gameplay~-
Not gunna cut it. The battles are not numerous.We want battles! Not occasional units shooting eachother! Why is this? Because the stupid creators decided to make a VERY VERY low unit limit. There is absolutely NO strategy. You just scout the enemy base, see what units are there and drop anything that kills them onto the planet. But some of you will say: "who cares? The cinematic camera will fix those flaws since we won't notice them!" YOU STAND CORRECTED!! The cinematic camera sucks. no! NO NO NO! terrible! One moment it zooms onto the battle, you enjoy then fling! It zooms to some random unit on the map that's not doing anything. And plus it has this very irritating rattle movement!
The space battles are moderately decent with nice special effects. The camera somewhat looks good in them! If only they put collision geometry into it! I often see fighters, corvettes, heck even CAPITAL SHIPS noclipping right into space stations and each other. Noclipping is going through as if it or you are a ghost.
So total gameplay: 4/10
~-Graphics~-
The most decent part of the game are the graphics! It's all so purdy!!! ^_^
The shading has very nice effect on the ships. What more must i say? It looks great!
Best of all, my PC can't run brothers in arms at every lowest quality but it can run this at highest quality without lag! Buuuut it has one flaw: The "heat distortion" only makes your screen blurry and that's it.
graphics:9/10
~-Replayability~-
What must i say? Its totally replayable,yet the battles are very repetetive after a few weeks. replayability:7/10
~-sound~-
Ehhh...no...
The ocasional movie music is fine. But the music they made for the game is just terrible and noisy. All the sound effects are true to the movies though. (BUT the death voices of the infantry sounds like a cat)
total: 6/10
~-value~-
49.99$ is SO going too far. 1/10
so 4+9+7+6+1=27 / 5 = 5.3. The closest thing i can rate compared 5.3 is 5.5. So there you have it. the review.
and if gamespot deletes it for whatsoever reason,this review that took me half an hour,i'll spam your forums!!! >:(
