Slaughter Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Yurri have been kind enough to provide us with a little summary of the Score magazine review. You can expect a full translation later on, if he finds the time, but here's the main points:GOODS: Fantastic combat system, solid graphics, really looong gameplay ( 40+ hours), quantity of weapons and equipment, very similar to legendary X-Com series BADS: Occasional AI problems, nastily processed menu, music is almost missing and poorer sound, after time repeated owing to poor storyline presentation VERDICT: Excellent game, which in continuous way relates on tradition of beloved X-Com series 86%.................review by Score magazine.Thanks to Yurri for the summary, looking forwards to the translation!

Kahnnalxy`tys Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 What does he mean with nastily processed menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I hope these AI problems are really occasional... I hate it when creatures in games start running into obstacles or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 I am not sure Kahnn. I just concluded it meant that the menu is annoying in some way. Guess we'll get a closer description soon. And I agree on the AI issue SV. Hope that's minor. But I guess the score would have been hurt more if not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norway Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Finaly a review/preview that tells us the truth. Its great to hear it has good features in the game. But why havnt we been told about the lack of AI and lack of music/sound before ? Previews cant realy be trusted. But a preview with both sceptic and posetiv comments are trustworthy in my oppinion. Im realy tired of looking at those 100% perfect game previews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 There was one preview at least that mentioned some problems with the AI (think it was the one in the forum). And reason they don't say too much negative in previews is that it's based on a alpha or pre-alpha stage off the game. They know that such a version lacks many features, and are full of bugs. As for the review summary, it says "Occasional AI problems". That doesn't have to mean the AI sucks. It may just mean that the aliens now and then get stuck or something. It's not a good thing whatever the truth is though... Anyway, I look forwards to reading a review myself, not to mention playing the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Nasty MENUS - It is meant that THE MENUS are sometimes not very nice looking + also not very transparent or easy to use - or Friendly to USE :dontgetit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
