When the company announced it was working on an actual game, it resulted in almost as many pairs of rolling eyes as the announcement of Microsofts new Bing search engine.
Okay, the Bing adverts are getting quite annoying now. Nobody uses it because it's useless. Then and again, if it pays for bit-tech I can close my eyes at it.
I would probably agree with your [7] if I hadn't been playing the game. But it's a lot of fun, and quite well ballanced. It really is only the individual skill and superior tactics that separates men from boys :)
Indeed, the lack of powerups and other weapons is a great burden for the game to carry. But, let's not forget about the DLC contents, which will be free of charge. And the game only costs 19.99 Euros (or 15 pounds), so that's quite interesting.
Anyway, I think an 8 or 8.5 would be more appropriate. But then again, both my score and your score are subjective.

That's an important point for us to clarify because, while it does increase the value of the product it also cannot and must not factor into the score or any part of this review because any information we have about it is either incomplete or purely speculative. If the DLC comes later and makes the game better, great - but it could equally come along and make the game a lot worse and, since we don't know which way it will go (along with how long it will take and whether circumstances might change in the mean time) then it's best if we just don't touch it.

Exactly: look at Left 4 Dead. From the amount of free content promised by Valve, who up to that point had never regained on a DLC promise, it was a dead cert 10 out of 10 game. But at the time, the DLC was purely speculative, and rightly so Bit-Tech gave it a 9/10 because it did feel slightly lacking in content.
Fast forward six months, and that promised DLC has dissapeared in a puff of smoke. I'm not complaining: the amount of new content in L4D2 is worthy of a new game, but the point is you can never, ever rely on future DLC.

From reading the review it is obvious that you never understood what makes this game at least a 9, maybe a 10.
Play for another month and review it again.
I have a good vocabulary, what does "minim" mean? Is that secret-handshake graphics terminology? Maybe a UK only word? (If you need someone to check your copy, hire someone)
Yours in 7 = 9 Plasma,

Oh god.
Im sure you have a wonderful vocabulary, but you do realise you're an untter d*** right?
a) This game is NOT a 9 or 10. You noob.
b) Head over to eurogamer or other websites that also reviewed the game and you will see that not only is this game not a 9 or a 10, but (and this may shock you)
THE INTERNET IS AWASH WITH SPELLING AND GRAMMATICAL ERRORS. GET OVER IT!

while i agree that the game could do with some variation in the weaponry and such, i think there is a certain value to this decided lack of gear; this is by far the most balanced game i have ever played. it is absolutely impossible to get a advantage in equipment, the maps are far to complicated to provide a substantial advantage to either team, and there are no turrets or siege weapons. it's a very strategy intensive game and i think that if they can add weapons to it while maintaining the balance of the game it has the potential to be very good.

ReplyThere are no crates in space. There are a few cargo containment devices, that are metal and have full physics simulation.

I like this game a lot. ;)
You're kidding, right?
