Review :: Warmonger - Operation: Downtown Destruction - PC

[HEXUS]

Warmonger from NetDevil, breaks the mould. It’s a 437Mb download for a game that is so poor that I’m actually resenting using my time downloading it, even though I was off doing something else at the time...

lol.....oh that's one for avoidance then chap....and your LANGUAGE.....! tut tut

And of course the lack of logic in the game world makes it through to this area of Warmonger too. My favourite is the fact I can utterly decimate a concrete road block with my machine gun (fair enough, it’s a futuristic machine gun so I’ll accept that it can mince concrete), yet I’m foiled by a wooden door, of the kind B&Q sell in their budget range, which in the future is apparently hammer, bullet and rocket proof. Perhaps B&Q should use that in their advertising? They could get Barry Scott to do the ad: “HI! I'm Barry Scott! Being attacked by soldiers from the future? Get a B&Q half glazed door! That’ll **** ‘em!”

Well, it shows how bloody frustrating it is to have illogical game worlds... we might as well go back to the 'invisible barrier' games to keep you within the map if the world doesn't act in any logical way.

I guess it's just exasperation after everything else.. such as getting shot by an AI enemy who's standing through the floor of a bus...

Next up in Warmonger is a mod that shows how the JFK magic bullet would actually work in this world... allegedly.

Tempted to download this, just to see how bad it is!

Soooo....you didn't like it then...?

Ok, you know those flash game sites? You click on a game for a go and after a minute or so of loading you're playing but the game is utter pap?

Well, so what, it's only a few minutes of your time wasted...

But now slip that into the context of a 437Mb download and a 15-20 minute install...

Yeah, it's free and financially you've lost nothing but I can give away gravel from the roadside for free... does that mean it's any good or worth having?

Thanks for the review.. I was considering a download because it's free.. AA was and is free.. That has some problems with clipping but is a good game.
I haven't played the game but it brings back memories of "back in the day" games that today suck"
I'll avoid thanks to you
