Good story bad flash
I like the small story u got there with the beacons. I like how u get a hologram that can shoot but there are so many problems. The upgrade system is screwed to hell I was able to continue buying upgrades with low amounts of money even they it said it need more. The game lags realy bad. I like the spartan look and the bugs in the movie part looked like the ones in starship troopers, I think that was the name. Hopefully the third wont be this bad.
Great game... but.
There are several mistakes in this game. First off, the effort. I have come close to the fourth becon, as many of us have, after several very hard attempts to get that far, and I passed away. I could not revert back to that location, nor could I start from somewhere beyond the beginning. I would suggest that in the next one (if there is), add a checkpoint once or twice throughout the game. Two, the laser. The laser is a great weapon, but has a flaw: extremely slow recharge, and thus only one chance to really use it during a fierce battle. Next time (or this time), fix the laser so that it doesn't take a full fourty seconds to recharge. Other than that, I can't see any faults with the game. Good sequel!
Just like the first one!
Pros- Just like the first one, a fun alien shooter with energy based wepons.
Cons- Just like the first one, theres seemingly an ending, but you cannot EVER get there.
not bad
Ive got similar complaints as everyone else
it could really use a save feature so you don't get to the third beacon and realize the new "energy chugging laser" doesn't become as much of a problem because you can load and change your style of fighting to adapt to the loss of energy efficiency.
if that doesn't sound like a good idea simply make the laser take less power to use, it may be overly powerful, but isn't that really the idea of upgrading systems that the heavily upgraded or maxed out guns make the game almost to easy?
also you could have always set it so you can switch to the laser by pressing 5 rather then it replacing our old guns.
anyway,
gameplay = smooth and quite fun (until you die and have to start over)
graphics = sure everything's black with a bit of color added in places but it gives you the feeling of a massive fight with lots of bugs = not the best but fulfill the purpose well
sound = below average = music was okay at death and there wasn't anything but some kind of white noise in game, nothing real special about any of the other sounds
overall = 7.5 = could use improvements but you on your way
WTF!?? And I don't have a continue option why?
Everything is pretty good, I like the concept and story line. Even though the broken message was a nice touch, I didn't understand how it went from cries for help on beacon 3 to good job soldier on beacon 4. Maybe the storyline covers that at the end... BEFORE I DIED AND HAD TO RESTART THE WHOLE THING!!! Not interested enough to replay and find out. Work in progress. Good work in progress.
