Reviews for "The Strangers"
Bad controls
I like sniper games, but the controls in this one prevented me from having fun.
Not very realistic..
Two snipers covering an entire area..sure I suppose you tried..
But I ran out of ammo? What's up with that man, all I get is 5 shots per guy? I hit every shot just so you know and regulary switched snipers, but..what? I must of taken out like 9 'strangers' only to be told one area is clear, I move my sniper to another area only to find this so called 'menace' cropping up where it said secure? Couldn't move my sniper back in time so..yeah..
I love sniper games but you could do with making this more realistic. Personally I enjoyed the not having to face off against 20 terrorists firing AK 47's at me whilst I try to snipe from one position. The fact you can change positions is a great touch to a game like this though.
Work on this, make it like a strategy game where you go in alone, or with a team and pick a position, fire, pick a position etc completing your mission that way. Have one in a jungle perhaps, or one set in Iraq where you have to stop a convoy, then take out the gunners so your squad can move in and wipe out the remaining forces. Nice big powerhouse of a sniper rifle, loud and proud for that mission.
Wheras do one with nightvision when your on your own, with a silenced sniper rifle at night on a boat somewhere. The people will thank you.
Trust me, it'll make a change from all these 'ooh, wait for the guy to show himself and plug him one' or 'you must kill these 3 guys in this order' bullshit that the snipers games are these days..
All in all I like this game. At least your trying something differant and not making another clone of another sniper game..see 'Chav hunter' then 'Clear vision' and you'll see what I mean.
Nice work there buddy.
6 stars, because it was good, kept me playing but just needs that extra something to make it stand out.
A+ concept, poor execution.
Shooting games in flash are hard to make fun. In fact, shooting games even for PCs and consoles are hard to make fun because of many different factors. But it's especially hard for self-contained flash games because there's not a whole lot of room for AI and user interactions.
Anyway, I'm a fan of sniping. It takes different kinds of skills which are often neglected. So I was excited at the posibility of a shooting game here which is more than a simple point-and-click. And to some extent this game succeeds magnificantly.
Covering different areas with 2 shooters is brillant idea. And the execution of it is just as good. But then we run into problems with determining just where in the position your target is. The radio announcing where you should put your shooters is very helpful, but actually finding them after you're settled in is the problem.
This is a great idea. I'm absolutely thrilled by it. But the execution just leaves me hanging. When/if there's a sequel for this you can bet I'll be jumping on it.
many flaws but quite good
Theres definately the timing issue, and I dont understand those corner hints
"Menace on position 2"
When you get to position 2, you have like 10 seconds to look for someone that isnt even there >:( and you end up losing. Improve please
