its a good game
Reviews for "Shadez2: Battle for Earth"
Close to being a good game, but not quite...
It has potential. It's easy to play and enjoyable for a while but it has too many problems. The missions are repetitive consisting of only two objectives really, either destroy the enemy or save citizens. The transport copters are awkward to use and reluctant to land, the game itself isn't particularly challenging. Most maps could be won easily by simply spamming infantry for example. The upgrading system made only minor differences to units and seemed like it had been added on at the end far too quickly. And, of course, it's incredibly frustrating when you group select your units only to find you've accidentally sent a load of civilians with them. Oh, and for some reason I had to keep manually ordering my ore collectors to go and actually collect the ore unless it was sitting right next to the refinery.
Finally, there's very little to keep me coming back to it. After playing through it once there's nothing really that makes me want to play it again.
Despite all this though, I was still having fun. I did at least play the game through once. It has potential but it needs a larger variety in missions, as well as some that are actually challenging, the civilians need to be altered so they can't be selected, the ore collectors need to be intelligent enough to actually COLLECT the ore without being told manually, and a larger hotkey system would've been nice. Selecting the HQ with the 1 key is fine, but why not the barracks with 2 or the factory with 3? All my issues with the game are really only minor things, but they stop this game being what it could be. It feels like it's been rushed. The ideas are there, the basic mechanics are there but the game really needs fine tuning.
Fun, too easy and in desperate need of some improvements but still worth playing through once.
AWSOME
very fun
Awesome
I don't know what everyone's bitching about. It was an awesome game, amazing graphics, great gameplay, a few bugs that's true (for example, if you are near civilians and select one of your unit and a civilian you can move the civilians), and the selection wasn't too good, but except that, damn this game is awesome. It's just so fun. Great job.
familiar
at seems to me that this is some sort of cheap knock off of the old command and conquer games. except that it was 2d which made it terrible. if you intend to make a knock off, at least try to make it as good as the original.
