This game was a bit janky in the controls, but the story and atmosphere were incredible, and it was a lot of fun to play. The graphics were bright and colourful without looking too cartooney, and the soundtrack was amazing. It's got a lot of fun weapons and a great variety of levels.
Such a cool FPS game with very advanced graphics at the time. You had powers and guns as the hero and you even had your own comic book! It was made just for the game.
Loved this game as a kid. It was pretty challenging, but I managed to make it through most of it, I don't remember if I actually finished it or not. The mixture of tech and magic was pretty cool. I had to remember to stay away from certain areas in the game when my mom was in the room, some of the character designs she wouldn't have approved of.
One of the first games I ever played, alongside classic such as BG1 and BG2. It was one of the first games which captivated me and enthralled me, with the depth and appeal of video games. It's stuck with me all these years and was my gateway to PC gaming.
This was the first superhero game I played that wasn't just a licensed side-scroller. I used to collect Marvel as a kid so I was hopeful that Marvel or DC might make more games with RPG elements but, alas, it wasn't to be. I wish EA would make more of their back catalog available for sale.
"Old-World" comics artstyle and inspiration material, even in the form of bonus extra! Game itself is top-notch (at its time, notorious for needing a strong machine to perform well), "hidden gem" (low popularity, close to zero advertizing), highly difficult (dangerous battles at every corner) and unusually innovative... Tried to incorporate RPG elements and be something like a "System-Shock", before System-Shock was a thing, or something!
One of the very first FPS games ever, to also utilize driving of vehicles on ground and air. And nothing is missing, from the good-old-formula: Gore, check (!), Teets, check (wee!), Satisfying battles (!), no modern day politics nonsense whatsoever or god-forbid, woke-cacophony, of any sorts!
Games like this, encompass all those (unfortunately bygone) aspects that made classic PC games, superior to modern ones. Just throw Cyberpunk in the trash-can & kill it with fire, then grab this masterpiece right here and PROFIT, WIN!
Fire Emblem: Radiant DawnRadiant Dawn is a turn-based tactics RPG and a direct sequel, 3 years have passed, to the game "Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance" for the Nintendo GameCube. It features new magic, class upgrades, weapons, and a reworked forging system.
The game uses a somewhat upgraded version of the previous engine so the games look similar. You can carry over some data from the previous games save file but only a normal or hard mode file will work because a bug will cause the Wii to freeze if an easy mode save file is on the GameCube memory card.Action Fantasy
