Armorines Project S.W.A.R.M
Reviewed by Josh McMann
Imagine saving the world from an army of super intelligent
bugs, hold on hasn't this been done before,with games such as body
harvest! well i guarantee you haven't seen any bug game do any thing
quite like this game does. in armorines your are either the brash lewis
or you're the thought bound lane trying to save the futuristic world from
an army of blood thirsty bugs while completing the objectives necessary
to make the mission efficient.
Graphics: 9 out of 10
the graphics in this game are spectacular definitely some of the best I've
seen on the N64. For instance on the volcano mission there is a waterfall
that truly looks like it is water, not only that but the bugs voracious
enough to kill any soldier to stop in their path. the lighting is spectacular
as well, there are very little defects and the rooms change accordingly.
The only flaws at all is that you will occasionally enter a room too dark
to see fortunately most of the time you have night vision glasses. this
game is also expansion pak compatible to make the graphics even more
spell binding.
Music and Sound: 10 out of 10
the sound is stereo quality so you will here every last bug part explode.
the humans do talk and scream its quite amusing to see a scientist run
from a malicious bug screaming "help me." the music is mostly bass sounds
with tribal drums adding a nice effect to the fighting in the game.
Game Challenge: 10 out of 10
As i think all games should this game has a difficulty selection screen
making it possible for you to choose how hard you want the game to be.
on "easy" the bugs aren't difficult to defeat the levels are the same but
you have less challenge on the way.on "normal the bugs are a bit more
difficult you have more to do within the game. on "hard" the bugs kill
with ruthless efficiency the objectives are much harder to complete
and the bosses are much harder to destroy.
Game Play-Fun: 10 out of 10
there is no doubt about it this game is fun, the game maintains challenge
while not being frustrating and allows you to control the big portion of
the action, the graphics are amazing so you have lots to look at, and the
game will keep you playing and absorb you into a world of action and excitement.
Replayability: 10 out of 10
you can play this game over without getting bored simply because there
is more you notice the second time through. this game does offer alternate
endings if you complete it under a certain time or if you find all the cheat secrets.
Game Value: 10 out of 10
this game would be worth almost any price considering that you get good
graphics,clean sound,great action,and fair objectives this game is especially
awesome if you have an expansion pak which offers more options to the gamer.
Overall: 10 out of 10
this game is worth it to check it out the game is intriguing and makes you
think a little more than first person shooters as well as providing action
that will make you come back for more.
