Post by: JP on March 12, 2002, 10:37:07 AM: yeah this game has long load times but i don\'t mind all that much. Load times have never bothered me to be honest.

Yeah, tell us, I\'m interested too.

I\'ve heard that it\'s not that linear after all, and you still have to explore a bit from time to time. Is it like that or is it like... uhm, ZOE?

Post by: StAnZo on March 13, 2002, 12:24:30 AM: Iv\'e played it for about 3 hours and i\'m enjoying it very much. Think of Duke Nukem crossed with Tomb Raider and
throw in a little black magic and your nearly there. i rate it but thats my personal opinion.
Borders are minimal and the resolution of the game is very good. no jaggies here and it runs at about 30 fps and for most
of the time it\'s stable. The main downfall i suppose is the combat elements but these can be looked past,
as there isn\'t as much fighting as i thought there would be. Exploration is the meat and veg of this game,
it took me ages to find these bird skulls but patients pays off.. this game comes into it\'s own later on.

I like this game and if you enjoyed any of the Duke Nukem games from the PS1 (or PC) then give it a rent..
then it wont hurt your pocket.

StAnZo\'s Rating: 7.5+/10
