I was really turned off by the demo. I love the graphic style, but the gameplay just seemed meh. Will give the full a go and see if I can't change my mind about it.
Maybe with the manaul Ill actually be able to understand a bit more than last time heh.

Yea, but PC Gamer UK is a biased source on this title, for several reasons.
A. Its a UK development team.
B. They did interviews with dev. team in pubs etc etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the Introversion guys loaned their wives to a few of the reviewers in order to..."boost" the ratings so to speak =)
Don't get me wrong, Uplink was great, and all I have is respect for these guys, but ehrm , PC Gamer UK is a bad place to go for a review of this one heh.

Looks like a very budget version of Tron. But the review sounds very promising so I'll give it a shot.

I lost all respect for PC Gamer UK after they gave deus ex 2 90% or some such shit.

So? There are lots of games, movies and music developed in the UK, you mean that every review (if UK based) is biased? Riiiight.. What about US based games and US reviewers, those reviews must be biased too right?

...and they did the same to everyone else who has reviewed the game, and perhaps to some people in the forum too? Sorry, but your attempts of showing a conspiracy theory here is a bit... pathetic, to say the least.

On level 2 thusfar. Here is the gist of the game for those of you who are having trouble with it or wanna know the general type o feel before ya play.
Basically, you insta summon units (you are limited to 3 units at any one time, until later.) You summon units via holding down alt and drawing a loosely conforming shape (a la Sacrifice. anyone remember that title? think it had that same deal in it anyway). Now, your basic units are your squad and engineers. You can summon engineers anywhere a squad is located, but squads themselves can be summoned only at buildings your engineers have gained control of.
Now, when shit dies, it leaves behind tiny red cubes (souls). Your engineers collect these cubes, take them back to incubator buildings, and out pop lil green civilian men.
Here's the kicker though. If an enemy collector gets the red cubes (or YOUR cubes from when your men/darwinians die), they pick them up, and lay eggs. These eggs hatch into the units all over again. Thus, its like a tug of war until you manage to collect all the souls in a given area. As far as I know, the enemy collectors (airborne) are invulnerable. And if they're not, anyone wanna clue me in on how to kill em?
Once you figure out the interface/controlscheme/limits, game is pretty damn fun. Hectic trying to summon dead engineers with mouse while simultaneously keeping your squad from getting swarmed by enemy. Remember, your squad serves like a mobile spawn base for engineers, which are vital.
As far as what vurt said regarding my response to PCGUk, well, I shoulda clarified my meaning a bit more. Too lazy now , and you do have somewhat of a point, so you win this round =)
However, as Animal Mother stated: | Quote: | | I lost all respect for PC Gamer UK after they gave deus ex 2 90% or some such shit. |
which is kinda the gist of what I was getting at. PCGUk are unreliable reviewers heh.

You can kill them with granades when they are near ground.
How do you rescue the Darwinians? A have collected alot of souls and convertet to Darwinians but my counter still says 3? Are you suposed to move them to a speciall location or what?
EDIT: Nevermind, you have to move them to the big tree in middle of the map, safe zone.

Some ppl here are just spoiled with HL2/Doom3/Far Cry gfx. This is meant to be like this! And as usuall, gfx aint all. Don't hear many complain about Super Mario Bros 1 having lame gfx. Most ppl say its a fun game.

Yeah but if a game came out with graphics like super mario 1 now, and they were charging $30 for it, then I don't think they would be the only ones to complain about crap graphics.
It's all relative to the time period, and nowadays we expect alot from full priced games, because we know what our hardware is capable of.
