"Aurora Watching" is different... It's more like Metal Gear Solid / Splinter Cell games. Read the PREVIEW, it looks very promising...

I'm a little bit confused... There is a crack on GCW for "Aurora Watching", posted 2 days ago. It says that is for POLISH version, but when I click on the link, it's ENGLISH version... lol

Well with a pretty low average don't expect it to be amazing. Looking at the screens it seems pretty simplistic I might grab it anyway since I cant bat on Cricket 2005 Mad

installin now <review to follow in a bit>

edit: Ok I only did the training mission but i'll explain more later.



here are the settings I played it on. I left them as the default and decided not to mess about with them



Here are the controls. I only took a SS of this because I noticed there wasn't a crouch/prone button which I found a surprise in a game like this

ok onto the training. It consists of a 'tutor' narrating what you need to do. At first the voice was annoying but as long as you can 'block it out' then it wont get to you as much.

The first part you need to navigate through a maze, just telling u about the different camera angles pretty much.

(It's all basic in the tutorial area but from playing a lil bit of the first mission I saw these effects were much better.)

There are the usual 'stealth' things like hacking computers

which are all done by the push of a button.

Once you get a gun (there's no iron sights option which is a bit stupid) you get to shoot these barrels


(o look amazing explosion effects Rolling Eyes)

Even on this bit i noticed a bug!





the 3rd shot if about 10 seconds after the first and they're still spinning Razz

Here's a shot of the 'sophisticated' aiming......


The 'crosshairs' get smaller if left on the target for a bit.



You can 'drag' people to i suppose shadowed areas although I didnt try / experience this in the tutorial.

Now for the 'annoying' thing.



'SILENCED AMMO' WTF?!?!?!?! this brainless shit pissed me off



here's me about to pwn after laying a 'beeping' device to attract the enemies.

And thus ending the tutorial mission!

Well i went to load the main game but it crashed giving me this error:



I did reload the game and noticed some pretty nicer enviroments and 'discoverd' some binoculars



(where were these in the tutorial?!?!?!)

Anyway I gave up on it for the moment. I'll do a 'proper' review later but so far it's looking lame / uninventive.

Graphics are okey but the controls are worthless, no feeling, the sounds aint good either. The english on the tutorial is really a shame to call english...

Try it if you want... I didn't like it!

I downloaded it, gave it a shot, not worth the bandwidth. I'll admit when I was going through the Tut. I was pretty into the game. Then I actually played it and after a few pointless deaths due to bad object collisions and the dumb fire fight right after the Snow-Mobile level I deleted the game.

When you make a game, make it so if you have line of sight with your crosshairs and clearly enough room to shoot OVER a box you shoot OVER the box and not INTO it because your gun model is actually below the top of the box. Crosshairs are for where your bullet goes, not where it could go as long as you have a good 2ft of clearance infront of you which makes you a sitting duck at that point in the game. Guess I coulda used genades or something but if shooting over/around objects is going to be a problem the game isn't worth it. I had a similar problem at the beginning shooting over a little divider for small cubicles.
