Has anyone played Will Rock?

[pinatubo]

Will Rock is a game from UbiSoft (http://www.will-rock.com/). I heard that it's very much like Serious Sam. Has anyone else played it? Comments?

I've played the single player demo. It was pretty fun. But I think there are still problems with the multiplayer netcode (sound familiar? :oooo: ). So until I hear that online fragmatch works well, I ain't buying it.

It's a fun budget single player game but multiplayer is unplayable. Check out Jim's review. He explained it perfectly.

yeah, I read the review. I was just checking for more opinons. It's cheap enough to just buy on an impulse, but pricey enough to make me wish I hadn't bought it if I don't like it.

they have a demo available for download. The game is pretty much like that.
Just don&#39;t be expecting to do the multiplayer thing until they get the bugs worked out...

Sounds like SS2&#33; :bandhead: :bandhead: :bandhead: :bandhead:

I just played the demo.Well...lets see what we got.

Graphics>A mixed bag.After playing the amazing looking UT2003 since last oct using DirectX 8,I was scratching my head trying to figure out why I had to upgrade to DX 9 to play Rock.(Come on Saber/Ubi,where&#39;s the eye candy? The water in this game looks little better than the water in the 1st Tomb Raider&#33;)

Sound>Hands down the worst sound I&#39;ve heard in a game since the early 90s. Sounds like you&#39;ve got tin cans over your ears.(Even in great halls or courtyards the ambience never changes.It always sounds like bathroom reverb on all sound effects.) :WTF:

Control>The mouse sensitivity changes depending on the size of the area your in&#33;If your out in the open your fine,walk into a hallway or tunnle and the sensitivity gets cut in half&#33;I have never seen this happen on any other game.Unless this is addressed,I don&#39;t see any way death match will ever work in this game.(Also the field of vision stinks.I felt like I was wearing horse blinders.No peripheral vision at all.

Will Rock> I&#39;ve seen people in nursing homes that are more agile&#33;

Enemies> CHEAP&#33; Nuff said.

Bugs> Oh God,this game has more bugs than a 3rd world prison. (I got stuck in the same wall 3 times&#33; It&#39;s also really cool how the devs made the doors open outward pushing you out of the way.Sometimes if your lucky you can get stuck in the doors just standing there&#33;)

Bosses> The lamest boss fight in recent memory. Oh yeah,nothing spells excitement like circle strafing a giant cyclops as he tries to projectile vomit on you, while birds poop molten lava on your head&#33; (Shoot rocket launcher at boss,repeat until bored out of your mind.)

Weapons>With one exception,nothing you haven&#39;t seen before.


Now on to the good things this demo had to offer.


:w00t: The Matador player model for DM. That is hands down the coolest player model I&#39;ve EVER seen&#33; :lol:
(not that it matters,there are no servers running.)

:devil: The acid gun&#33; :jammin: (Wish it had more range though.)



Will Rock...Does not.

I think the bugs in the demo have been fixed in the game now. But otherwise that was a pretty good assessment Pluto&#33; :thumbs:
