The Lurker Shock Trooper Member # 6821	written Saturday, March 4 2006 23:29 Profile #0 Bad : The gameplay could be a bit more balanced at times, some puzzles are a bit too hard in my opinion, one of the areas becomes 'unclearable' if you destroy a power spiral, there are still a few bugs/things that were not implemented/things that are not completely logical. Good : Pretty much everything else. 9.5 [ Sunday, March 05, 2006 22:39: Message edited by: The Lurker ] Posts: 363 | Registered: Wednesday, February 22 2006 08:00
Inthrall Warrior Member # 6629	written Saturday, March 4 2006 23:47 Profile Homepage #1 Well, I always hated the funny walking glitches (I got stuck walking in space once, and my character got dislocated off its circle thing). And the combat just got repetitive near the end. Apart from that, good! 8.0000425 (8sf) -------------------- "When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane."

JadeWolf Infiltrator Member # 5567	written Sunday, March 5 2006 02:37 Profile Homepage #2 8.5. A good game, but I didn't really enjoy it as much as GF2. Dunno why, though. -------------------- How many shapers are there? Why is Drypeak controlled by Zakary? Why is Barzahl a Guardian? How does the Geneforge work? What's as small as nothing? Why am I asking stupid questions? -------------------------------- Shaper teacher : "DON'T TOUCH THAT!"

Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Sunday, March 5 2006 09:01 Profile Homepage #4 Different. Completely different from anything Jeff had done before. There was a huge sense of discovery and exploration that the original Exile series had, which I loved. Combat was new but got repetitive; playing as all three classes was fun. 8.5 -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, March 5 2006 09:27 Profile Homepage #5 As the original, it gets rated higher than the sequels just because it is different from everything that came before it and is very inventive as well. It has fewer features than the later games, but I actually prefer fewer features (to a point). The option to use the Geneforge is a huge advantage over the other games. It was fun and I'm still trying new strategies. I'm still trying to figure out what Jeff was planning for that nest in Pentil Woods, though. Overall, Dikiyoba gives it a respectable 8.5.

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Sunday, March 5 2006 19:04 Profile Homepage #7 It introduced a totally new system that I loved at first and got bored of towards the end. (On the other hand, it was at LEAST as good as a FF-game in this respect.) The plot wasn't half-shabby at that point since we had only seen it once. I'm tempted to knock it down a bit because of how unbearably crappy its sequels would become, but I won't. 8.0 -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00
