Customer Rating: Summary: Daza Comment: I was pretty disappointed with this game. Apart from the fact the the graphics were pretty lame, the AI was poor and the game play was very much the same from level to level. I should have know there was a reason the game was so cheap. I wanted it to be at least passable but just as it was getting to that stage. The game was over, trust me this is a very short game. Please do not waste your money. Customer Rating: Summary: PATRIOTS: A NATION UNDER FIRE: NEGATIVE REVIEW Comment: I am still kicking myself for talking myself into spending $24 for the game AND shipping, etc.... I won't bore you with details. Wait for when it's available for $0.01 and then let your little cousin use it for a BB gun target. Yeah. It's THAT bad. Customer Rating: Summary: A Great Budget Shooter Comment: Patriots: A Nation Under Fire is a fantastic game for the budget-minded or budget-game-liking consumer who wants a game to just sit down and have fun with. As with most budget games, Patriots has it's fair share of quirkiness, but that's what makes these games so much fun! I give praise to the development team. They obviously worked very hard on this game.
First, some good points:
-Great weapon selection
-Awesome sound effects, the guns sound very realistic
-Lots of blood and gore...shoot a terrorist up close and see what happens to his head!
-Nicely designed levels
-Enemy AI is pretty good
Now, some areas for improvement:
-Load times are pretty long
-Menu could be slighty better designed
-Some levels are very hard, probably more than necessary.
Overall, Patriots is a nice game from this budding team! Customer Rating: Summary: Not a pleasurable gaming experience. Comment: Where do I start with listing the problems with this game? The graphics are very, very outdated. It looks like a game straight out of 1999. It's got lots of jaggies, clipping, guns sticking through buildings, character models look really bad too.
The menus are unresponsive, the hostages in the missions do not follow you half the time when they are supposed to. The plot is ludicrous. Also, the pace of this game is way,way too fast. You are running at top speed throughout the entire game and constantly spinning and moving very fast. After an hour or two of playing this game, it made me very, very dizzy and nauseous.
The missions are also very short and because you are moving so fast you will complete this short game in no time at all. It all feels like an arcade shooter from the 90s. There are just hordes and hordes of enemies who come pouring out at you at a seemingly endless rate. Patriots Nation Under Fire just wasn't a pleasant gaming experience for me, even at a budget price it's just not worth it.
