Video Game Reviews of Paraworld
Customer Review: but had to get a new mouse to program "pause"
Summary: 4 Stars
Have been playing this a long time and liked it so well I bought a new Logitech G5 gaming mouse in hopes that I could indeed program one of the 2 thumb buttons as a "pause" key, it worked! Runs nice and fluid using an AMD Athlon64 3500+ processor with XP on an NVidea 256MB DVI card giving me great rez on my flat screen and I also run TV on at the same time as Picture-in-picture. The DVI is great when running to the flatscreen, but VGA would suffice I am sure. The power is what most helps, the 3 gigs of ram I have probably doesn't hurt either. With prices these days one can really pump up a system! I oil the fan that is on the video card with silicone lube once a year, and things keep rockin'.
Great visuals with this game with ability to press the alt-key with use of left and right mouse buttons to either rotate the playing field or zoom in out I think. I use the wheel on the G5 mouse though for the zoom and usually keep it in one place. At times things are hidden from view though, so I pause and rotate to choice.
One drawback is inablilty to ever reprogram key assignments, just gotta find a mouse that will adapt to the game, game won't adapt to what you want it to ....... what key assignments are at in the game is just what you are stuck with. Minor infraction I guess when you are having so much fun. The higher the skill levels you choose for your computer opponents will basically be that amount of free goodies they will receive while you work your butt off for everything that you need. I have seen them just standing around non-depleting mounds of stone for ages and they never seem to come up short on stone, but then after you stomp them it is still there for your bounty as with spoils of war ..... oh what a truely base Jurrasic world we live in, is nothing sacred? I guess not, when they are quick to stomp you back if ever they can do it.
But I will stick with it now that I have the mouse doing what the game cannot do, give me that needed "pause" when I need it, without having to run for the keyboard, ahhhhh!
