Video Game Reviews of Iron Storm
Customer Review: It is very good, but a few glitches....
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, this game is very well done and it is a challenge campared to Medal of Honor.
1:Very good graphics-Graphics are very good with a small glitch but otherwise good.
2:Very good sound-The sound is very realistic.
3:Very good enemy AI-The enemy AI is very good, and they will fire upon you if they see you.
4:Very good weapons-You get different weapons as the game goes on, and the enemy gets tougher.
5:6 long levels- The levels are extremly long and are a challenge.
My only problem with the game is when you get to certain points you can't go on and you have to figure out how to get past it. It can be very frustrating but if you think(or look online), you will get passed it.
I would rate it a 4 star, but when I get stuck, it takes a while to figue out.
Customer Review: Great concept game
Summary: 4 Stars
A lot of reviewers had complaints about this game that I never saw. I hesitated in buying this game because of some of the reviews, but I went ahead because I had wanted it since I first came across it in the store. I installed it on my PC and then loaded the patch available at the manufacturer's website. I never had any problems with the engine or crashing. Everything in the single player mode ran smoothly. I never really tried out the multiplayer.
I thought this game was awesome. I wish the battlefield action had extended later into the game, but the levels were very well done. There was a wide variety of action, from trying to assault a bombed-out church and enemy trenches to sneaking around a giant armored train. The weapons and technology were really innovative conceptually if not in actual game play. The guns and fortifications were exactly how I would imagine them to be if WWI were still going on 50 years later. The story was kind of broken up, but still very interesting. All in all, I'd say I got my money's worth and then some since this game was so cheap by the time I bought it. Iron Storm had a lot of great things going for it, but my favorite feature was being able to switch your view back and forth between 1st and 3rd person perspectives. I gave it 4 stars, but would in reality give it 4.5 if possible.
Customer Review: It had potential....
Summary: 3 Stars
I really liked this game the first time I played it. The graphics are good, the battles are fun, and it is really challenging. The second time I played it however, it had lost almost all of its fun. This is one of the most scripted games I have ever played. The same things happen in the single player every time you play because the AI is incredibly scripted. The gameplay is diverse, but it just has no replay value at all. The multiplayer is quite bad as it is very laggy and the maps are not good at all. If you played a demo version and want to play the rest, then by all means buy this game, beat it, then sell it. If you have beat it once, you will never want to play it again. The developers could have made it so much better by just trying to make the gameplay a little less linear.Customer Review: Few Flaws but, a lot of Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Iron Storm is probably one of the most gross games I have ever played but also one of the most fun. The fact that when you toss a grenade at someone they blow up and thier limbs go flying splattering blood everywhere.I know war is terrible but this is just unreal. If your squimish this is not the game for you. I've also noticed in the first level if you shoot one of the soldiers they fire back and try and kill you but, if you kill the nurse or the cheifs no one cares, weird. The game has a lot of pluses too, for instance the guns abosisly have been made from a junk yard do to lack of resorces and all of the weapons are farely crude(Awsome). Another cool factor in the game is that you can sneek up on an enemy and kill them with your sabre with one hit. Bening in the treches most of the game is pretty scary when your first playing it, you could die just around the corner. The towns look fantastic graphic wise. AI is sort of a bust, for instance I was out of ammo and I just walked around the bad guy and killed him with my sabre. Other than that the game is lots of fun if your in to half-life and Quake kinds of games.Customer Review: Download the patch first! Pretty good but has flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, the goofy reviewers who panned this game because they could'nt get it to work should have downloaded the patch (software installation 101). But, all that aside, this game has some good points and some bad points.
Good: The sniper weapon and missions where you get to use it. Poison gas is good for some laughs too (mu-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah!). The rapid fire grenade gun is pretty cool and the battle environments are large and offer plenty of hiding/attack places.
Bad: Missions not clearly defined and mission bugs. Like the one where you have to lay mines down to stop a tank; I wound up standing on top of it, throwing mines from the roof of the tank(??!!). Other wacky missions, fighting a guy in heavy armor with a bazooka....in a tunnel....and you are armed with a rifle (The game suddenly turns into Serious Sam. Sheesh!!)
The game has good points and bad points, but I'm still playing it.
