Video Game Reviews of Iron Storm
Customer Review: serious design flaws
Summary: 1 Stars
My computer exceeds system requirements for the game and I could barely get passed the intro screen before I got kicked back to my desktop. I tried reinstalling without any positive success and have neither the time or energy to mess with patches or customer support (based on earlier reviews it sounds like it would'nt do much good anyway). No, I think I will just return this "game" and avoid future Dreamcatcher titles.Customer Review: A True Brain Tester
Summary: 5 Stars
I've completed several games from start to finish, even received 4 stars (general) in Janes USAF, but I have never finished a game with tears in my eyes. I felt like I had just won a hugh battle against several large grizzlies. Tip, be patient.Customer Review: Game suffers from serious functionality flaws
Summary: 1 Stars
Ignoring the last reviewer, I will most certainly share the problems I've experienced thus far with this game. If I could give the game "0" stars, I would in a heartbeat.My system exceeds the minimum listed requirements for this game (My NVidia TNT2 card is specifically mentioned as being supported). In fact, it exceeds most of the recommended requirements. I have not been able to get the game to work at all. After running the intial video introduction, the game crashes and returns me to my desktop.
Attempts to contact technical support have not been successful. A check of the user forums on their website reveals that many, many people have experienced similar problems with no support from Dreamcatcher.
I've loaded dozens of similar games on my pc without any major problems. Not one problem with Medal of Honor or Delta Force.
Never have I experienced such a lack of customer commitment than I have with Dreamcatcher. It is almost as if they know they've released a bad product and are too shadey to acknowledge it or make any serious attempts to do anything about it.
I strongly recommend against purchasing this game. If you want a fun military FPS game, go with Medal Of Honor, Delta Force or something else more reputable.
Save yourself money and lots of frustration.
"Computer ineptitude." Bah!
Customer Review: Don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the latest in a line of boring 1st person shooters that attempt to approximate war. You will spend much of your time with Iron Storm reloading saved games. Many levels actually require you to die several times in order to reveal where the bad guys are. Save, get shot, reload, takeout sniper, repeat. How is this fun?BTW, enough with the game reviews by people who couldn't get the game working. Your computer ineptitude is not relevant to the rest of us.
Customer Review: Plenty of flaws but still a good game.
Summary: 3 Stars
It is a good game. I've taken an interest in alternate history and that's why I bought this. First of all, I noticed the name Dream Catcher appearing when I started the game. I was a bit nervous because I played From Dusk Til Dawn which is also Dream Catcher and it was so horrible I stopped playing. In this game, you play as Lieutenant James Anderson. World War 1 never ended, lasted for 50 years. The character models are ok but they're nothing special. The graphics are excellent. There is also great atmosphere. You see bodies and wrecked tanks on the battlefield, even old fashioned cannons. Now onto the bad things. There are bugs. In some levels you can get shot through the wall by enemies. You can barely aim the rocket launcher at the enemy helicopters(not a bug but pretty annoying). Plus the game is very difficult, large waves of enemies can kill you in a second. I hope there will be other alternate history games but hopefully with less flaws. That's not to say this game is not worth getting but the problems need to be fixed.
