It was a long time when I posted "game review" at Falconfly forum, but I'm back again.
I played this fantastic game these days again (I finished it first time 3 years ago), and I couldn't wait to share the impressions with all you 3dfx fans.
SYSTEM SHOCK [1CD]
Even after 4+ years this game looks beautiful. It is (VERY) playable at Voodoo3 at maximum resolution ( 1024x768 )! Textures are juicy and very correct even theese days.. Panels, computers, hacking stuff - just beautiful. Of course forget HL, or Doom3 - there cannot be compared with this game in graphic quality. BUT!!... As I played it in past few weeks, I can tell you something. This game blows away all these 2004 blockbaster games in one aspect. FEAR.
Oh my god, you gonna "sh.t your pants". This game is the biggist "virtual horror creator" ever. Forget all those doom freaks, and imagine that every 5 meters you are progresing in game - you fear more. I saved status at "every 30 seconds". (Just try to play it at hard level)
Of course the game engine was a bit old even then (1999. when game released), and enemy model are bit low-low-poly. It using improved Thief engine so its full of sneeking all the time! But if I have to give the 6 of 10 to graphics.. I'm sure gonna give it "14 of 10" for "unique filling", coz this game deserve it!!! (And jus hear background music and sound FX... Man...)
Please try this game (if you allready didn't), and prepare for the SHOCK! (Your Voodoo'z deserve it)
