Sméagol Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I just did a somewhat eleborate (well, at least more elaborate than intended, but I also have different standards ) opening post on another forum, plus I posted some stuff on their official forums as well, so I'm gonna make this short (really). [blacklight: Tango Down (official site)] IGN video review: In short: Multiplayer downloadable FPS game in a cool (not too) futuristic setting, with familar gameplay. Anyone who needs a diversion from CoD 6 (and/or thinks the mappacks are overpriced) feels right at home. Its distinct feature is the HRV, think of Samus' visor in the prime series. One push on the button will locate all your enemies (and allies and objectives) for you, but you're defenseless while doing it, and it needs to recharge. Instead of a great selection of weapons, you have your baseweapons, and with each level you unlock some weaponmods, resulting in many customisations, altering your stats and appearance. € 15,- will get you 12 maps in all the usual multiplayer modes, and also 4 very basic co-op maps. Some flaws: - You can't join an already running game, which leads to long waiting times for joining lobbies. Hopefully they'll fix this (but that's left to be seen). - A lot (most?) maps ultimately lead to (spawn)camping in teamgames, due to their design (one spawn at your base). Your base is defended, but it's possible your team (or the enemy team) gets trapped in their base. Camping feels a lot different than in other games though, it must be said, thanks to the HRV (everyone can see everyone). Thanks to this, the trapped team is not automaticcaly lost. - Requires Games for Windows Live. <sigh>
