ArmA! Anticipating and Action Packed!
Date of Review: Aug 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you love realistic war simulators then you will love this, if you are a hardcore CS fan be warned!
I really must say this game is really what i have been waiting for, after owning Operation Flashpoint and finding out about Armed Assault, i was in for more!. So i went to buy myself a copy of Armed Assault online.
As soon as i had recieved the game after my awaiting anticipation, i could'nt be way more excited to get into the game. I started off with the campaign in the game, and i must say it was pretty well done especially the way you had different choices and each affected the missions either positively or negatively, including the outcome of the mission. The voice acts were overally okay but nothing special. The gameplay in the game well its just WOW!. Seriously this is what ArmA does well in, the gameplay was just amazing and i could'nt withdraw my breath from this game!. The gameplay here makes the game feel as if your in the soldier's boots yourself, you really feel as if your in the battle yourself, the sound effects,explosions,animations and the smart AI display this!. Honestly i must say this game is very addictive!, and it gets better! The multiplayer in the game makes the game even more addictive and it pits you against real players around the world, or even the AI in coop, making the experience in the game fantastic. The mission editor was well done in the game, it is done even for the most unskilled people, design from large offense/defense battles to even the smallest covert operations. While i must say the Graphics are nothing like Call of Duty 4 but it still won't reframe you from playing the game, the distance view can be set to 10000m , the scenery in the game is just beautiful, it reminds me of oblivion. Anyhow this game incorparates real life tactics,weaponary and armoury. Fly a jet, drive a tank or even command a squad, the game focus's on creating a realistic war simulator so be warned! If you loved Counter Strike you might either love this game or hate it!
Seriously i must say i have been playing this game for over half a year and it just keeps getting better! Adding mods to the game makes even the game even more better and you can always come up with something new!
