All supplies of fossilfuels were completely decimated by 2031.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speed of quake 3 with the tact of counterstrike, June 18, 2002

By 

bob (Vienna, Virgina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gore (CD-ROM)

Gore is fast. Much faster than games like counterstrike and global ops, and even outpacing quake 3. With the speed, however, there is a dose of tact that makes this one's gameplay better than most of the standard FPS's out there. It has player classes, much like the more lifelike games out there, but it also packs the weapons and such (rocket launchers, miniguns, etc.) that make it more like quake 3 and such. I played the full version and quickly became addicted, especially to the tactical mode, which is much like counterstrike in that you only have one life. The balance of the player classes make it so any class can win, even a woman versus a 1000 pound robot. One guy has c4 charges, so he can camp around home base and detonate when somebody comes prancing along with his rocket launcher.

Other people may put down the graphics for this game compared to other games coming out, but the system requirements are very low.. people play this game and get 30 frames per second with 350 mhz. machines and a 2 year old graphics card. The graphics aren't even bad. I thought they were better on my 333 mhz. machine with a gforce 2 than what Unreal Tournament could pump out.

Although you may have not heard of this title before, in my opinion, it is a far superior game to Unreal Tournament and Quake 3, and even counterstrike fans could go for it. So buy a copy, and while you're at it, get one for your freind =].

5.0 out of 5 stars A great multiplayer game: addictive and funny, June 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gore (CD-ROM)

Gore offers the speed of quake with elements of various other more tactical games, where there are player classes and a stamina system. The combination of strategy and speed made this one really addictive to me, and I was surprised how a small company based in Nebraska (4drulers) could make a game that, in my opinion, tops games like unreal tournament in quake for gameplay, community, and addiction.

The graphics, in my opinion, are not the BEST they could be, but my ever since I started playing it I've thought the graphics were better than Unreal Tournament, and the textures are far superior. I run gore on a 333 emachine with a $30 geforce2, and I get 35-45 frames per second usually. And if you would have any trouble getting the game to work properly, then I am sure the you will be able to receive help from the makers of the game themselves (in fact, you can even see them in the game sometimes).

Gore is meant for multiplayer. The netcode is already rock solid, and the design of the multiplayer missions/modes is excellent. [....]

1.0 out of 5 stars frustrating and invasive, November 18, 2004

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Gore (CD-ROM)

I was looking for a single player first person shooter. What I got was signed up to a lot of online spyware. I did not expect the game to require an online connection to play, and I resented being subjected to a gaming paysite as I loaded the game. Otherwise, the game might have been fun... except that I could not figure out how to save anything.. having to start out from the beginning every time got old fast. I was persuaded to buy the game by all the other glowing reviews; thus my advice... don't waste your time or money!
