Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Descend into a literal underworld, where underground cities are occupied by criminals, cultists, and the wretched and deranged. The very lowest of these areas is visited only by structural engineering teams when foundations require strengthening in order to accommodate further elevations. The player controls a team of four members from the Urban Protection Agency (UPA), an elite force that deals with serious disturbances in the city. The team is initially called in to investigate problems at the Real Meat factory, in which all the equipment has started to simultaneously malfunction. Technicians sent to repair the machinery have gone missing without explanation. Here begins the UPA's sinister trail of inquiry.

Project Eden has 11 atmospheric, mission-based levels that test your exploration, puzzle-solving, and survival skills. You will descend into highly detailed environments of vast caverns, snakelike passageways, bottomless pits, and alluring dead ends. You can choose up to four characters in squad-based play, switch from first- to third-person view, and control any character at any time. You will also control remotely operated equipment, such as a minirover to reach inaccessible areas, hover cameras for scouting treacherous paths ahead, and gun emplacements to aid you in intense gunfire situations. Play in single-player cooperative mode or with up to four players in split-screen mode.

You can replenish power-cell equipment by tapping into still-live energy sources--such as power points, batteries, and old generators--below the city depths. All-new engines offer the latest advances in mapping technologies, character skinning, animation, character morphing, and other dedicated effects. Gameplay is structured via a commanding script that leads the player through a world distorted by its own evolution, where the inhabitants behave with an unnatural and often sinister vigilance. Project Eden is designed by the team that created the original Tomb Raider.

4.0 out of 5 stars give it a chance, July 2, 2002

By	Daniel Wharton "aut0maticdan" (NY, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first tried the game, I was a little let down, because it almost seemed like there was no where to go...

Later on, I picked it back up and had my girlfriend join in. We spent about 3-6 hours on each mission, and finally made it through the other day.

I think it was one of the best multiplayer games I have ever played, and for the first time was a game that TRUELY challanged me. I have never spent so much time figuring out very small parts of a game before. Some parts seem like they are impossible, and sometimes it seems like you have tried everything, but trust me, you haven't.

So now that it is finished, my girlfriend and I are trying to find another multiplayer game we can get into like this one. Any suggestions? Anyone know about a sequel?

Anyway, I am not going to go into detail about the game itself, because you can figure that out... Just know it is a real challenge with great levels and puzzles.

Strongest points:

* Great gameplay... This game is a real challange, and the missions are very fun to go through. Once you get into the groove of the game, you can't stop

* Different character abilities... Working with a team of people instead of a single character is great. Each character has a different skill, and can be used for different situations.

* Multiplayer mode... Best multiplayer game I've played. Some parts would probably be a lot harder without two players. It was fun to go through the whole game with a partner.

* Cool toys... The game has really neat toys to play with, like the rover (a little rc car) for going into tight spaces, and a flying cam to go into even tighter places, and a centry gun which is awesome.

Reasons it didn't get 5 stars:

* [disappointing] story line... I felt no real connection to the stories or the characters... it was all about gameplay in this one. [disapppointing] movies between missions, and the ending was one of the worst ever

* little on the glitchy side... there were a few too many glitches in this game. In a few spots it actually froze up on me, so I recommend saving often. There are other spots where the characters get "trapped"

* too hard... there are some parts of the game that are so hard to figure out, it is rediculous. We spent 3 hours on one part only to figure out we somehow did half of the level backwards, and needed to go back to get to the end. Some buttons or switches are so hard to see or notice that you will be looking around for a week before you notice them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, December 3, 2001

By	Roxanne (Lowell, OR) - See all my reviews

I noticed that this game doesn't have much for reviews, but I rented Project Eden for five days and I must say that this was one of the most fun games I've played. Many games these days don't have enough challenge to them and not enough thinking, but Project Eden is a great game for those gamers that love to think and get past those difficult parts. The neat thing about Project Eden is that it allows you to use four different guys. And you can't get past most of the puzzles without using at least 2 or three of your guys. I say this is a excellent game and if you're looking for a game that will get your wheels turning, buy this one, it will keep you playing for a while!

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Concept, poor execution, September 1, 2004

By	Richard Veysey (Lamoine, ME) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

When I first started this game, I found it to be quite enjoyable, although there was one thing I found to be somewhat irritating. First off, since some problems can only be overcome by certain characters, they are practically immortal, respawning at set up points throughout the level. This removed all the challenge from the shooter aspect of the game, since you can't lose. Still, however, I found this game to be enjoyable.

Then I got to the third level. I understand (from the other reviews) that there is a "game save bug", which many people encountered at some point in the game. I found it at the end of level three. I would get to a certain point and, at about exactly the same place, it would freeze. I tried it six times, and even after cleaning the disc, it still froze at that spot. I've looked at the reviews to see what they had to say about it, which was restart. I have two words for that suggestion: heck no! As far as I know, it could freeze again on me in the tenth level, and I'm sick of the freezing already.

If you can put up with the grevious error which Edios left in their game, then have fun. Otherwise, leave this game for someone else to buy.
