Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Chaser awakens onboard the spaceship H.M.S. Majestic. He doesn't know who he is, what he's doing here, why he is being sought by men in red uniforms and what they will do to him when they find him. The player's goal is to find out who Chaser really is and why he is being hunted. The story leads the player from the H.M.S. Majestic to Montack City on Earth, then on to Siberia and finally to Mars where the trail ends and hopefully the truth can be found.

Features:

• Based on Cauldron's cloakNT engine--Boasts state of the art graphical features
• Authentic weapons--Nearly all the weapons in the game are modeled on real-life equivalents. The developers placed a great deal of emphasis on building detailed replicas
• Engaging storyline--In the search for his identity, Chaser becomes involved in a plot full of twists and turns
• Highly developed A.I.
• Multiplayer support via GameSpy as well as dedicated servers
• Numerous multiplayer modes including teamplay, modes in the style of Counter-Strike as well as deathmatch

Product Description
Chaser puts you in the most dangerous position possible -- you don't know where you are, you don't know who you are, all you know is that people want you dead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, September 20, 2003

By	J. M Quiggins "Sole_Fish" (Owensboro, Ky. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was skeptical. I've played some real stinkers in my time. I am so very glad i was wrong. After 10 hours of playing, and occasionally sweating, i can admit that i am hooked. I am floored by the overall beauty of the game. Very few bugs (one where you can walk through a fence), but none of those little things have gotten in the way of the incredible voice-over acting, crisp graphics, creative writing, suspensful music, and remarkable continuity. So much happens in this game in such a short period of time. Wonderful game with that 'brand new' and 'creative' feeling that i was beginning to think was lost in the FPS world. Thank god for encore. They made a shooter with tremoendous replay value. I can't say enough. How about this, it's 2:30 am and i have to get up at 8:00 am to go to work. Man this thing is fun. Don;t deny yourself this program!

1.0 out of 5 stars ************ Major Issue ************, March 26, 2007

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

You might want to let customers know that the PC shooter Chaser has a Major issue.

The game will not load and the user gets the error message "Math64.dll". In trying to get to the bottom of this on the net, I've found the following information: Supposedly, the problem is that the installer is incompatible with both Service Pack 2 for windows XP (Home AND Pro) as well as some AMD systems.

Further, that the developers are aware of the issue but do not plan to fix it. There does not seem to be any workarounds past this error other than uninstalling SP2, installing the game and then re-installing SP2. I do not know what the AMD issues are.

I have not yet tried this workaround, so I cannot comment further on that. However, it would seem prudent that anyone planning to buy Chaser should take all this into consideration before purchasing it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, fun shooter.., October 8, 2003

By	H. A Huffman "haumf" (Mt. Prospect, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Usually, I wind up playing these games first with the cheat codes, sort of walking my way through the whole game to see if there are any really good parts (I have a lot of games on my play list and it is the best way to get to all of them. I could'nt find any working codes for Chaser, but I really don't mind since the game does "play fair".

No super-boss levels, no endless armies of bad guys and you get to handle some serious firepower. The save system lets you stop the game and save any time (a KEY feature for shooters) and the story is very interesting.

I have not finished the game yet but I am glad that I did not rush through it.
