Mission Combat Force (PC)

Halo: Combat Devolved

Advantages: Straight console port. Interesting story.
Disadvantages: Bland graphics. Bland single-player campaign.

Gameplay Straight away the game smells like a console port. There has been little to no effort made to hide the fact at all. And seeing as though Halo was, at first, a PC only title it’s hard to remove the knife in the back at this point. I’m not going to lie to you, a lot about this game is wrong. There are so many niggles you just want to dive in head first. So I will. Jumping: Wrong. You jump up into the air and then you seem to float down in twice the amount of time it took you to get up. Pistol: Wrong. How come you can zoom in with the handgun but not the assault rifle? There’s no scope on the sidearm so it must be done using the helmet, surely. Assault rifle: Wrong. Aside from the lack of zoom from the magical helmet, the gun is woefully inaccurate. Things are supposed to improve as time goes on ...

Halo Combat Evolved

Advantages: Good online play and lan play
Disadvantages: a little short

universe. The crew encounter a huge disc (which happens to be called halo) and crash land on it finding that it has an atmosphere much like earths. The crew soon discover that the halo is actually a large weapon and send the master chief on a mission to try and stop the covenant activating the weapon. Graphics This was groundbraking graphics when halo first come out now since that has been a few years naturally graphics have progressed into the realm that is HD. This game however does not dissapoint and can make stunning views and very large and gory battles Sound The music to this game is composed by Michael Salvatori and Martin O'Donnell, it really expresses the mood and tones of the scenes in the game. The sounds of the weapons are also produced very well. The game has different difficulty settings so the easiest setting can ...

Fighting Force for PC

Advantages: 3d graphics, challenge
Disadvantages: Limited moves, sound and music

By Eidos Interactive and Core Design, this is a pretty average beat em up game. Borrowing on games like "Double Dragon" and "Streets of Rage", Fighting Force, has you as a brawler penetrating a mob boss whose controlling the city. (yes Streets of Rage reference but also Double Dragon)., You got your choice of four brawlers : Hawk, Slammer, Mace and Alana (two men and two women) Graphics (Average) The graphics were average at best, this was a 3d hybrid of beat em up games. The graphics were very average to somewhat good. You got a variety of locations to fight in: A park, a high-rise building, subway, even an Air Force and Navy base and it all looks good. There is not too many special effects in terms of texture and shading, but that wasn’t the purpose of the game. On the bad side, almost all the bad characters look ...
