Darkest of days

Is there room for another fps with a twist?

Check out this review:-

When a game has 'chasers - superballs of future death' (which don't actually kill people) and an achievement to 'punch out a horse' it has to be worth a rent

I like the idea of fps using a musket for a while and the whole Quantum Leap approach sounds interesting if already done by Assassins Creed. Although the game does sound a bit buggy/glitchy.

Classic ending to the video too


Edit:
Doesn't seem to have a UK release date, or a release outside the U.S. for that matter at the moment which is a shame.
I wonder if its territory locked? If not would a US release work on a UK machine?

Game may not be great but its got some classic achievements such as the 'horse puncher' above.

• Horse Puncher 100 Punch a horse in the face, killing it.
• Ghandi Award 100 Complete a combat level without using any lethal attacks.
• Tethered Swimming 25 Die of suffocation underwater.
• Bomb Technician 25 Kill yourself with an explosive device.

There's another video review of this game available, i've edited and added it to the first post, the general consensus amongst game players is the game appears to be pretty good, although the really big reviewers ign etc seem to knock it a bit both the above video reviews seem pretty fair to be honest.

And it's different....

looks interesting to say the least, good see some developers have tried to make something completely different from the ww2/space/future shooters


must say the huge stand off thing at the beginning might become a tad tiresome though waiting fourteen years to reload just to take out one other person

Geez have some devs not heard of testing.

But apart from that it looks erm different :P.

I'd probably give it a go but if its ntsc only then its pretty pointless us even talking about it

Apparently this game is being released in europe, but there are conflicting reports and release dates one of which has been missed already, which is nothing compared to the review scores where some people are saying it's crap and others giving it great reviews, i've never seen a game get such fluctuating review scores "1.0 - 9.0" from gamers, looks like you'll either love it or really hate it.
