Future42 review. eXtinction

Ok, ok, so I was checking www.game.giveawayoftheday.com and they usually have dumb games like Pac Man clones or Arkanoid clones. The site gives a different game away almost everyday. But today, the game caught my attention. The picture they showed was quite cool too. Its a 2.5d shooter. The graphics aren't very good, but I think this is an old game, so I wont blame it on that. Theres some nice blood affects too.

Now on to the gameplay! It feels sorta like a 2.5d version of doom. You go around the environment getting keys, weapons, health, power, and special abilities. You use power to use your jet pack, it recharges over time but its very slowly so its better just to find one of the power items. Enemies respawn, which I don't like, because they sometimes respawn right next to you and it feels out of place. The controls are pretty smooth. When you get more keys it feels like theres tons more enemies coming at you, thats my main complaint with this game, it feels like theres tons of enemies, but they all look they same and its pretty easy to pwn them all. The levels are too big, I was too bored I couldn't finish the first level, It was confusing to go through. The map didn't help much.

I give this game a 6/10. Its ok for the great price of free, but you could find much better free games. But if you do want this game, you can get it for free today on http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/

Tell me what you think of my review and tell me games you would like me to review, preferably a free game.

Cheers,
Future42
