The Grand Theft Auto with robots? This seems to be the most suitable for the first impression one SCRAPLAND description, the latest action game designer American McGee and publisher Enlight software. With a seemingly unlimited play structure, a mystery of noirish murder, a silly sense of humor, and a great city to explore, SCRAPLAND seems to have all the makings of a futuristic adventure of epic proportions. Unfortunately, the initial mood of the game that relies not just dripping along his experience. Too repetitive gameplay and mission designs hit a large part of the wind from the sails of SCRAPLAND As the game progresses, the story could be set in a more pleasant way. SCRAPLAND still pretty good overall, but there is definitely a level of potential here that just do not I ever noticed enough to get.In SCRAPLAND, playing as D-Tritus, a robot mantra born who, among many space travel is the world of fantasy. Chimera has been named "SCRAPLAND" from its neighbors. This is partly because it consists of many garbage and partly because it is populated only by robots. Upon arrival, our hero is immediately disinfected for fear of being contaminated by germs of dreaded people (more on this later). Then assigned a job, like all citizens must have a SCRAPLAND. There are no other jobs available, D-Tritus assigned to is what is considered the lowest of occupations SCRAPLAND: a journalist. D-Tritus only goes to work to be wrapped in a treacherous assassination network almost immediately.Murder is a kind of fun thing in the world SCRAPLAND thanks to something called the Great database. The huge database is basically a large unit for arrays of all SCRAPLAND storage residents. Whenever someone dies, a single payment on the order of bishops, the data base, which provides an extra life running. In essence, the true death is a stranger to those who reside in the concept SCRAPLAND. Of course, this is until someone starts killing key political figures in the hierarchy SCRAPLAND ... and then begins to steal molds vast database, which effectively stops any chance of bringing them back to life. Despite the fact that a being of flesh and blood initially suspected of the killings (a big problem in a world that fears and hates all organic life), the frame is considerably complicated as time passes. And, of course, that as D-Tritus, it is exactly in the middle of.Much of his time is spent trying SCRAPLAND solve these murders through a long series of fetch-quests and missions loosely inspired by the GTA. You can travel on foot or by boat around SCRAPLAND, although not bring much in the way of variety. In fact, there are only a few types of missions, and many of them reuse the same issues again and again. You have to destroy a number of ships (or perhaps even a single ship very difficult); go to the hideout and steal or photograph someone plans for a ship, weapons, their engines, or anything else; or pretend to be another robot to trick someone into giving you information or a necessary element. There are some other
changes, including a number of side missions charged to you by the owner of a local gaming club, but most of them adhere to a similar game conventions and do not deviate game style straight and narrow SCRAPLAND employs.Not even just the game uses the same type of missions often, either; It is that the game really will not be charged with doing almost exactly the same task several times in a row. There are more than a few cases where you need to perform the same mission work in at least two or three successive missions, with only slight variations. A couple of missions includes photographing drawings belonging to sect of mercenaries. In one case, you are shooting a gun, and in another, you are photographing a helicopter race. The configuration of these missions are exactly the same, except for the substitution of the word "weapon" with the word "gunboat" during the dialogue tree. The second time, you have to fight some boats higher than the first, but otherwise is the same again. This happens very often in the game.Fortunately, there are more noticeable in the game SCRAPLAND aspects. When standing, the majority of his work is in discussions with many different robots occupying SCRAPLAND. Robotics population is certainly made up of many colors of the characters, and each and each level is filled with many of them. However, there are only a limited number of types of robots, and all characters in such exact same voice acting and dialogue just the same when coming out of a mission characteristics. But this is unforgivable, simply because the ratings are almost always fun. robot Banker, for example, is slippery, creepy creatures who constantly steal all who come in contact with, while the police are equally hungry for money, although it is much harder and autumn (despite the low stature) and often call you demand money for "protection". What's even better interact with these characters, however, it is to become one of them.Thanks to a gizmo D-Tritus collected from the beginning of the game you really become almost none of the robots will find during its duration. All you have to do is access one of the many large data centers that are scattered around the game world, to get a form, and there's going to steal the robot matrix during the time they need. This comes into play particularly in missions where you have to outwit a robot into thinking you're someone else. However, you can also simply take advantage of the specific capabilities of each type of robot to walk around. When you're a banker, you can steal money from other robots, and when you're a bishop, can emit a beam destructive energy. The trick, of course, is that it is technically illegal, so some of the robot police can catch what you do while doing it. As a result, it is best not to do anything illegal for too long in terms of time.However, this is really the only aspect of the particularly pleasant missions leg game. Most of the rest of the time, it just runs from point A to point B to point C, and so on. So basically run informants or assorted robots for their missions. This would not be much of a work, other than internal environments are almost always very, very large. Although this is great and all, if there was more to look or see at these levels, unfortunately, in reality it is not. They are all very visible and have some nice plans set, but other than that, the only purpose they serve is to accommodate the characters provide their missions, and there's just all too much walking aimlessly involved in this reach.The good news is that you do not need to spend all their time walking, and some time flew also registered vessels. When the game begins, you are given a pileup of a boat that will take you from one place to another, but not much more. However, as you go - and make plans for new ships - you really be able to buy vessels in a range of machinery workshops throughout the city. You can even cheat with new engines, increasing hull plates, and new weapons, if you choose to. Of course, all this costs money - a bit of it, in fact - and if your ship is destroyed, go until you can buy a new or steal one (though not the version tricked-out) of a station parking game . Or, well, at least this is the case, except that, thanks to save money wherever the game uses,
you can always save your progress just before it destroyed. Then, you can reload from that save point, avoiding the hassle of having to buy a new boat.SCRAPLAND flying around is a pretty cool experience. The town is deceptively large, and that includes plenty of fresh, futuristic review as the landscape evolves. Unfortunately, like the foot missions, there really is not much to explore in the city beyond the window, and the novelty of that wears after a while. Of course, this is not completely boring fly around the city, these missions require often involved in fights with other ships. Whether served by the police, mercenaries or crazy bankers, should knock down many boats along the course of the game. Control of the keyboard and mouse to pilot ships is extremely sensitive and intuitive, and there's a good variety of weapons at your disposal, giving you plenty of ways to blow these robots. However, they are not all fun and shoot because you have to worry about the police in capturing that beyond that to avoid being shot down himself, what will happen ... and often.Some of the missions of the ship battle is almost ridiculously difficult, especially because the game has a bad habit of doing these missions have expanded much more than you might prefer. The main reason for this is because of the game's ignition system. In fact, there are a number of power-ups that you can purchase for your boat that are scattered around each area of the city, including a dynamic helmet and various kinds of ammunition replenishments. The trick here is that other boats can also pick up these bonds. So if you're struggling a couple of mercenary ships and nearly two has reached the point of destruction, will swerve suddenly the battle to find a dynamic helmet will meet again in the race. While it is entirely possible to follow them, before reaching a power-up, this is not always an easy choice, especially if you have other ships that attack simultaneously. This can cause a prolonged battles seemingly forever.The main story mode is not the only place where you can participate in a battle ship to ship, because the game also includes a multiplayer mode. You can participate in a number of different ways, including deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag ... That is, assuming you can find online to play against anyone. We spent most of the week trying to find an opponent online, however, never came to a. Still, some time spent flying around empty multiplayer maps that were least able to verify that the operation mode. Therefore, there is, if anything.It is safe to say at this point that the real SCRAPLAND game definitely is more nice quality (although, again,
there is no way at all bad). But what is it? It's the story? Well, yes and no. The plot itself starts quite promising and the characters of the game are all very fun. However, at the same time, the story is not quite fully pull together to provide a satisfactory conclusion. D-Tritus never really focused on, and never really know him very well at all. The whole murder mystery also seems artificially drag out much longer than it should, because of all the missions and bears the double crosses that continue to occur, many of which look just introduced in the interests of greater duration of the game. There are certainly some interesting twists and turns, care, but ultimately it feels like there's a better story that could be told, instead of this.What ultimately saves SCRAPLAND of being just another average action game is simply a level of charm that is not commonly found in games like this. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what makes a fine, but there are many small things that make exactly the game, for lack of a better word, cool. On the one hand, the game has a very specific sense of humor. They never laugh out loud stuff, but there are plenty of hidden gags malicious within the various characters and situations you find yourself in, and sometimes there is a page more obvious gags too. The world SCRAPLAND is so large that it can not help but admire him. While we have already mentioned that the size of the stage is probably not enough to keep you entertained for a long time, it is also never boring. There is only so much traffic - varieties of robots and ship - in the background while you fly over or walk, really gives you a great sense that this is a living, the city breathing (or whatever the equivalent would robotics) .There are also many small details in the graphics just make this a very pleasant for the eye game. robot designs are very cold, even in the smallest ways. D-Tritus, for example, is undoubtedly more humanlike than the rest of the robot population, with bulging eyes and a ponytail clipped carefully positioned cables. All other robots is extremely easy on the eyes, too, and have an excellent reflective shine of their metallic bodies, and many details and great animation. The same could be said of almost everything in the game, too. The different environments are equally rich in detail and are equally pleasing to an aesthetic. Spend some time walking around the big database, or just fly through the busy industrial area of the city, and see what we mean. With all that said, the game is visually is not perfect by any means. drop frame-rate is a common problem when many characters are on the screen at once, and occasionally some glitchy animation. Nevertheless, the game has a great overall look at it, really provides a great help to the charm factor.Of course, the characters would be nothing if the voice acting is not stable, and luckily, definitely. Each type has a distinct character and personality, voice robot short officer speak with British accents nose in vaguely effeminate robot bishop speaking with such superiority that can not stop hating. Apart from some rare read and write some occasional irregular, the voice work is almost always very good, although the character that appears a little odd that they actually own D-Tritus. He speaks with such a pleasant seriousness that is really
a bit uncomfortable when he accepts all these tasks include killing a bunch of robots with full enthusiasm. Moreover, because death is such a trivial thing in this world that do not make a bit of sense. SCRAPLAND soundtrack is another advantage for the sound design of the game, as it has the perfect blend of high-energy techno and ambient music softly formulated to suit every situation. Some of the tracks are a little cheesy, but above all is a quality material that will need to touch your toes as you play.SCRAPLAND is a game that is extremely resistant to dislike, despite the fact that many of the things we're trying to just do not work well. The basic design of the game is lacking in several key areas, and the story is not as satisfactory as expected. However, you should go SCRAPLAND enough to be nice to play through while experiencing the imagination and the innate stupidity of peculiar and unique world. It turns intangible savings SCRAPLAND the scrap, and fortunately there are enough of them to make a recommended game does.
