Terrawars: New York Invasion covers some of the most overused themes in the history of video games. You will live alien invasion, shooting, platform diving, and time travel. Okay, so there is no travel time really in the game, but this game will give you the feeling that you have traveled back in time to play a mediocre mod Half-Life in 1999. The general lack of quality is painfully evident throughout Terrawars, from the visually eye-digging elements in rudimentary, almost primitive design. Compared with current PC shooters, Terrawars exceeded in every possible way, and definitely not worth even an affordable price.In this game you have to play as a sea or even as a soldier. There is a government ninja or a rookie cop. There're an ex-con or research scientist unfortunate. No, instead you are John Armstrong, a medical student who works for the National Guard in New York City. Fortunately for all urban dwellers, medical students in the National Guard takes obviously extensive training in the tactical battle, including proficiency training weapons with machine guns, sniper rifles, and rocket launchers. All of this comes in handy, of course, when suddenly, the city of New York is invaded by a group of aliens that seem ill colorful animated Covenant Halo scams. No history
behind the invasion, but all you need to know is that foreigners are evil and must be destroyed.The game will take you through more than a dozen levels scattered around the wreckage of what the city of New York was once. The levels are very linear, and are gently guided in the right direction by invisible walls and impassable, such as office chairs that restrict their movement to a close and direct manner at each stage obstacles. Usually they have to achieve objectives such as research for injured soldiers scattered throughout the area or to ensure a certain point on the map. However, all you ever do is shoot all aliens who are, and in this way, you will always end up achieving their goals, anyway. The action is the whole scenario, so no matter how many times you play the game you will meet the same strangers in the same place, doing the same thing every time. All are very predictable after a few minutes the game. Enter a region, and only the invisible trigger is squeezed, many foreigners jump and start shooting. As you kill aliens, the more it seems the air right in front of you, and you have to keep killing one after another, until finally stop laying. Then move on to the next area and do it all again.There is more to the game than just shooting, though. Sometimes, you have to participate in some of platform jumping. first person shooters and platform games go together like hair and gummy
bears, but it is especially bad here, because the collision detection means you get stuck on the edge of the shelves or miss jumps due to invisible barriers. There are places where you have to jump over the narrow pipes and boards or crawling in the airways, and I greet each one of these segments with a groan of frustration as you try to maneuver the clumsy John Armstrong on top of old boards and rickety other data seem to support the weight of a cat house, much less a medical student. Even more annoying is that you should pay attention to a resistance meter, and if exhausted, you can not do anything but walk slowly until resistance recharged.The only thing that makes this game so it stays busy throwing tons of enemies. This does not matter much, though, because the gunplay in Terrawars is neither funny nor thrilling. Guns are very general. You can start with a semi-automatic pistol and a combat knife, and quickly find new weapons including an assault rifle, a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher. all these hands feel weak, however, and there is never a reason to use the basic rifle, which has a rapid rate of fire, causing as much damage as any other weapon, and is accurate enough to snipers nothing. All weapons can be upgraded by collecting vials of biological material that can be redeemed for increased damage, accuracy and size of the clip at any time. This is an idea very well, if it makes sense, but the improvements were seen in their arms is minimal. If the weapons are not your thing, you can also throw grenades against their enemies, which comes in handy for sending foreign groups, but explosions are not very satisfactory. Instead of seeing the crumpled bodies will bear the aliens will throw your hands up and disappear in a cloud of green mist. The frame is completely inconsistent blow as well. Sometimes you can instantly kill enemies with headshots in a good position, but other times you can shoot enemies in the head and will not so much as quiver.The gunplay is also aging
rapidly, and constantly fighting their own enemies throughout the game. There are about four different types of aliens, who look exactly the same but with a different skin color. There are only two boss battles in the game, and it is so short and lame that do nothing to break the monotony. Foreigners generally placed in fixed firing positions simultaneously, but sometimes contraction and variation of your way after you, or just float through solid objects in the environment. Foreign apparently can even shoot through walls and generally a disembodied arm's shooting at you through a closed door. They should not aim their weapons, either, because even if a stranger is not against you, your weapons somehow manage to shoot right at you. On the default difficulty level, these problems can make the game very difficult because it takes only a couple of hits to die. There is a quicksave function, however, so if you feel masochistic, you can simply reload the store and try it all again.If for some reason you want to share this experience with a friend, you can play cooperatively Terrawars. You can play on a local network and supposedly online as well, even if he could not find a single server, so it seems, will have to create your own if you really want to play this game online . Considering how bad the road for a player who plays again with another player, probably will do nothing to enhance the experience. There are a multitude of online multiplayer shooters available for PC, so there's no reason to go to the trouble to play.One of the bullet points on the back of the box member in bold Terrawars that "works
well in a variety of PC configurations." This basically means that the game is so outdated that will run on an old hand-me-down laptop. In honor of the game, in fact, runs well, but it looks very ugly. The levels are empty and smeared with the same pair of fuzzy textures and geometry levels are erratic and abnormal. You will see blinking and texture ugly seams across the country, and everything is ready for the scene of colorful mist that prevents any data that may have been present in the source. The sound is nothing better, either, no music to speak, a handful of metal sound effects, and a couple of repetitive grunts of foreigners. The voices are one of the worst you'll find on every game. The characters apparently expressed by factors whose native language is not English, and fake American accent sounds terrible. It does not help that the dialogue includes such select lines such as, "I'm glad you two made it back to the proverbial last time!"
