Wanz1 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Anyone have any thoughts of this upcoming title? At this time I won't be going after this game unless someone can convince me this will be a good game; too close to Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3.

cutterk73 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 i just ordered it off ebay this morning..in another thread someone said they played it and it was a fun decent game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rep Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I thought it was fun mainly since I haven't played one of these type of games since Time Crisis when they used to have them at arcades. Voice acting in this game is some of the worst that I've heard, but hey, it's only $20 so I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. Gameplay is alright, but the entire campaign including Veteran mode can be completed in under 3 hours. Full 1000:gsicon: can be obtained in under 4 hours.

mattybell2117 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I found this to be more difficult than Heavy Fire Afghanistan but if you play it co op then you'll never die, makes it way easier for sure. The radios seem to be screwed for me though. I'm playing on ps3 and I did my first playthrough on my one ps3 and got all but 1 radio. Moved my save over and started my second playthrough and got 5/8 radios, bringing my total up to 12/16, and I still haven't received any trophies/achievements related to the radios. I had to move my save over so that I could play with my move because I didn't want to play vet mode with a controller and my setup for my first ps3 doesn't permit using the move. Gonna go back through the game on easy and get some headshots anyway but I'm a bit disappointed that these trophies may be glitched for me. The game was released early here in Canada (about 3 weeks-month ago) but I've just been so busy I haven't been able to get around to it yet. I don't think this is supposed to be released outside of NA just so everyone knows. Not 100% sure but from what I've gathered this is a NA exclusive and most Canadian EB Games/Gamestops broke the street date for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOPE BOI Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 CO OP???? are you sure. never seen any co op options in this game. Yeah you have to press start and then controllers and assign more, you can have upbto 4. Games dumb easy to me 3hr 11min to 1k. Also best gun to use is the shotgun, I averaged a accuracy of 184% because you will kill 3 in 1 shot most of the time. So you will never run out of ammo as with all the clips it holds 300, I never got below 80 before the level ended and it automatic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanz1 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 GameStop finally had it available for online ordering only. I'll be getting it on Tuesday, the 12th. I'll have to squeeze it in between Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorpion XBA Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'll just bypass the arguments here and state that I'll probably get this game from GameFly. Yeah, it's only $20, but if it only takes a few hours to 1k it then I don't want to blow that when I could be getting something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanz1 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 The game got much better once I figured out how to invert the Y axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMPLYMIDGET Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Can't find it in the US either. Only eBay and/or Amazon. I found this at Gamestop yesterday for $16.99 used. Not bad, I'm enjoying it, for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali_P_84 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm finding the controls a bit fiddly and the crosshair to be too slow moving. It's an enjoyable game to an extent but a bit frustrating as well. Definitely better suited to a mouse as a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinnbob Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I wouldn't really call it fun tbh. Achievements were easy, gameplay just felt like a Wii game, probably be better suited for a kinect arcade game really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiral 462 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I just finished up this game to 100% without using the second controller method, and aside from a few spots where I had to keep reloading until I learned a good tactic of where to focus my firing first, it wasn't bad at all. I found that areas where I had kept dying repeatedly on Rookie and had to reload several times, I got on my first attempt on Veteran because honestly, once you get a good idea of the area, it makes it easy. And also by the time you get through it on Veteran, you often times will remember where health is at too so they're easy to see and shoot to refill your health bar when you need it. This is my first ever on-rails Shooter, and I must say I like it a lot! I've never played a game on rails before, but it was pretty fun. The worst part of the game for me was the voice acting of the main character. I just keep laughing and shaking my head at some of his commentary lol. I won't hesitate to pick up another on-rails Shooter in the future though, I'm glad I tried this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Tobbs Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I actually don't mind on rail shooters but Teylon has taken the cake with the Heavy Fire duo. Shattered Spear wasn't as bad as Afghanistan but it is still piss easy and can be completed in an afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroller1979 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Is there any way to change the control layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberPunch83 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 It's a generic rail shooter with little in the way of redeeming features. The controls are awful and cannot be changed or modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
