Hummer vs Helicopter
I have played the game together with my younger brother (who also plays Crysis and Heroes of Might and Magic) .
Be prepared because we like to tell people why some games suck. Well, actually I like to tell people why a lot of games suck.
I have to say that we can’t call this game finished. Mainly because of balancing issues.
Gameplay
Overall it is OK. I wonder if the others played with two players because that is when you will notice some balancing issues. The helicopter is in fact doomed to loose in most cases. It is hard to aim with it because it is hard to rotate the helicopter and it is hard to see where the missiles will hit and I can barely see where my bullets will hit because the helicopter is flying in front of the bullets most of the time.
The helicopter uses up a lot of fuel, a bit too much fuel in my opinion.
The hummer can last a lot longer and can avoid enemy rockets easily since they will barely hit the target. When they do hit the hummer it suddenly twirls in the air like if it doesn’t weight even a bit. It made us laugh but it is a weight problem that is to be taken serious. The hummer also flips really fast giving the helicopter more chance to damage it. However I missed the hummer most of the time because I couldn’t exactly de term where the missiles/bullets would hit.
The hummer’s gun’s bullets are not actually coming out of the gun but are created above the gun which confuses the player and takes some time to get used to.
Graphics
Could have been better. They look fair from the helicopter’s viewpoint but the hummer sees ugly over-sized textures. A higher texture resolution can really make this game look better.
The lighting is not as good as I hoped. It looks ugly on the player models and it looks like the terrain isn’t affected by it at all.
Sound
I shouldn’t review this because I would be a real bastard if I did.
Copyright
Did he release it under GPL on purpose?
That was my review. Thanks for reading it. I hope AD-Edge will work on the issues I described in my review.
Gameplay: 7.8 out of 10
Graphics: 5.7 out of 10
Sound: 4.6 out of 10
Final rating: 6.0

PS: For the people that read my review, AD-Edge is aware of the fact I was writing a review that pointed out a lot of the issues. Have fun playing the game.
