$20 is asking far too much for this game. Whoever's responsible for pricing this garbage doesn't deserve to keep their job. It's a 3 hour ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and that's including getting lost in level 2 and playing on Hard. It's an xbox 360 game that keeps all its 360-related code and content (achievement icons, controller info, etc.) but wasn't allowed to release on the platform. Visuals straight out of 2001, except the flashlight casts shadows and there's some barely noticeable bump mapping. FOV is alright though. Weapon handling is awful, none of the guns are worth using, ADS helps precisely 0%, staring at the ground and mashing the use key is mandatory to avoid floor traps. Mediocre voice acting. Terrible story with a "twist" ending (hint: you get killed because of some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) and a protagonist more worried about his daddy issues and his girlfriend than using the radio he has in his hands to communicate with the squad he's trying to catch up with. If you have equipment newer than say, 2008, don't expect it to work. If you have a gaming laptop that has that hybrid NVIDIA and Intel GPU switcher or have only an Intel iGPU, it'll work (slowly) on that. Recording for youtube is the only reason to ever touch this garbage, and I'll even say right on steam: Pirate it instead. Not like the development company is around to get paid for making it, they're bankrupt because of this.
The Good: You get to shoot Commies. Uhhh... you can collect ears (Vietnamese) and dog tags (Americans) to gain more total health. Did I mention you can shoot Commies? The Bad: Graphics are at best passable - character and weapons models are subpar, but some of the outdoor areas look nice. AI is stupid - tactics consist of standing in position or charging at you. Buggy weapons - knife hit detection is bad. Throwing hand grenades can result in grenades stuck in midair or your character throwing invisible grenades. The grenade launcher has the same problem. Ironsights are useless. Certain levels had areas that appear to be unfinished - one outdoor level had a snake trap hanging in midair. Traps get repetitive and annoying after a while. You are forced to listen to your character's insipid, psychotic ramblings throughout the game. Conclusion: You may as well throw your 20 dollars into the street.
War is hell not because of its violent nature But because Uwe Boll was behind the game development... Rating: 3.0
Doesn't work on Win7. Edit: And not on Windows 10, either.
It doesn't even work, fml. I don't even know why I bought this.
I don't own Windows XP/Vista in the year 2016.
It ends lousy.
First things first. The game is broken and as far as I know....is currently unplayable. The developer went bankrupt after they released this game and nobody is around to do any kind of patchwork on it now. But with that being said....I did play the game when it was first released. The graphics were servicable. Far from good....but not horrible either. There were a handful of weapons that you could alternate between....however the grenades only had a 1 in 100 chance of working properly. The game had a few interesting features....namely the large assortment of traps that you had to either difuse or sidestep....and the fact that you could actually collect dogtags and severed ears. I heard that by collecting them it increased your health bar....but I never saw any significant improvement in that area. At $20 the game is ridiculously overpriced and even back in the day when it ran without a hitch....the gameplay only provided a few hours of play worth no more than $5.
Bought this out of morbid curiosity and probably for the best it is completely broken. Literally just a runtime error crash on the first loading screen every time. Nobody was going to buy this but don't anyway lol
[u]Simplified[/u]: [i]Uwe Boll quality[/i] [h1]Tunnel Rats: 1968[/h1] [hr][/hr] The game is a classic fps first-person shooter. [b]Story[/b] is not directly embedded on the film, but is mentioned here, [spoiler]the plot is about one survivor who is in the NVA prison, which wakes up in the middle of the slaughterhouse. Who caused it? You will never find the truth.[/spoiler] The [b]acting[/b] is average, but it doesn't change the fact that you will have a [u]brainwashed.[/u] A game suitable for [spoiler]schizophrenics[/spoiler]. [b]Enemy intelligence[/b] is absolutely stupid, enemies are spawning right in front of you. And when they see you how you hide behind an obstacle, they are literally [i]helpless.[/i] The [b]graphics[/b] aren't important i think, but for year 2009 won't impress, [u]but![/u] the main problem is that something is [i]wrong[/i] with the game. [u]Absolutely all vegetation is missing[/u] If the license for the part of the used software [b]SpeedTree technology : Interactive Data Visualization, Inc.[/b] expired at the time of release or has it been removed due to HW difficult? I don't know. Anyway, it's nice to see the difference between [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=139050531] final game[/url] and the [url=https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/31300/ss_505ccc94cbf59941b5b93e225bf400bff687f7fe.1920x1080.jpg?t=1447351855] pre-release[/url]. [b]Compatibility:[/b] Don't expect to run the game on Win8/10. I only succes on old Windows 7, but I was unhappy about it because is it challenging for my PC about how empty the game looks. [u]Put your hands away. In this waiting for you tunnels maze, later quite annoying traps, stupid enemies, bugs. This product is not even worth a lousy 2 euro. And to want 19 euros for this? Oouuu... to hell![/u]
