Review_ Hydrophobia
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
Hydrophobia, a downloadable Xbox 360 survival adventure title, claims to have some of the most realistic water physics video games have ever seen. But does the title wade into the deep end or is it just shallow? Hydrophobia (which does not mean “fear of water” — aquaphobia does) is the first of several planned digital installments. The game follows Kate Wilson as she makes her way through city-sized ship called the Queen of the World that has been overrun by terrorists. Players must swim and shoot their way through the vessel to save their comrades.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Ideal Players Not chuffed if you can’t see where you’re going? Don’t ever feel claustrophobic? Love spending long hours in the pool or the bath? This game is for you. Why You Should Care The game’s water physics are quite impressive. Water is something that video games rarely do right, and Hydrophobia does a fine job of creating virtual water that has weight and viscosity. Not bad for a developer that previously made snooker games! So how’s the game itself? There are moments when ทางเข้า w88 ใหม่ ล่าสุด Hydrophobia works brilliantly. Everything falls into place, and you say to yourself, “Wow.” Sadly, those moments are few and far between as the majority of the game seems keen to do everything it can to make the experience unnecessarily rough. Like what? Well, like the fact that the game’s map is complicated and confusing. Knowing which way to go can be vexing bk8สล็อตฟรี — sometimes there are hints (like pipes light up) and sometimes not. Not much is done to aid players in exploring underwater — it’s dark and hard to know how much air you have left. The messy map, however, is most perplexing because Hydrophobia puts forth the idea that it is possible to build a vessel that encompasses an entire city, but it can’t do a simple map right? Bwah? Are you done complaining? No. The controls felt buggy at times and were not precise as they should be — a huge drag when you are underwater and trying not to die. And then you do. And the save points are not as frequent as they should be, meaning time-eating replays. Oh, and the dialogue and voice acting aren’t very good. Was there anything you liked? Yes. The water effects are excellent. I liked some of the equipment in the game, like the “Mavi” handheld. Combat was okay, but often, I found myself unable to get into cover — even when I had an onscreen prompt. The interactive environment reminded me of things I’ve seen in other games (exploding barrels, etc.), but Hydrophobia does attempt to make that sort of combat deeper. Later in the game, players can acquire a greater variety of weapons, which really helps liven things up. I just couldn’t help but think it was too little, too late. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZceJsTwdcg Buy It If you want to check out a new spin on third-person adventure games or enjoy futuristic adventure games.
