Two years ago Ubisoft intoduced a game developed by Massive Entertainment, which will amaze the whole world. It was World In Conflict, a strategy title for real-time playable options, graphics and content was erected as the best of the year.

Now, Massive Entertainment has developed a new title of the series called World In Conflict: Soviet Assault PC, while not reaching the highest level of its predecessor, it is noteworthy.

World In Conflict: Soviet Assault PC transfers us to the era of the Cold War. In full conflict between Americans and Soviets, the U.S. and Europe see as the Soviet Union launches an attack against them, which in reality did not happen but what everyone was afraid. In the first title, we comandábamos to the side of NATO. Now we have the possibility to play on the Soviet side and try to launch the attack most feared of all time against the Western powers.

Soviet Assault is actually an expansion of the original that adds new missions. These new missions will be closely related to the first World in Conflict, while we will have to go beyond those of the original deal for the expansion, which will be interspersed.

World In Conflict was composed of 14 episodes, which will now be 20. New chapters, as we have said, will be interspersed, occupying the places 1, 4, 7, 11, 14 and 18. In this way, we have to overcome the remaining of the original. This is one of the worst aspects of the game, but the truth is that World In Conflict is so great, that most of you do not mind a return to face the tasks of the original.

A cinematic scenes that accompanied the game, great design and all of us that weaves the story missions, it added 10 new scenes, which we still hold the same high level as its predecessors.

As for the gameplay, it follows the same pattern as the first World In Conflict. Commanded the Soviet troops now (unlike in the previous), we find the same game, same types of units and the same story (with additions). Developments will therefore be 6 missions that we have said, and two new maps available for multiplayer mode.

Technical Section

The technical aspect of World in Conflict when it was spectacular. Given that this is the same in this expansion, it is obvious that the graphics are spectacular. However, today has advanced by leaps and bounds at the technical level in the game. Despite this, the level of World in Conflict was so cool when he left, which remains a marvel.

The scenarios are very extensive and a wide variety of items. Moreover, all these elements have a very realistic physical system. Thus, the explosions will affect the objects in the scene as if it actually happened, making even the trees may be affected by the shock waves.

Modeling units, tanks and other vehicles is also sensational, and the play of light and shadows and special effects. Everything together makes up a graphic artwork that, while it is true that before the technological advances of today is not the best on the market, remains the best that we can see in the shops.

Deserves special mention artificial intelligence, which has worked hard, improving the original World in Conflict.

Conclusions

World In Conflict: Soviet Assault PC is great, no doubt, but left open the door to indecision between buying or not if we have already surpassed the first.

The truth is that in all respects remains a juegazo. Gameplay, technical .. In these aspects it is a wonder. The small problem is that there are developments that are not too numerous. As we have said, have simply added six chapters and two multiplayer maps.

Obviously, if you have never played World In Conflict and I like the strategy, you are almost forced to play a Soviet Assault. The expansion is available along with the original in a special box, so you can enjoy the full campaign.

And if you have passed the first, having played the expansion, we believe we can recommend you do the same, but since not many new developments, it sufficient to complete the experience of real time strategy war complete can be seen.

Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare PC and Crysis PC are undoubtedly the two first-person shooters of the time. Apart from the differences in argument (Crysis is set in a future of science fiction and Call Of Duty 4, now with real weapons), both games are far as to playability and technical aspect.

Playability

Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare PC has left us all shocked at this. Never had a title of COD presented a very realistic game play. Arguably, the shooter is more dynamic and faithful to reality in terms of movements and behavior of characters who are now on the market. View changes in real time, the mobility of our character and speed of response of our actions in the game are evidence of this.

Crysis PC, here, is usually a bit behind Call Of Duty. The gameplay is correct in the single mode, but does not go away. For example, we can find in situations where fire to an enemy 10 times and not die …! Nevertheless, it has original features including the ability to become invisible, so the strength with which we can make incredible jumps or speed mode that can be used in situations where we have no alternative but to run.

Graphics

As for graphics, Crysis surpasses PC Call Of Duty 4. Ojo, COD 4 is not far from a bad game in the technical section, but if we compare this with the PC and Crysis much we look, we see that there are details in the shadows and textures in low care. Much work has been done with the graphics but not at the same level as Crysis. But having argued for a small “sacrifice” has made technical Call Of Duty 4 has achieved a fluency in the game unprecedented.

Crysis PC has become one of the best first person shooters on the market. For its technical aspect and playability pulse has earned the title of masterpiece in the world of videogames. The next comment on the highlights of Crysis.

We moved to an island of the Philippines, playing the role of an American soldier named Jake Dunn. Jake is part of a special team was sent to the island to rescue a team of scientists who are in trouble after a North Korean attack.

At first, this seems to be a simple rescue mission, with no apparent problems. But soon unleashed a large-scale conflict in which they will be compromised even survival of the planet. Once the team reaches the island, we discover that our enemy is not the North Korean army, but an alien race that seeks to invade the Earth.

The tactical component is essential in Crysis PC. This is not your typical shooter in which we just shoot shot against enemies that keep appearing on the screen. We will have sophisticated weapons and equipment and will have to opt for the use of good strategies.

Playability

The game starts with the team dropping by parachute on the Philippine island of Ligshan. Once there we started our reconnaissance mission equipped with special suits that give us almost supernatural powers.

In the first stage of our enemies are human, that North Korean army had attacked the island. Using vegetation as a resource, we can find good camouflage and shooting positions. We also have a suit that will give us the ability to become invisible. The suit also has other special abilities such as resistance to bullets or extra speed, but can only use one at a time. It is worth noting that these special abilities can be used for a limited time, we have something that makes it a good strategy to use when choosing which end to use, when and for how long do you use it.

But once we have made progress in Crysis, we realize that our main enemy is not the North Koreans, but something that is not human. Because as we said before, an alien race planning to invade the earth.

One of the great successes of Crysis PC is the fact that we can get around the stage with total freedom, without any predetermined pattern. They will be able to choose valernos strategic points, to surround and attack the enemy by surprise, a key factor in the game.

As we face different obstacles, we have the ability to switch weapons and use the sniper view, which will help us when we have to aim at distant targets with precision.

Technical

Undoubtedly, the highlight of Crysis PC. The game graphically is simply brilliant and we can say that we are one of the best titles on the market in terms of graphics, but to the best.

Use the Cry Engine 2 graphics engine, the best there is today, and it shows when it comes to recreating the environments and elements.

All the objects we see a detailed overwhelming, almost real, and contains a high frame rate so that no camera will appreciate the changes. It is advisable to have a graphics card to be installed and up to enjoy the DirectX 10 game to 100 × 100. For non contéis with video equipment in the higher range, we also can enjoy the game, albeit with a slightly lower video settings.

Also the sound effects are equal to this overproduction. Every shot, explosion or any action will be supplemented by a very realistic sound that will have the sensation of being inside the game. Moreover, the dubbing is very good Castilian, with voices like that of actor Ben Affleck to turn in the movies.

The physics of the game is also unforgiving. All objects in the game may be used or capable of being modified. To stone or even smaller hens will be part of the game and will be integrated into the game, and we can cogerlas, thrown or do whatever we want with them. Moreover, the shock waves from explosions or vehicles are not just graphics, but will impact on the environment or even in ourselves.
Artificial Intelligence

Along with the graphics and physics of the game, the best of Crysis PC. Both the human and alien enemies show very realistic behavior of behavior that will be affected by our actions and other circumstances.

Thus, we can see the soldiers march in retreat when appropriate, how they communicate among themselves to change the strategy, how to move quietly to avoid being discovered, in short, how they behave as if they were real.

Multiplayer

In addition to the robust story mode, Crysis has two modes for multiplayer, Deathmatch and Fighting the Forces. They can face other players in batches of up to 32 participants. Fight Force is a Team Deathmatch variant in which we can perform actions such as buying extra weapons.

Conclusions

Undoubtedly this is one of the best titles on the market. A level graph has not gone anything like it so far, if that’s not enough, the physics of objects and artificial intelligence in the game are exceptional.

We can say that Crysis is a PC title advanced of its time, the graphic engine that uses, for the genius in the gameplay and more. A reference to what the future of video games.

But for many, there is not perfect and all have a small masterpiece deficiency. In Crysis has been difficult to find and being fussy, we can mention a few. As is our obligation to also remove defects games say that Crysis is the glue that is necessary for a good team to enjoy a 100 × 100 (eye, with a mid-range computer can also play).

After several expansions that have been emerging for FEAR, Monolith is the developer has proposed to make a sequel to this brilliant fully independent FPS.

With the name of FEAR 2: Project Origin PC, the second of the series promises to get everyone’s hair stand on end, with a new argument, more content and a technical improvement, if indeed it has not reached the level of original.

Argument

The first noticeable change that we see when playing FEAR 2: Project Origin PC is a story which, linked with the former, but completely independent of it. The protagonist has changed, now embodies Michael Becket. This character is totally different from the first delivery. This is a soldier who will guide you in various stages of the game, fighting against enemies and against the powers of Soul.

Yes, Alma. The mysterious girl returns, now with more force and more cruelty. For those who do not know, Alma is a creepy kid who has some supernatural powers. And not just used for doing good. Using their full potential, she planted a wave of destruction through the city truly spectacular.

Well, the argument put us right after the completion of the events of the first FEAR was in the midst of a routine mission along with our special forces squad, we will be surprised by a terrible explosion of paranormal origin. From there, the Soul will begin unleashed on the city of Auburn, sumiéndola in total chaos.

At birth there, in various stages of first-person view, which follow the same structure as the original game. The truth is that in this spot a little FEAR 2: Project Origin PC, to be a little continuity, although it is true that it has deepened a bit more plot in the plot.

Playability

As in any good FPS we progress through the levels, holding our weapons in first person view and ending with the relentless enemies who are constantly on our front path.

When I start playing FEAR 2: Project Origin PC, we will see that the scenarios are somewhat repetitive and sosos, and perhaps too similar to the original. However, to move forward, we see that the scenarios are becoming more varied and exciting, with endless possibilities playable.

The shootings are in FEAR 2: Project Origin PC, to the agenda. As in the first FEAR, relentless action scenes are going on iran. Scenes in which the exchange of bullets will be frantic. In addition, this year, shooting speed is somewhat higher, which should be outstanding at any time and be flexible with the trigger.

Unlike FEAR PC, which had a bottom line in terms of action and tension, in the second start and start with a thrilling pace of game. The suspense was a bit lost at the expense of action, and this makes the game more intense and agile.

However, despite the fact that as we have said the gameplay has become much more brutal, you lose a bit of originality, which makes FEAR 2: Project Origin PC fails to achieve quality (broadly speaking) the first.

As for the artificial intelligence of enemies, it is very level and appear to operate on intelligent behaviors. Is something that happened in the first FEAR, and that has been maintained.

Before commenting on the technical aspect of the game, we must not forget to mention two new additions. First, we have the possibility to drive certain vehicles in the game mechanics. Secondly, there is increased interaction with the environment, so now there are more objects that can be used.

Graphically

A visual, FEAR 2: Project Origin PC is much higher quality than its predecessor. It is obvious, since it has been over three years since leaving the title and running time is constant technical evolution. However, it was the first, the expectations on the expected more than what it really offers graphically. It is a very good game, but does not reach the height of visual masterpiece.

Paragraph Sonoro

The sound, however, if it meets the expectations that this game has. The truth is pleasantly surprised that the atmosphere that is created through the combination of soundtrack and effects. Every shot, explosion or any other sound, forming a truly outstanding composition. Possibly, this is the most knowledgeable of the game.

Conclusions

FEAR PC revolutionized the world of FPS earning the title of masterpiece. Three years have passed since the date and Monolith developed this second installment (assuming that the expansions are not).

The truth is that it presents many improvements to the original. Better graphics (though they expected a little more), a more direct game play and new and interesting content.

However, as often happens with the second part, quite lost the element of originality. The novelty meant that first FEAR or psychological sense of fear to play, lost substantially. And the improvements do not compensate sufficiently. Anyway, FEAR 2: Project Origin PC deserves the label of a shooter and is marked to be taken seriously.
