Futuristic Warfare has been something that will always be debated in gaming. Section 8 proves to be yet another chapter of this sense. With multiplayer online gaming, a story mode, and really nothing else, but to prove you can make an almost dedicated online FPS title that is addicting.

Section 8 throws you right into the action with a couple of different modes. You have your instant action, which like the name suggests, puts you into a match with a team and you have to kill or be killed while completing certain unlocked objectives that become active after a certain criteria has been met. There is also a Multiplayer mode, which allows you to select all your options, ranging from a ranked match, to the bot difficulty, to the map, etc. Then there is Corde's Story which follows Alex Corde of the 8th Armored Infantry who is up against the Arm of Orion.

The graphics of the game are pretty decent, and allow for fast gameplay, especially when your going at it online. I really didnt have any problems with Frame Rate and i was able to attack at full will when I wanted to. The landscapes are okay, the buildings designs or detailed okay but the most detailed out of anything would be the weapons (as seems to be the case with any FPS) All in all, not bad at all, and VERY manageable.

The sound and music department fit the game well, and the voice overs are done nicely and will ease your mind while playing. I haven't yet thought a sound was out of place for this game, so I am pleased with that. The sounds of the weapons fire, explosions, free falling to the planet, etc are all on par and sound as expected which is a really good thing.

The controls are actually decent. You have to learn your button maps at first, so that you know how to jump, fire, lock-on, etc. but it takes maybe a game or two online to get them down and be comfortable.

Replay value of Section 8 is actually high due to the fact of the online multiplayer realm. A lot of the achievements are also based online, and range from certain kills to a weapon, team based, objective based and so on. Hell my first online game I went 23 Kills - 4 Assists - 2 Deaths which really wanted me to play more and get those achieves. But if you get some friends and get a team going, I could see this lasting folks a good while.

All in all the game is a good rental, and it wouldn't be a bad idea too purchase either. It does exceptionally well, and plays smooth while delivering the online play.

Ratings

Graphics: 7.0
Sound: 7.5
Controls.7.0
Replay Value: 7.5
Achievements: 6.0
Overall: 7.0

Junior, please, pleaseee do not take this the wrong way but you shouldn't you wait until you've at least beaten the story mode first before you go writing a review? This games only been out for a couple days, I'm sorry but it doesn't make much sense to go ahead writing a review for it already. Again, I mean no offense but you could make your reviews a lot better if you explored all of the games content to the fullest, thus beefing up your review with more details.

that only one persons opinion (yours) I think he does a good job, what the point of whining over it anyway


Are you really the proper one to make this comment?

Quote by Lady Evol:


Writing a review without finishing the game is like writing an achievement guide before you get the achievements. You have the right to do it, by all means, but unless you're stealing someone else's ideas, no one in their right minds should listen.



I do agree with this. Maybe you can make your review in two parts....First Opinions and then an Actual Review. I know I did that with Afro Samurai, I didn't finish the game but I made a review type thread to give off my first impressions of the game...It's only a suggestion though Junior, no one is bashing you for making reviews.

Ohh Hai thar "Off" topic people. Jeez can you guys stay on topic ;)

So about section 8.....


I Played the demo, and with a party of people who already tried it and didnt like it in my ear I got off about 5 minutes in. Thier needed to be some single player in the demo to teach you the ropes in my opinion in stead of constantly wondering what does what.

also for the accrual game, Juinor, Didnt the movement speed (hyper speed excluded) annoy you. Thats what killed it for the people I knew that were looking forward to it. Shit if your not in Hyper-speed you walk at the speed of the PS3 game development team

I absolutely agree, that is why I posted this, although I should not have put it up to begin with and I agree.

Now could someone relay the message to shock to unblock me so we can discuss this, rather then have him call me a prick and block me, like a freaking adolescent.

Shock, it is clear that this is between you and me....So as Top Dogs said, leave it out of the forum, I tried sending you a message through my name but you blocked me, so I sent one through my wifes name.

Keep the review to reviews, it was my mistake to bring it in here in the first place, but now I'm trying to take it to the private messages.
