Doe Iron Storm get any better?

Post by msurby »

I just got Iron Storm really cheap at EB and could just barely bring myself to play it. The graphics are weird, the whole trenches with snipers beginning is irritating. The concept seems cool but the game just seems to be lacking. Is it worth investing more time in? Am I just too demanding now that I have played games like HL2 and FarCry? This may not totally be the case, because I was having fun with SoF and that game is fairly old.

Anyway, if anybody has anything good to say, now is the time.

I remember WANTING to enjoy that game, but the cheating sniper AI just blew it.

I actually played that all the way through (which is saying a lot with my ADHD gaming). I remember it getting much better after the initial pounding, but in all honesty it's been a while so details are fuzzy. I loved the setting.

It does get better, but never goes beyond mediocre with a few good moments. The ending was one of the worst.

It does get better. The first few levels are definatly the most annoying. I really rather liked it but I am not as picky as some people here and ymmv.
