This is extended to being able to move away from the controls and walk around during flight as the ship continues on its course. Each weapon also has an alternative fire. For example: the four barrel shotgun can be fired as a single shot or a burst from all barrels. How about combining the frantic action of a first-person shooter with the frantic action of a, uh, first-person space sim? I say sim. It's as much a space sim as the space flying bits of UT, which is to say not at all.
Which the developer of Mace knew full well, and so kept the flying bits to a minimum, concentrating instead on the relentless foot-based blasting with relish. Meaty weapons, a half-decent plot and dumb-as-planks bad guys all add up to a shooter that promises much, delivers a little, but troubles no-one.
Crave August Imagine playing a futuristic Clint Eastwood bent on revenge against a corporation to times as corrupt as Enron, and you've got Mace in a nutshell. Although the game doesn't have any multiplay, Crave's confident its first-person ground-combat and arcadey space dogfights will make up for the absence. Now is too early to tell, but if the gameplay's as good as the graphics, they may be right.
Mace Griffin isn't a horrible first-person shooter, but its numerous rough edges wear you down over time. It's tough to overlook its frequent pauses for loading, brain-dead enemies, unrealistic animations, and repetitive graphics. Once you've been in a new environment for five minutes, you've basically seen about every grate, wall, door, and enemy you're going to see for the next hour.
The space-shooting sections could have broken up the first-person-shooting action well, but the time limits the game imposes and lack of a save-any-where function mostly just make them annoying.
Multiplayer splitscreen or online modes could've helped round out the game, but Mace has neither. Considering the game's small selection of dumb enemies, the firefights are surprisingly enjoyable--but the gameplay still gets tedious. Most levels follow the same structure: "Fly in, fight enemies in space, shoot enemies on the ground, and Someone's escaped! Go get in your ship and shoot them down! It's worth renting, but buyers beware. You don't play this game; it plays you.
You can do only what you're supposed to do. Not sure where to go? Just find the only door that opens. While the majority of action is played from a first-person viewpoint on the ground, the act of traveling to and from destinations is accomplished via spaceship. Hostile encounters with creatures in space may also affect relations with that particular race on the surface. As the main character gains renown across the galaxy, players will be able to unravel more of the story and embark on specific missions designed to further the main plot.
In-game environments include space stations, battle cruisers, and various planetary surfaces as players move one step closer to solving the conspiracy. In the deep recesses of space, a man has come looking for answers and seeking revenge. The man is Mace Griffin, a former member of the elite Ranger squadron has just returned from prison after being framed for the loss of his team ten years earlier. Mace takes work as a bounty hunter in an effort to gain information on who has set him up.
The game unfolds in a series of missions that are punctuated by cut scenes as missions are assigned at various locations such as space stations that are teaming with activity. The main character plans revenge on the traitors, and thus becomes a head hunter. There are over a dozen levels in the game, the main goal of which is to kill enemies appearing on the road. There are many types of weapons to choose from. These are both standard weapons found in other games, as well as more future-proof equivalents of well-known copies.
The game also allows you to pilot a spaceship. Important Information: Abandonwaregames. To the best of our knowledge, these games are no longer available on the market and are not supported by publishers. If you know otherwise, write to us. Developer Warthog Games Ltd.
