Supreme Cmdr Posted January 10, 2002 Report Posted January 10, 2002 You can grab it herePretty good read, I thought. Though the final score is 172/200, thats about 86/100 I think. [ 01-10-2002: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
Wolferz Posted January 10, 2002 Report Posted January 10, 2002 I have to say SC, the fellow was spot on with that review. Did you notice the little ad for the equipment used to review BCM?

Guest Grayfox Posted January 10, 2002 Report Posted January 10, 2002 Quote:"the game sometimes crashes without warning, but 3000AD has shown incredible support for the title. Typical Derek Smart : )"wow... thats a big time compliment SC. and hes right. SC and the gang have been really on the ball on the support level, releasing patches/updates to the game to fix or improve the gameplay.it also seems that the reviewer also took the time to look at the manual and online docs. id say this was an excellent review that reflects on the time and effort SC and his crew spent on making such a fantastic game.

Supreme Cmdr Posted January 10, 2002 Author Report Posted January 10, 2002 OK, how long before Fabio aka Shirley aka Herbert aka "whatever alias he comes up with" shows up here?My guess? As soon as he reads this thread.
Joel Schultz Posted January 12, 2002 Report Posted January 12, 2002 I rarely comment on these "review is up" threads (at risk of adding redundant sentiment).But I have to say this: of all the reviews I've read thus far, it seems IMHO that this reviewer actually "got" the whole thrust of what BCM is supposed to be, vs. what it's not. Yes, if you rate graphics all by themselves it doesn't have as much glorious eye-candy as other titles that would (pretend to) compete in its genre - but BCM isn't about graphics for graphics sake. Yes, if you rate FP all by itself, it isn't Q3 - but BCM isn't about being the next king-of-the-mounted FP shooter.But whoever this "Viper" reviewer is understood the crux of what BCM is about. Gameplay. Gameplay. Gameplay. And brought out some cool points regarding the driving force behind the gameplay, the AI.BCM is a game that most definitely proves that the sum can be greater than the parts. Far greater.. . .Now, when's AVault going to review this thing anyway? Are they even working on one?
