Devastation is a dark and moody, realistically styled post-apocalyptic first person shooter that focuses on team combat. It throws you into this really messed up version of Earth seventy-two years from now, where you and...read a full review [ARUSH Entertainment]

Just look at those screenshots. How can this crap get to 79% :-(

Terrible game...

Overall: 30%

Saibot	posted - Apr, 12 2003 - 04:45
EXACTLY. I have no idea what the author drank/smoked when he wrote the review and gave this game 79% but this game is terrible. The whole game feels outdated and has NOTHING fun or even remotely innovative.

RUBBISH GAME...... Its a devastation who ever made this !

With all the complaining going on (without real arguments),I just wanted to state that this is good game, I've had no crashes, even before the patch.

I've played online (v380) and the gameplay is pretty damn fun. I'm afraid most people here only tried warez version or demo.

If you have crashes, I can recommend you, If you are currently running the 40.41 drivers either downgrade to 30.82 or install newer drivers.

And who said that the price is high? 37 bucks isn't too much in comparison with other AA titles. (Do you remember Unreal2?)

How I said in the review, I liked the game, especially multiplayer portion. They fixed many problems in the last patch.

Before I tried this one, I had been playing Enclave on the PC for quite a while. No doubt, Devastation is abysmal in comparison with the bestseller Enclave. -- OK, maybe this is far-fetched, but apart from the fact that I had no crashes and that I could play in 1600x1200x32 on my ATI Radeon 9700, gameplay was a pure reiteration of SOF-like action with useless interaction with NPC's acting boringly and looking awful. -- It is astonishing how they can afford to develop a game based on one of the most expensive engines in the world and at the same time failing to harness the power of it. This sort of game is by far not the only one of its kind: Sniper - Path of Vengeance and Postal 2 with its one-of-a-kind abhorrent level design are birds of the same feather.

I played demo, I found it sucked. Demo is a representation of the game, I found the sounds horrible, the pistol sounded like a cap gun and I found the graphics to be nothing to write home about. I tried about 5 servers and they all lagged or the netcode is really bad. I wasn't impressed at all with this game.

If you don't like it, don't play it. And if you think it sucks so much, make a better game yourself.

Hx, you're afraid cause we use warez copy? Hey, i'm not so mad to waste my money with a such crappy game. Graphics 3/5 totalli outdated. Sound 1/5 the worst sound i ever heard. And i use audigy 2 with 6.1 speakers. Gameplay 2/5 Duke 3d still roks.. So, people, why we must waste our money with a such game?

Sorry the truth hurts, the AI team mates are simply terrible. The NPC's just stand 20ft away from you and don't see/shoot you -You would love Daikatana then if you seriously like this. Stop supporting crap like this and we'll get proper games like GTA3/Vice City. Instead of utter garbage like Postal 2 and Devastation -what happened to *gameplay*?? Please dev's. keep this to consoles that require at the max four buttons and put *real* games on the PC.

This game was excellent, and the quality is very high. Gameplay was very exciting and unique. It's funny how all these bad comments are coming from the same person, with the same spelling mistakes. No one has given this game less than a 70%, and the average right now is like 80 and that means a lot. All these posts are from just one big fat idiot who hates the game and wants to hurt them by posting anonymously. FYI the warezed version logs and sends back your IP's, so I don't suggest anyone download it.

I agree with all with all critisism that have been written by players... Graphix - 0% Interest - 8% old as hell - 100%! Deduction - this game is old as Duke Nukem and interesting as Mario. by one word this is crap! $%^&! Not worth to be taken for free ;]

I got this game about a month ago as a pre-beta tester. Absolutely terrible. Does nothing for me, but nothing has since Max Payne.... ahh... Sweet Max Payne...

Going by the comments displayed here i agree and disagree, Yes your teammates have very poor AI - sometimes you cannot even tell them to stay back and they run straight into battles they cannot possibly win, or standing in the way and being hit by trains etc. Im not too sure what people are saying about the graphics though this game is running the unreal tech engine and is great - very detailed realistic environments although a little dark. The missions get boring because your team is useless if the AI was better it would be more immersive. Now, multiplayer is a different story - the speed is in the middle between quake/ut and counterstrike, the deathmatch level design is great and the entirely interactive environments add to the fun. Overall if your looking for a new urban warfare multiplayer definately give this a shot, on the other hand if singleplayer is all you want this could pass the time but even postal 2 will give you a better experience than this.

""FYI the warezed version logs and sends back your IP's", ahhahaha you just spelled even bigger disaster for this game. There is no way in hell I am buying it now. Warez version only sends this? Nah way, they are probably actively taking stats from your machine. That just signed sealed and committed this game to the hunk of junk pile. I don't buy any crap game that invades my privacy. I pay for a game, thats just it. It's my property. Like I said before, the game is a hunk of junk probably the worst I've ever seen done with an engine. The gun sounds are so unrealistic it's almost embarassing to admit of oneself that they worked on this game.

Unfortunatly, some of these replies seem to have been written by 12year olds. However, I would have to agree with the overall opinion. I have no idea how anyone could possibly in good conscience rate this game this high. Even after the patch, this is the most disappointing and bug-filled game I have ever purchased in the 20+ years thatI have been playing games (and I'm not 21...I'm 32). Shame on those that made the decision to ship a game filled with bugs that should have been caught; Shame on the people who hyped this game as having superior AI and wonderful interactivity (It's absolutely terrible - you can't even shoot out glass windows?). The buggy phyics do nothing for game except slow it down; and finally....shame on this review. I bought this game and should have known better - I wanted to give a new company and new people the benefit of the doubt. My mistake...it won't happen again. Buyer beware.

I can't beleive what you are all saying, the weapons sound just like SOFII, the AI is better than SOFII, and it runs perfetly on my system which isnt that powerful. And the graphics? HOW CAN ANY OF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT THE GRAPHICS??? No game looks as good as this! You're all insane in the membrane and probably never even played the game.

Losty - [email protected], no sympathy for the game maker here, sorry. It's a crap game. Gooli either you got wax the size of jupiter in your ear but it's pretty insulting to even try and compare this game to SOF2. Sure SOF2 netcode sucks rats balls as soon as you are over 100 ping but the comparison of weapon to SOF2. Get off the pot. The pistol sounds like a bloody cap gun and I got a audigy2 and a p4-2ghz. The game is a bargain bin game, work no more than $9.99. Also, their price is a complete joke and I laughed hard seeing it at the store. I feel sorry for any sucker that buys this game.

madhadder you must be playing the demo, they fixed the weapon sounds already and now they sound much better. The netcode is also much better now.

Fluke	posted - Apr, 15 2003 - 19:13
nah...I based my feelings on that demo. Unfortunate for them, the demo convinced me it was a smalltime game. Maybe down the road if it is better I might reconsider but right now, demo left me with a pretty bad taste. Glad to hear they fixed the sounds. That pistol was the worst and cheapest I ever heard..hehe. Thanks for letting me know ;)

I am three quarters through this game. Personally, I am having a blast with this game. I don't know what all this gripeing is about, the graphics are just fine,the sound is good,and most of all the gameplay is excellent. The patch fixed most of the problems with the game. So I suggest everyone gripeing about it being a lousy game to reload it and the patch and if you don't have fun you really don't like fps.

i love internet "street" teams dont you: "you all suck, this game is great. you are probably playing all the warez version (right, like thats the problem) or the demo (if thats the problem, than its even worse). its logging your ip and sending it back. (oh great, even if it does taht, waht it doesnt, what will happen? how many people who use windows auto update and didnt buy the game care about ip logging? exactly, no one, with good reasons.)" oh and yes, judging by spelling errors taht ALL bad comments come from the same person is as smart, as logging ips of a game, taht the same people dont like, so they wont bother playing it anymore. mmm i pity those who actually bought this game, as always, they are the really screwed ones... and hte ones who have to come here and say how good that game is. are you also making the good comments for POSTAL2? i mean is there a company for that way of making propaganda?

and indeed, until now i didnt see any good Unreal2 powered game, even unreal 2 was a joke, i mean fun playing, but after you are trough with it you realize how unimportant it is in the whole FPS scene. i hope deus ex2 will start a new site on unreal2 based games...(postal2, oh my god, i played hte demo, why does this shitty game run worse on my machine than unreal 2 did, and still look like its a quake2 game, i mean common, the characters, oh dear god, and there are actually people who blame people not having a 3ghz cpu? are you serious? bad game, thats the real reason, dont let me start about the game content itself...)

sikwitit, excellent man. You're so right about 'if it was made in 1994' hahahaha. Another thing I wanna quote that made me laugh. "So I suggest everyone gripeing about it being a lousy game to reload it and the patch and if you don't have fun you really don't like fps". Ya that's why I play the MOST POPULAR games on the net, cuz I don't like FPS. SOF2, DoD, CS, BF1942, UT2k3 cuz I don't like FPS. No sorry, Johnny Le Fag, the game sucks.

yes Bob1 its my fault, its never the fault of the people who make those games and demos, its ALWAYS the user, by the way, WINDOWS was running stable from the first day it was released (all versions), its just that people have shitty machines and are dumb.... on another note, dude dont care so much about spelling errors, english is not my native language, and i am proud you at least get what i mean, how about you try to tell me your oppinion, in lets say GREEK, you geek... is this the new american international racism that everybody is talking about?

I suck at spelling, I can't spell Guarentee right now (it looks wrong), but your "hte" and "htat" were so annoying because you did it over and over. I won't be getting Devastation if its buggy to begin with.

Haven't played the game yet but looking at it i am glad i didn't buy it. Usually i play FPS games within in one hour and then just get rid of it if i don't like it. Devastation had me almost waste my money but now i am just downloading the crap just for the sake of playing the game. Haven't played a game in months. Well which FPS is better. Most of of the time i play RTS and RPGs. Any REC....
