Video Game Reviews of Classified The Sentinel Crisis
Customer Review: Sentinel Crisis says one thing to me: low budget
Summary: 1 Stars
I really don't know where to start on this game. It's so terrible, so chalked full of faults, I could begin anywhere. Let's go with the story first.
As I popped Crisis into my X-Box, I was pretty optimistic. It was made in 05-06, and was a first person shooter, one of my favorite game catagories. I started the story mode and watched the load screen. Suddenly, I realized that I wasn't being greeted by a beginning cutscene worthy of a 05-06 engine. I wasn't even being greeted by a cutscene. I'm in a helicopter, looking at the HUD, with some guy talking in my ear. The game wasn't at very high volume. I looked for subtitles, but there were none. So, I drop out of the shot down helicopter with no idea what was going on. I played for a while with the volume turned up, then wished I had left it down. There's a 'political war' some-place-or-other, and I'm in a prototype suit called the Sentinel. I must help the 'Rebels' while finding some Dr. Landry. The end. That's the plot. One minor twist and you've got it.
Now for gameplay. It gets only a bit better here. You progress through the game in FP, using one upgradable gun. Sounds pretty basic. Maybe even cool if handled correctly. It wasn't. In the first place, the enemies can take an abnormal amount of punishment, about fifteen shots. That's sad, but what's even worse, is that instead of using the cool machinegun function on your gun, you'll find yourself using the sniper rifle, even at close range. Why? Because the guns are weak, hard to aim, and the sniper is the only thing that can do decent damage, if you can actually hit anything. It don't usually doctor my settings much, but I had to immediately change the aiming speed, but that still didn't help much. Also, though you might not care, the guns give me very little feeling of power. You fire a machine gun, expecting loud chains of fire, smoke, and blood. You'll be greeted by what seems like a suppressed submachine gun, small, small mists of blood, and enemies absorbing your fire and blowing you away instead. Not what I look for in a game. Disturbingly, the silence pistol is the most powerful weapon in the game.
Your given a useless shotgun, but also a grenade and RPG launcher very early, making it to easy to take out supposedly difficult areas. But the developers couldn't even get ammo right. You're given so much, it takes all the survival sense away.
Sounds and voiceovers. Oooooh boy. You'll get sad, sad voice overs, unlikable characters, and there isn't a single girl in the game! That should turn off a bunch of you. Cutscenes are scarce and not properly pulled off. The voices are annoying and the phrases are repeated. As I said earlier, you can hardly hear your guns, and explosions are lameified.
Graphics are the only decent thing about this game, and even they're pretty terrible. The AI waddle around like idiots and mouths hardly move when you can actually see them. Cutscenes involve about four characters, you included, along with an 'army' of Rebels (about five are seen at once).
The AI enemies are stupid and the AI allies are useless. There are four or five 'chapters' that are incredibly short (mercifully, I say).
All in all, if this hasn't turned you away, you will have to endure the tortures of Sentinel yourself. This is one classified occurance that should have remained classified.
Verdict: GOOD GOLLY GOSH! 1/1000 :)
