Wow! This game is great! It feels like what Kingpin wanted to be but didn't have the plot, although I enjoyed that game I must admit. The graphics are sweet! The physics are insane and almost anything can be picked up and thrown or knocked over. I was in an alley and a bad guy appeared towards the end of it. I shot him and he fell into a pile of boxes and those went flying as well. Shoot a guy and blood will splatter against the wall behind him. There are problems like the AI is pathetic and clipping and things like that but nothing takes away from the fun. There's nothing like coming up a stairwell behind a guy sitting in a chair facing away from you and splattering his unassuming brains against the wall. There are alot of guys to kill so the action is intense and non-stop.
There are alot of things to adjust like how much you want items to be affected by the physics engine. I have it cranked all the way up so I'm like a bull in a china shop knocking things over and kicking bottles around but it attracts the enemy and that's what I want. There is a tab to put it on simulation or action. I have it on sim and there's a helluva lot of action as it is. I'll finish it this way then go back in action/arcade mode. Check this game out. It's a great companion to Red Faction II right now as far as action games go and the graphics are really nice but the animation does suck! It's easily overlooked when the game is so much fun though.
Devastation
Co-published by ARUSH Entertainment and Groove Games, and Developed by Digitalo, Devastation™ is a high-action, teamplay-oriented first-person shooter powered by heavily modified, next-generation Unreal® Engine tech.
Storyline
On a future devastated Earth, powerful, corrupt corporations control remaining technology and rule what's left of society. Pacification Squads, a brutal private police force, maintain order for the corporate syndicate.
The only hope for freedom is a small group of Resistance fighters made up of gang leaders, mercenaries and ex-military operatives. As the Resistance leader you must assemble your army and travel the globe, restoring peace and sanity in a very dangerous world.
Highlights
Next-generation Unreal® Engine coupled with the MathEngine Karma™ physics system provides dramatic visuals, ultra-realistic object physics, rag-doll deaths, and user-friendly mod tools
Hollywood-style explosions and in-your-face special effects showcase awesome particle physics including explosive headshots, flowing water and blood, amazing weapons effects and realistic fire created by the amazing "OFX" VisualFX system with full hardware T & L support
Incredible next-generation AI that gives enemies and NPCs micro-behaviors and heightened awareness, while teammates provide intelligent cooperation and assistance
Practically everything can be used, destroyed or manipulated–set traps with the garbage in the streets, use a broken bottle to slash your way to victory or toss a chair down the hall to distract a guard
More than 40 unique weapons, including machine guns, swords, handguns, sniper weapons and incredible Rat Drones that allow players to "become the weapon"
Objective-based single player campaign, incorporating special skills like stealth, surveillance, hacking into security systems, sniping, and brute force
36 massive, photorealistic levels based off real-world textures, including 22 single player and 14 multiplayer maps, set in four stunning environments
All the favorite multiplayer standards, including traditional head to head and teamplay games, including an exciting new style of multiplayer gaming
Superior sound, from the ability to use noise to distract enemies or alert team mates, to the cutting edge soundtrack by Messy–the techno rebirth of members of Love & Rockets
