Simply magnificant.
Although Act I wasn't that unique and IMO, was a normal "kill-anyone" mission, Act II and III really showed WRECKAGE's gameplay.
I was stricken and very impressed on how this changed Crysis from a benchmark graphic testing demo to a real action game on par with such classical titles as CoD or MoH. Creating those maps, setting up scripts and triggers along with voice acting must have a been a very tiring work indeed.
The best two things is this standalone game were the suprising element of realism between the relations of officers and Marines and the dialogues. The story itself was a bit confusing for me at the start but near the end I realized how selfish the main heroes purpose was. The fact that the two commanders are pretty much acting on their own and the Marine force is being besieged and overwhelmed by the KPA also added to the game's originality. Something that is sadly rare in today's games. It's sadly uncommon to see scenes of infighting and personal agenda between soldiers and even rarer to see scenes where the USA is losing a battle.
WRECKAGE IMHO, has one of the most interesting and unique stories which is lacking in today's gaming industry. Saying this, I hope the WRECKAGE's dev team will someday create another fantastic title.
The only "bad parts" of the game that I've noticed is the appearance of small collision and control bugs during both helicopter rides and the final Korean jeep ride. One game breaking error to me was near the end when to chopper crashes and the game fails to change the weapon from the mounted MG to the rifle. This makes it impossible to change any weapons and basiclly forces you to be a walking Blackhawk. The last major bug was when everyone is preparing to enter the jeep and Jackson seems to always mount the MG even thought Major is saying to have Captain manning it.
Ending this long review I hope you guys will try to make another mod like this, only with the Korean perspective.
