The round will end if it is destroyed, the timer reaches zero, or if Omegalodon dies.

[I posted this on the Greenlight page, hence why it sounds a bit review-y, but I figured I should cross-post it here too! Definitely one of the better casual games I've played. It's not perfect, but it has some great aspects and a ton of potential. I love being able to drive any vehicle I come across and stomping every tree I run into! The multiplayer is solid. I never experienced any lag and I was playing on non-dedicated servers. There's a neat little map that you can use to find the Omegalodon and your teammates/enemies. The vehicles are great fun. Every single vehicle you could think of is in the game. Dump trucks... 747s... ambulances... speedboats. They're all there. And they respond to how you would expect, to an extent. I'm pretty sure the 747 can't do a barrel roll at a few hundred feet off the ground in real life, but who cares, it can be done here! Best part about the vehicles is that there are MULTIPLE OF EVERYTHING. Seriously, I love not having to wait for someone to finish flying a jet or helicopter so I can have a turn. My only gripe with the vehicles is that aircraft have an altitude cap, which isn't very high. My plane usually can scrape the top of a building but that's it. Now, I can sort of understand the cap -- dev probably doesn't want aircraft to just fly out of range of the land vehicles -- but the aircrafts lose altitude as they stay in the air. Again, this sort of makes sense, but it's irritating. Destruction is fun too. It's not quite on par with the destruction of, say, Battlefield 3 where every object can explode into a million pieces, but it's good for what it is. I like the animations and graphic styles. They fit with the game. I played this game last night for the first time and I can't get it out of my head. I will be looking forward to updates and I recommend this for Greenlight! |
