Rating: Summary: C'mon...Get Serious! Review: This game is buggy, but it can be some fun with the patch.A couple of years ago, Croteam's _Serious Sam_ gave gamers like me what we wanted: a no-brainer, high adrenaline, shoot-em-up with a unique and suprisingly powerful engine that can handle *dozens* of simple-minded but fun enemies on even a mediocre PC. Furthermore, the developers (a team based in Croatia) delivered all this with plenty of laughs at a price that ought to be the standard: [$$$]! Not to mention a *fantastic* cooperative mode for all us folks using an LAN at home. Next of kin love it: how's that for "quality family time"--? Just awesome. This UBI knockoff delivers more of the same at about the same price. And yet, you can't play this without feeling like they just didn't *get it*. Every inch of this game breathes: "Marketing decision." The humor is flat. Bugs get in the way. Cooperative mode is nonlinear (just one level at a time, and then you start your character over again). Death means clicking to respawn until you just don't care anymore. And enemies either bore you or frustrate you, rather than making you angry enough to wanna kick ... . All in all, Will Rock makes for a bland diversion until the next Serious Sam comes out. If you haven't played the Serious Sam games, do those first. Once you've gone through those at least few times, *maybe* consider this title.
Rating: Summary: ... Kicker + 1 Review: This game is the greatest. One day im looking for a new game at [a local store]. The only reason i picked up Will Rock is because it cost [$$$]. But when i paid for it and got home i found it was the FPS i had ever played. I've played Wolfenstein 3d and Half-Life... They have nothing on this game. Its like playing Doom because of the monsters and weapons but its also like The Gladiators of Rome because of the enviroments. I love the bullet-time thing as well, it's like the matrix. Guns, Bullet-Time, Monsters. What are you waiting for? ... and by the way, you can fix the bugs with the patch found at [the will-rock website].
Rating: Summary: Serious Sam Meets Zeus.. Review: This is a fairly decent FPS, that is alot like Serious Sam: One man against a horde of monsters. Flying monsters, hopping monsters and running monsters; all in a Greek mythology inspired environment. The weapons are OK and the graphics are good but the controls are a little sticky at times.
Rating: Summary: Stupid Title but a Better than average "shoot-em-up" Review: Will Rock is a lot like Serious Sam: Great graphics, lots of firepower and a high body count. The story centers around the hero fighting off resurrected Greek gods and Demi-gods with non-magical automatic weapons and rocket launchers and a few exotic weapons. You do get magical powerups: immortality, super slow-motion and invulnerability. You will need a fairly powerful PC with a good graphics card to fully enjoy Will Rock. Also, I found this game to be very hard due to the sheer number of enemies that come at you, always when you are trying to cross a narrow bridge over a lava pit. Bosses are always accompanied by their aggressive underlings; an advanced degree in fragology is needed to get past the last boss: Zeus. All in all, this is a great game for the price, and it has no game-stopping bugs.
Rating: Summary: Will Rock is a Kick-A** title for $$ Review: Wow, this game has incredible graphics, intense gameplay, shattering objects, morphing Greek monsters, and amazing scenery. The reflections and attention to scene detail make this a visually enticing game, while the sheer number of mindless monsters kept me on my toes, especially those sword wielding skeleton creatures. For $$, you can't go wrong with this game--it simply Rocks!
