Seek and Destroy

Seek and Destroy description

Yeah, I already played a good arcade games on military subjects. Probably not play. When I hit Seek and Destroy, at first I was delighted. Finally, something new. But the joy, as it turned out, was premature. No, I will not scare you and say that the game is bad. Just saw better. But about all under the order.

So, say, you unpacked arhivchik and even optimized the memory of the computer that is required by toy 460 KB. Getting to play.

Plot.

And once the puncture developers. The story was written in the manual, but the intros in the game. Obviously, lazy Safari.

So, after the nuclear war of 1998, 10 years have passed. All lived peacefully and were happy. But then the local exploration discovers a group of extremists who settled in South Africa and copasi weapons for waging war. The command did not come up with anything better than their total destruction. This is where you come in.

Gameplay.

After the game settings under your computer's start to the game. To accomplish the mission you have two vehicles. It's a helicopter, judging by their appearance – "Apache", and a futuristic tank. Before the mission, we need to specify what will move, then go to the store where you possible to buy. Here the developers have pleased Arsenal rather big. There are different types of missiles and bombs, and guns. And different weapons for the helicopter and the tank, as it should be. After the purchase we start to do the job. Here nothing has changed since the days of Desert Strike. The job is simple, mainly the destruction of all life on the map and picking up their people.

Helicopter. Do you remember Desert/Urban/Jungle Strike? Remember the smooth movement of the helicopter, its inertial model, a lot of parameters? Sure! Helicopter in Seek and Destroy twitches like a spastic, neither of which the inertia of the speech is none at all. He let go of the key, the helicopter is immediately stuck like glue. The principle of strafe shamelessly steers. Constantly moving left-right, I can easily destroy enemy units without receiving a single scratch. After the explosion, another building on the land there is a small icon bukvochki flying over which we get a bonus like armor or fuel. Oh, where's good old Desert Strike, with its different kinds and the form of bonuses and the need to hover over them to collect?

Picking up people is a little more interesting. As soon as we were approaching the right building, because it runs out of people. Press, and some half a second our helicopter already on the ground. Man goes aboard and take off.

Tank. The tank we have a green, rectangular and even less beautiful than the helicopter. In fact, the management of the tank has a few differences from control helicopter. First, you can now crash into a tree. And since the map a lot of them, nuzzle their nose you will often. Secondly, to play for the tank alone is strongly not recommended. The thing is, that it's okay to pass the mission can only be masterfully wielding the art of shooting from a gun turret in different directions. But alone it is very difficult to do. Yes, and the turret is spinning like crazy. Therefore, call a friend, let him shoot while you drive. By the way, that very much beautifies the game: for example, I almost liked to pass other levels. The tank has more armor and power than a helicopter, but the principle of missions is not changed.

Graphics.

Graphics are not up to par. The helicopter is painted quite carelessly, and the enemy locations. Tank in General, it seems, was drawn in Paint in 15 minutes between smoke breaks. Not enough explosions, and even explode the thing that should not be.

Sound. The sound is generally horrible. A few *.wav-ov explosions and a few on the sound of the engines, that's all.

Conclusion. Would not be surprised if I found out that the game is made on Game Maker engine by team fans. For serious games, the project is too crude. However, fans of unpretentious arcades may like it. And the opportunity to ride on a tank on a couple of other very good. The game is download only man to have something to do during a friendly conversation or a smoke break at work. If you want to enjoy arcade fighting helicopters – set yourself Desert Strike.
