Play it for the multiplayer

Gore isn't a bad first person shooter for a budget price, but I found that the gameplay got too repetitive because they only have a handful of enemies. They used the same enemies over and over so your being attacked by 3 of the same enemy at points. Had they chosen anything other than humans, this wouldn't have been as so bad. The graphics are around an 8 for it's time. The multiplayer is the best part of the game, but you have to actually find the few that play it. They tend to be accepting to new players. Basically, if you can get it for under $5, give it a shot. If nothing else it will entertain you for an hour or so.

FAST, FAST, FAST!!

This is one of the most fun online games you'll ever play!! Unreal Tournament is a joke compared to this game! This game is the fastest FPS I've ever played. I play BF2 sometimes but it is SOOOOO SLOOOOOOOWWWW you almost fall asleep running to where the action is. Unreal Tournament is boring and not as well done as this game. This game is for the coffee guzzlin speed freak adrenaline junkies out there! The single player sucks big time though, I mean really sucks, but the online play is as good as it gets. So if you don't have DSL or cable buy Far Cry, it's the best single player game I've played in awhile. But if you have a broadband connection try this online!

God-Awful Terrible

This has to be one of the worst FPS's I have ever played in my entire life. It can be summed up as the following;
NEVER EVER BUY THIS GAME
EVER
NEVER EVER
Plentiful bugs, horrible graphics, shoddy coding, and registration that signs you up for spyware all help to make this one of the worst FPS games ever released upon an unsuspecting public.
Want a fast online FPS? Go buy Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 Arena or ANYTHING BUT THIS!

frustrating and invasive

I was looking for a single player first person shooter. What I got was signed up to a lot of online spyware. I did not expect the game to require an online connection to play, and I resented being subjected to a gaming paysite as I loaded the game. Otherwise, the game might have been fun... except that I could not figure out how to save anything.. having to start out from the beginning every time got old fast. I was persuaded to buy the game by all the other glowing reviews; thus my advice... don't waste your time or money!

Don't bother buying any other fps, this game rocks. Single player mode is a good way to get comfortabe w/ controls, then g
et ready for some awsome, violent, game play on line. it works solid on my xp, no problems w/ connection, & very addictive game play.I'v played UT2&3 I always default back to Gore.

For 56K modems this is your FPS Game

The engine coding and online performance is so slick - I could compete even with a 56K modem. That did it for me. It's the only game I know where i can do well with a slow modem.

The single player game plays like Doom2, only the graphics are much, much better (ofcourse). The multiplayer absolutely rockxs.
If Ut2K3 has the STAM drain feature then I would say it is just as good as GORE! But it doesn't.

Works with Windows XP ?

The single player mode gets boring after awhile. The enemy characters and sayings are extremely repetitve and there is no real "extras" in the game. The graphics are not really that "gory" and they are also very repetitive. I found quake 2 to have better blood loss and change in death scenes. The major problem I found was with the compatibility of XP. I have a new computer and almost everytime I was somewhere in the game it would kick out of the system and I would lose everyting, It was very frustrating to restart the game and hope it would even load. The only thing I did enjoy about the game was the multiple weapon systems and alternative fire methods. I find the game disappointing at best.

GOOD First-person Shooter

"Gore" is one of those indipendant developer projects that you admire despite its flaws - which are plentiful. After all, the single player campaign isn't much different than "Doom," and the missions, while sometimes interesting (like the haunted house or the escort scenario), feel very disconnected from one another despite the ongoing (but ultimately feeble) plotline. After all, what does an old Western town have in common with an ancient temple, a gothic cathedral, or a futuristic cityscape? Not much. If you're looking for a FPS with a good story, avoid this one. However, if you're looking for a shooter with some solid action moments, "Gore" is the budget-priced title for you (assuming you've already played your way through the "Serious Sam" games). After all, "Gore" offers loads of cool weapons with alternate fire modes. In fact, I'm hard-pressed to think of a game in recent times with this many weapons to pick from. Some of them are conventional FPS material (like the beloved chain gun or missile launcher), and others are truly unique (like the shielded shotgun). Though the enemies can quickly become repetitive, and have maddeningly poor voice-overs (which sound remarkably like an enraged Weird Al), the damage modeling is surprisingly good. It's not Soldier of Fortune by any means, but head-shots count, and that's a plus. Don't expect to interact with your environment much, though. This game doesn't even contain a single door to open, let alone any kind of puzzlers. It's a strange move, but it keeps the action flowing.

The Bottom Line: "Gore" is a good FPS, particularly if you're in the mood for multiplayer action. The single-player campaign is fairly entertaining, but nothing to write home about. In any other case, this would warrant 3 stars, but given the affordable price and the game's admirable origins, I had to give it 4. "Gore" isn't a bad little game if you're not expecting great things.

Old game, different name.

Very disappointed in this game. It's only a jazzed-up version of another FPS game called Hired Team that came out awhile ago. Not happy with Gore at all.
