I was skeptical. I've played some real stinkers in my time. I am so very glad i was wrong. After 10 hours of playing, and occasionally sweating, i can admit that i am hooked. I am floored by the overall beauty of the game. Very few bugs (one where you can walk through a fence), but none of those little things have gotten in the way of the incredible voice-over acting, crisp graphics, creative writing, suspensful music, and remarkable continuity. So much happens in this game in such a short period of time. Wonderful game with that 'brand new' and 'creative' feeling that i was beginning to think was lost in the FPS world. Thank god for encore. They made a shooter with tremoendous replay value. I can't say enough. How about this, it's 2:30 am and i have to get up at 8:00 am to go to work. Man this thing is fun. Don;t deny yourself this program!

Old school FPS, in a shiny new wrapper.

I got my hands a beta full version. Playing single player is very entertaining. I am running a Radeon 9800 Pro and can say that this is one the most visually pleasing games I have ever played. In our LAN's, the people running GF2 cards have had no trouble running it.

In multiplayer, I have only played "ShockTroops" which is nearly a carbon copy of CounterStrike with the missions, earning of money, and the purchasing of weapons. I have been sharing this beta in our LAN's and it has been well received. This is one of the few games that I own where the singleplayer and multiplayer gameplay are equally fun.

I think I will be buying this when it is released so that I can get a manual. Easily worth the [$$].

If FPS is your game, then don't pass this one up.

Looks very promising!

I played the single player demo of this game, and I was very impressed! The lighting effects are incredible, as are the environments (the water looks especially realistic). Even though I have an older computer, the demo played smoothly...probably due to the new game engine that Chaser employs. The plot seems interesting, in some ways similar to the movie "The Bourne Identity," although the voice acting in the demo cutscenes (and the dialogue) left a little to be desired. Nevertheless, based on the demo, I plan to buy this game when it's released.

Don't believe it.

This game is seriously not what it is being represented here as lately. I have played through this twice with one game stopping glitch (which was fixed by a downloadable patch.)It is engaging. The graphics are clean and rounded off. The voice over acting is on par with most FPS games out there. And, of course your name is 'chaser'. That's part of the plot, after all. The name is meant to be ironic. Anyone who berates this nice piece of gaming obviously did not finish it. Yes, there are some difficult moments. particularly the sniping sequence that takes place inside of a warehouse-type building. Very hard to master. The plot is unbelievably good. And, when you get to the end, even if you've figured out the plot, it's an enjoyable ending sequence. This game has a very good length and better graphics, playability, physics, and AI then Jedi Knight : academy. What more can i say. I do not feel anyone who has a thirst for good First Person Shooters' will be unhappy with this game. Wait 'till you find out who you really are, Chaser. It'll blow your mind.

Great Shooter

Chaser is a great shooter without numerous flaws. It boasts good graphics, an engaging storyline and authentic weapons. All of those are true. The 1 player mode has 23 differnet levels and 73 different types of enemies to kill. The game also has online multiplyer capabilites. Different mods such as Counter-Strike, Shock Troopers, Deathmatch and Capture the flag are waiting to be played. I believe that there are about 15 differnt weapons, most with seconary fire modes. The only flaw in this game is that it was rushed, therefore there are a few glitches. There are a few walls that can be passed through, although it is harder to ge into them than it might seem. Also, very very few hacks are there. Some hacks allow you to fly (my favorite).

Chaser ranks fourth on my top ten favorite games

1) Quake 3 Arena
2) Quake 2
3) Half-Life
4) Chaser

Chaser has insanely large levels, TONS of weapons, great graphics, great gameplay (simple, but can be hard at times), some clipping errors, decent voice acting, detailed models, and TONS of replay. The levels are detailed and large and just fun to play. Me and my roomate went from playing doom 3 to quake 4 to Half-Life 2 and then to Chaser, and it wasnt a step down in any way! He is very picky, and he loved the large levels and the difficulty of play. Give it a shot! The CloakNT engine is very scalable (plays on most anything) and with everything up, looks good. I play with everything down (habit, dont ask) and its still good! Look for stuff from Cauldron, they are going in the right direction.

Chaser is one to "chase" after

I played the demo of this game and was impressed. the action is very realistic, the graphics look good, and it handles well. there is an array of weapons (that anybody could get used to) and multiple enemies to slaughter. hehehe.

The enemies in this game seem very realistic. The AI level must have been set very high when they created this game. this is not one of those games where you can just mess around hoping you wont die from several gunshots. you must stay behind cover as you mess around. you cant take that many bullets, and there are a mess of enemies, so it can difficult in some places.

The graphics to this game look absolutely fantastic. the glass surfaces are practically mirrors which makes it easy to locate enemy presence if there is a well placed piece of glass in a corner. the water also shimmers, however, when in the sewer the water remains shiny. now this is just my realistic side talking, but I dont think sewer water has much to shine about.anyway the graphics look like some of the best graphics i've ever seen.

the game had two glitches I can think of right off the bat. I found myself floating on several occasions, just suspended in the air, flooating for a few seconds, then falling to my death. the other one is not really a glitch, but a down side. the game has a perticularly large amount of cut-scenes. just when you think your about to die, a cut-scene cuts in and you are saved. those are just two problems i can think off the top of my head.

all in all, this game is a pretty good choice. its not a video-gaming revolution, but it's a nice addition to anyone's FPS collection.

Good, fun shooter..

Usually, I wind up playing these games first with the cheat codes, sort of walking my way through the whole game to see if there are any really good parts (I have a lot of games on my play list and it is the best way to get to all of them. I could'nt find any working codes for Chaser, but I really don't mind since the game does "play fair".

No super-boss levels, no endless armies of bad guys and you get to handle some serious firepower. The save system lets you stop the game and save any time (a KEY feature for shooters) and the story is very interesting.

I have not finished the game yet but I am glad that I did not rush through it.

good game!

Single player is very good thou you have to quick save alot to advance through the game. Multiplayer needs some patching for all the lag problems,but still is very fun when you dont get connection probs. Overall a pleasent surprise for a game bought just for something new to play til halflife 2 comes out.

not a bad game despite what other poeple may say

Yeah, people say that this borrows from other games, and this is true to a large extent. But I still found it rather fun and is a welcome releif from all the WWII and vietnam shooters I've ben playing. The music is half decent reminiscent of what you would listen to in an action movie film like a Steven Segal flick (I never did turn off the music like I do in some games). The game setting seems to be a mix of contemporary and city architecture. I think the reason why the levels can be so boring is because the game level designers seemed to be more of an architect trying to capture what a building should be instead of a game level designer. And we know that most buildings are rather boring in their layout in real life, hence the boring level designs. Still, the game looks good, and the weapons are quite fun to play with and is mostly stable (I got stuck in a few levels, and also found some glitches where enemies could fire through doors and barrels). The plot seems to be reminiscent of the movie "Total Recall". The caviets that I didn't like about the game is that you need an internet patch to run this on XP SP2 (too bad for those out there that don't have internet access), and also the fact that sometimes you got stuck and didn't know where to go and had to look at the on-line guide to figure something that doesn't seem to be intuitive.
