Mostly fun but needs some help

HM F.A.K.K.2 is well, sort of fun. Outside of the final scene, the most annoying bit in the game is the character, Julie's whiney preggers sister. No real point in her even being there, aside from giving Julie the opportunity to talk pseudo-tough about kicking some guy's butt. Stupid.

It's also a bit too easy to get killed in this game, so save often. Generally fun otherwise. Getting past the boss monsters isn't too bad except for the very last one. Even using "god mode" cheats, I found it impossible to get past the final boss, making it not as fun as it could have been. The thing I really didn't care for was being somewhat promised a follow-on that never actually happened. That was a bit of a cheat on the part of the designers. If you're going to produce a game, don't promise me it'll get better in the next episode, unless you're going to actually deliver.

The designers also didn't make use of many of the capabilities of the Q3 engine. The graphics and character were way more simplistic than they needed to be, based on that. I saw nothing special about texturing, no specular reflection, and the general female forms were apparently all designed to appeal to repressed, breast-fixated middle-school males, and more hinting from mocap should have been used.

The ancillary characters were in short, boring and mostly purposeless. The main enjoyment in the game was really in checking out the weaponry at first find (but again, the engine capabilities were underused), and exploring the environments.

Bugs, bugs, and more bugs

Nice graphics if you can get past all the bugs. The first time I sat down to play, everything went well. The second, third, etc., I had multiple problems. It would freeze up and nothing but a ctrl-alt-del would free me up. My PC by far surpasses the system requirements so I knew that wasn't the problem. Once down in the sewers, the characters turned completely black. Nothing but outlines. All the other graphics were fine. Tech support? Forget about it. My 8 year old daughter could have been more helpful. All they could tell me to do was just basic stuff anyone with some computer experience would have already tried. Sorry. Can't recommend it. I'd return it if I could. I love gaming, but this one I've thrown in the drawer. Pass on this puppy.

Great Game With Lots Of Fun In It.

I never cared for Heavy Metal before I knew about this game. You don't need to be a fan to enjoy this game. It is a 3rd person action/adventure with lots of fun, carnage, great plot, and amazing graphics. I definitely recommend this game. I got it today and I'm hooked! -Carlos Jr. aka JC Denton 8-19-00.

This game took a little tweaking to get it to work well. I had problems at first with stuttering video, sound and frame dropouts. I fixed the problem by lowering the sound acceleration one notch using 'dxdiag.exe'. This is somewhat irritating because other software only works with full sound acceleration. About the game itself, the graphics were very good. The method of steering and manipulating the character's movements, I considered awkward. I found most of the puzzles not to difficult but some are extremely frustrating because they require precise timing of movements by the character. Spending hours trying to get through an animation sequence became more of a dread than a entertaining experience. I have not finished the game and probably won't. Any software that makes the user want to slam the keyboard in frustration should be dumped in file 13.

I purchased this game in a package. It came with four other games in a set for ten dollars. When I saw that it was in there, I thought, oh, a game with a hot chick, thats a good change. I gladly purchased it and tried it out. To my surprise, the game sucked. At least it wasn't what I was used to playing. I like FPS's and the controls in this rpg/fps didn't cut it. Of course this game is fairly old, thats why it cam in this pack for ten bucks. If you have a computer that isn't up to date, sure I would recommend getting it, but otherwise, don't waste your time. This was just failed attempt to create a game with some extra skin involved. Good idea, needs some work.

Would be more fun with less bugs.

I enjoyed the game I far as I got, but I was unable to finish as every time I got past one section of the last chapter the game would crash. It was the most fustrating end to a game I have ever experienced.

Heavy Metal: FAKK 2 is a fantastic half of a game. I can only imagine what the experience might have been like had the developers taken it upon themselves to finish the rest of it. After all, you could make your way through FAKK 2 in a single sitting if you were patient enough. Add to this a slow beginning which has you running from place to place, chatting with boring NPCs, and fighting nothing but buzzing flies, and you might expect that the game isn't worth your time. However, you would be incorrect about that, because, after all, FAKK 2 won't take very much of your time, and that which it does consume will have you gleefully slaying all kinds of bizarre monsters in the name of justice... or whatever. (When you're playing a female warrior with a leather thong and slew of blood-letting weapons, you can guess that the story is a bit on the expendable side.) Combat is ferocious, gory, and addictive. In 2000, it was novel for a character to use two weapons at once (a sword in one hand and an uzi in the other, for example), and though many games have borrowed this concept since Heavy Metal's release, few do it so well. Once the action begins, it won't let loose of you until the end - which, again, comes far too soon. If FAKK 2 still wore a [...] pricetag, its brevity would make it hard to recommend. Now, at a budget price, however, it cries out to be played. The graphics may be aging, but they're still pretty, and the gameplay rocks. If you missed this one, do yourself a solid and grab a copy. It won't keep you busy for too long, but you'll have an enjoyable ride while it lasts.

A great 3rd person game.

With a great blend of action, puzzle solving, and architecture, FAKK2 is one great game. The level design is stunning, control simple and easy to learn. The interface is straight forward and the story is engaging. The game is good, but not perfect. At times I found my self getting stuck on walls or boxes, and the entire game seemed a bit short. With no multi-player the replay value is low. But if your looking for a new "Tomb Raider" style game, don't pass this one up.

A Tower of Fun

Beautfiul Quake 3 engine graphics. Intricate story played out through oodles of cut scenes and scripted events. Clever level design and secret areas (chalk one up to LEVELORD). A unique arsenal of moves that lets you scale walls, Tarzan-swing from rope to rope, follow narrow ledges by hugging walls, climb along overhead pipes, perform swordplay combos, etc.

Most of all the game is a BLAST to play! Any game that manages to be this much fun is #1 on my list.

The downside: You're going to need quite the beefy machine to benefit from all the eye candy, there's no multi-player, and the single player game is a little short.

This isn't enough to detract from a 5-star rating, though. FAKK2 rocks!
