This game isn't too great. I only bought it to get the microphone, which costs three times as much on its own.

good

Think of AFO's no frills offline components as more of a practice tutorial for the real battle online,and you may have an easier time justifying your purchase.In eight player deathmatch,the battles can get pretty fierce.It's just too bad the gameplay isn't all that spectacular.With all the revolutionary stuff going on especially the voice chat in AFO,the game still falls short of greatness.Plus,i don't think i'm nitpicking when i say that with the popularity of the DC dropping by the day,the omission of a split screen multiplayer mode is awfully shorsighted.The fortress and CTF modes help its longevity,but there's just not much here to keep me coming back.

This game rocks!

I really loved this game! The graphics are amazing, except for the little people, but who cares anyway? Who ever reads this review has to buy the game. What I was amazed about was that the game doesn't get so boring so fast. I Love the game! You will too!

Not for adults!

Expect to be killed every 30 seconds because the tanks are very slow. This game is only for the kids. An adult will find it to be very frustrating.

There is no real strategy involved. You either blow the enemy up, or get yourself blown up. The cumpter controled characters are pretty good at finding you, so trying to hid is futile!

Don't fall in love with the fact that you can fight as an alien. There are only 3 alien vechiles, and their weaponry is basicly the same. The only differenes is how fast the vechicles are able to drive.

If you want a sega game that is like a PC shooter, then get Spawn instead.

What a great game

AFO is one fun game. At first, I was afraid that it was going to be too hard because I heard it was like Q3 type playing, although similar, it is not Q3esque playing. Unlike Q3, the guns cannot be aimed on a vertical plane, which means, when you are trying to stear, you will not point up in the sky.

Also, the microphone works great. As long as everybody talks loud enough, you can understand everything clearly. Its easier than typing, and quiker, and you don't have to stop playing to do it.

The servers were amazingly fast. I played the game online, of course, and did not notice any lag what-so-ever. This could be becuase the game has only been out for 1 day, so not too many people have it, but it still worked great. The only gripe I had with online play is that it does not let you choose the 2nd dial-up account, its default is the first dail-up account. So you can't choose a differant one like you can in nfl2k1 and Q3.

AFO is veddy, veddy good, sir...

There's lots to like about this game: Play as either side in a "War of the Worlds", "ID4" aliens vs humans vehicle based action game. The graphics are great. I love all the little touches like destructable backgrounds, army men running around to be squashed, killer sub-weapons (who doesn't want to launch a tactical nuke at a bunch of alien scum?) Add network play that works pretty well over the Dreamcast's pokey modem and you will have fun blowing schtuff up. The icing on the cake is the included microphone and in-game voice chat so you can strategize with your team mates or talk smack to your opponents. All this ...??? I'll take 2 and save a mint one for the collectors in a few years. This'll go down as a great sleeper for Sega. ...

Rock and a hard place

This is a great little game, nice graphics, good sound and nice simple addictive gameplay. A warning though, when playing this game single player you wwill be confronted with the toughest game you will ever experience, some of the later missions are nigh on impossible and if you somehow manage to complete it your a better man than me.

A telegame

Man what a title... an online game(wahoo) with voice chat... how great can that be? Man can u imagine talking to your friends via Dreamcall? this is like getting a phone and much much more... a great port of a good arcade game. The arcade version had a link between two arcade consoles... so i couldnt try the voice chat there...but if its anything like dreamcall itll be fantastic... great controls in this tank/scifi shoot em up' generic...also check out the graphics... 2 words... 2 sweet. If this title plays like it did in the arcade... we're in 4 a real thriller.

Outstanding!

This is one great game! There are numerous positive points, too many to list here. On the negative side I would have to say that the graphics are fair, not exceptional. The explosions could have been done a little better. The backgrounds (buildings and such) were moderate. However I can live with the graphics because the gameplay doesn't suffer in any way. There are only 6 different terrains to play on and they get old very quickly. Other than that, this game is fantastic. The voice chat is great too. I would reccomend this game to anyone who likes fast paced action games.
