It sucks that this game did so poorly, because it is great! The single-player game could go in the garbage - but the multiplayer is probably the best I ever experienced. I played a multiplayer demo of it back when it first came out and that was all I played for a good long time. The weapon selection, the balance map design and gameplay were awesome.

Unfortunately no one plays this game anymore so there are no MP servers to connect to. What a missed opportunity.

action packed first shooter. Keeps you busy and the story line is good. I would buy part two in a second.

a must buy for a budget title

If you're a fan of the Unreal engine and love realistic damage, weapons, and teamplay combat, this is for you. Almost everything is movable or explosive. Ragdoll physics is always a plus ;-) The graphics are about 2001'ish (so no problems with compatability) but is VERY detailed. Also, this game is EXTREMELY challenging (so this game might not be for everyone hence teamplay and flanking/outsmarting your enemies play an important role) so you will be forced to save almost after every firefight. It would have helped alot to have hotkeys instead of a non-pause pulldown order menu for your teammates, because firefights can end quickly in your death or a buddies, if you're not fast enough to give orders at the right times. Also, you know on alot of first person shooters how you can see only an arm or a leg sticking out of cover that you can shoot at? Well the A.I can do the same to you which is a pain in the butt sometimes being a very quick and cheap death. Overall, this should be in everyones cheap FPS library, and if not, you're missing out on a wonderfully put together game (with the patch)

Could be better.

(First, I`m Chilean, if my english is bad...well sorry), This game, is really good, you can use 2 guns, 2 machineguns, and the sound is incredible, but. The game is too stupid, the teammates are not the smartest dude on earth, but in 80% of FPS the teammates are bot`s, this game, but it if you don`t have a lot of money or you want to try something new. (New and pretty good.)

GREAT CONCEPT, TERRIBLE EXECUTION

First of all, forget what anyone else says. This is a terrible game. The enemies and squadmates are total idiots! The graphics look terrible.

Devastation is your basic run of the mill fps... the graphic are good but could be a bit more polished. and the game could get a decent score but the ai has many problems. many. the enemy ai is insulting the ai will do dumb thing like... wait for you to reload behind a corner...Guard corners...and my favorite walk right into you crosshairs. and you have team mebers to "help you" the game htat could be a decent run and gun now is an escort mission. the ai the enemy are grace with is also in your teammates. if your teamate dies you have to do the mission over again and you do that alot because your team is sucidel. save your money and buy another fps like unreal

This game will blow you away

AS you have heard there are alot of bugs. But with the realease of many new patches the game is becoming alot more stable. THe graphics are top notch, you can add your own music and the online is alot of fun. Buy this game it is only 15 dollars. Its worth it the plot is cool and so is the whole atmosphere. I hope they come out with xpack. That cleans all bugs and what not. So far the patches are keeping me happy

Victoria's Militia

I was a bit wary of buying this game because of the negative reviews. But I had just bought a new computer with a good graphics card, and I had heard that this game "looks good." It was also very cheap. I'm a pretty harsh critic of games in general, and I have a very low tolerance for buggy software. I have not yet played this all the way through, but so far (after several hours of play) I am finding it fun, with pretty good graphics, and I have not encountered any bugs at all.

The story is ok if sometimes a bit dopey. In the future, the world is controlled by the evil "Grathius Corporation," sort of a hybrid between Microsoft and Genentech. Naturally, you are the leader of the freedom fighters, a band of rebels that seems to be composed mainly of young heavily armed women wearing miniskirts and lingerie. It's not quite Victoria's Secret with guns but it is close in a couple of places.

I think that one secret to success with this game is to get the latest patch. A lot of the earlier reviews mention bugginess and poor AI. With the 390 patch, I have not encountered any bugs, and I would say the AI behavior is acceptable if not spectacular. Your enemies will retreat when they have been hit, use cover, fire down on you from above, etc. They become tougher and more intelligent the farther you go in the game.

The reason that I give this game 4 stars instead of 5 is that the gameplay is entirely linear. First you do A, then you do B, then you do C. There is no flexibility about accomplishing the tasks. In addition, you have a "GPS" that always points you toward your next objective. The combination of the linear game play and the GPS sometimes creates a feeling that you are trapped in a maze with not much control of what is happening. Had the game been designed with more flexibility, it would be truly awesome. As it is, it is an entertaining FPS with a generally satisfying assortment of weapons, teammates, explosives, and missions.

Outstanding sleeper w/a few bugs...

Engaging, reasonably good graphics , decent ai , but real gaming goodness. Nice team playing setup relies a lot on others helping you survive. A simple patch updates most problems nicely. I don't see why this is getting trashed here. The only thing i really agree with is that the character models are a little too large, for the rest of the background scenery, too fit in comfortably. Other than that, i am glad i bought this. And, i paid thirty bucks for it too! You guys are getting off way cheaper. This is a pretty long game. I played about 16 hours. At the price amazon is asking, there's no good reason a real FPS fan shouldn't get this right away! Before it goes away.
