This game is terrible. The sound is bad, the character models are graphically 5 years out of date, and the voice acting is bad even for a video game! Other than the bad models, the rest of the graphics are very nice (thanks to the Unreal 2 engine)but this doesn't save an otherwise sorry game.
Pay to Beta Test

I had high hopes for this game. It is a good idea with a very bad implementation. It is one of the buggiest shooters I've ever seen. You are basically paying to beta test this game. Even after the official retail patch, it still crashes and bullets never connect with opponents. If the store I bought it from would take the return of this game, I would return it. Don't be stuck like me. Skip it.
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.

I have rarely, if ever, played a first-person shooter this bug-ridden, and that's too bad since the actual gameplay, while it's nothing original, is pretty good (even if the plot is seriously lacking). But you can only find so much enjoyment from a game that kicks you to your desktop whenever it feels the urge, or forces you to endure horrendous scenery glitches. What could have been one of the year's sleeper hits in the genre is wounded by its own severe lack of polish, despite all its beautiful graphics, realistic physics, and its awesome assortment of weapons. Out of the box, "Devastation" is devastating, and you, as a gamer, should never have to pay to beta test. Wait for the next genre offering to come along instead - there are plenty looming on the horizon.
Multiplayer thingers...

There seem to be so many bugs in multiplayer, random items floating in the air, strips of ammo floating in the air, randomly moving an object that is no where near you, shooting a gun even though nothing is coming out (such as, you'll have reloaded your gun and then suddenly you can't shoot it anymore), let's see...team switches/scores are occasionally screwed up, sounds are poor, BUT, Graphics are pretty nice due to UT2, and it's an overall fun game even with so many bugs. However, I have noticed this game seems like 3 other games: Red Faction (the Antique Machine Gun, nOOb cannon, a real lamer weapon, as well as a lot of bugs, RF had so many bugs it isn't funny) Red Faction 2 (the style of gameplay) and Counter-Strike (the purchasing menu)...and one thing I don't like about it is the arrogant people that play it, and the way the game shows how somebody killed somebody else...still fun though :)
Really bad game, but fun.

This game is really bad, extremely buggy, and a complete rip-off of 3 games: Red Faction (bugs,"Antique Machine Gun", Red Faction 2 (everything can be duel, similar graphics), and Counter-Strike (purchasing system). The graphics are good, however, sounds of the guns/explosions are terrible, and the character body structure is too bulky. Don't buy Devastation unless you like amusing games that which are loaded with glitches and tile errors. And multiplayer isn't very good, either.
Overpriced and Buggy

This game is very buggy. I bought it and it is slow and the physics, while cool are pretty unrealistic. This should have been a budget title - it is not worth the $$$.
Devastation is a Devastation

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
A pretty fun game under the surcomstances

You get to pick up new weapons, use a mouse (the blows up), use guns (up to 50) and you get to blast the heck out of the people. The plot, trying to achieve something. Its actually quite fun, I like to blast them strait to hell with my laser gun. A GREAT GAME UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. This game isn't suitable for children under 13
