Something reminds the player in this total
conversion of the ambience of Malice. A villain has succeeded in cloning
the X-Men, so that they defeat the majority of their opponents. One
starts in the center of the X-Men which is empty. One can enter the
command area, libraries and something more. As typical with Quake, one
finds doors or entrances to the different degrees of difficulty. When
one hops through the tele-port, the real game begins. The opponents
are better animated than in Shrak, but worse than with Malice and also
do not look completely so good. Animation of your own weapons, especially
with the new ones is well done though. Your character will have totally
new ones, morphed into a new appearance. The shooting effects are similarly
orginal. A shotgun, MG, super-mg and more including a flamethrower are
also included. If you holds on to an opponent you can see the glowing
skeleton underneath which looks quite cool. And whoever does not want
to see it, can just shoot everything out of the way... I have played
only the 1 level demo, for approx. 20 minutes which wasn't much. The
full version promises 18 further levels. This started out as a Quake
fan-mod and when Marvel itself got wind of this project, instead of nixing
it they decided to give the mod team a way to make a full commercial
Quake expansion pack. This was made freeware on Sep 22/2005. |
