In the 21st century, humankind was freed from the confines
of the solar system through the discovery of an alien technology
known as Robotech. Contact with the stars also brought war
with the Invid, a race of parasitic aliens bent on conquering
and transforming the Earth into their new home world. Now
it is up to the battle hardened
survivors of the Robotech Expedition to lead the way for one
final attempt to liberate the Earth from the Invid Invaders...
Robotech Invasion
is a first person shooter (FPS) which sadly adds nothing to
the many other FPS already on the market.
The
introduction of the new armour system (which basically enables
you to transform your armour into a bike) comes in very handy
- not for defence though. It really comes into its own when
getting from A to B - mainly due to the fact that your character
seems unable to run anywhere. When you do move it is incredibly
slow. So, breaking out the bike is essential.
While
the low selling price is attractive, it certainly reflects
the finished game - you'd throw a wobbly if you'd shelled
out £35 for this.
On
the plus side: The gaming arena is huge and it's pretty easy
to get the hang of.
On
the down side: The voice acting is pretty poor, the music
is dull, the aliens are all too similar and the choice of
weapons is uninspiring.
In
all fairness Robotech Invasion isn't a bad game, it's
just that there are hundreds of FPS games out there already
and this offers nothing new.
