Finally a Boiling Point review by one of the big boys

Gamespot Reviews Boiling Point: 7.0


a good and fair review ...if you've been on the fence about this game I urge you to read the review ...it's a fun game and we need to support underdog developers who have more ambitious ideas for fps than just pretty graphics on top of the same tired gameplay

Boiling point had more LoL moments for me than any game in the last year (some were even intentional )

Awesome. I totally forgot about my Boiling Point after getting GTA SA. I'll probs get back to it after i finish GTA

 

[Shamrock]

What is the point of this game? Looks very odd..

 

[CptStern]

find your daughter, how you accomplish it is up to you

 

[Icarusintel]

maybe after some more patches i'll buy it

 

[Razor]

The review basically says that it's a shit game with a good concept, is that correct?

 

[CptStern]

no ..it says it's a buggy game with a good concept

 

[StardogChampion]

Another big boy rating from Edge magazine: 2/10

lol, omg 2, i didnt think it was that bad.

on the gs review, yeah i read it earlier, their review seemed spot-on, good concept but buggy/flawed in actuality, the last paragraph summed it up well, could be 1 of the fps's of 2005 with a few patches.

Overall, Boiling Point is a great concept executed poorly. But if Deep Shadows puts some serious work into the upcoming patches (according to the company's Web site, version 2.0 is already in the works), this work-in-progress could evolve into one of the best shooters of 2005 and could become a real inspiration for shooter designers in the future

Boiling Point, like Communism, is a great concept. But it'll never work.

 

[Vigilante]

GameSpot also said that it could turn out to be one of the years best shooters once the patches fix all of the bugs.

 

[Sparta]

I think the Eurogamer review summed it nicely. You'll either love (9/10) or loathe it (3/10). This obviously seems to be the case.

 

[Venmoch]

I'm despirately trying to like it, but the combat feels iffy and dodgy. Which is the main reason I don't like it that much.

 

[Warbie]

Not very promising reviews. At best Boiling Point sounds pretty average .... and why play an average game when there's so many great ones about?

 

[CptStern]

no the game is unlike any game out there ..it's the overall bugs that bring the score down ..the gameplay is fun, the bugs arent

I've seen patches being released, have they fixed anything? I want to get this game but I am holding off until it's not as buggy. I know I wouldn't be able to tolerate the bugs since I have a short fuse when it comes to shit like that.
