To survive in battle, you will learn to take quick readings and keep moving. There is a real sense of accomplishment when you start to get the hang of it. Like the 3D shooters, there are the vital statistics on your health and armaments. Keep an eye on both. Remember, run away and live to fight another day. Any and all controls can be changed. I found the default settings not to my liking, but I have a friend who suggested a combination of keyboard and mouse settings that worked pretty well for me.
I am not that good yet, but even playing poorly in this game is fun. You also get to configure what type of suit you will use and what weapons you want on it. Each suit has different jump jet capabilities and armor classes. This allows the less experienced player to use a less agile arrangement with heavier armor; if you are not yet adept at controlling your movement, this will help you to survive slugging it out.
As you practice your moves, you will find what works for you and you will move to less armor and more movement. As you get better you find that using the lighter armor, which has more maneuvering capabilities, will pay off once you can move around the playing field. This takes more skill but does pay off with the increased agility and speed.
The look of the game is going to depend heavily on your video card. Outwars can show off your expensive video card. In this game, more is better; the graphics are still okay with a lesser video card but this is a must-see with a good quality 4 MB card, or better yet 8 or 12 MB.
It is not required, but the bit graphics are very nice. It does not require 3D graphics support, but if you do have such a card you will be rewarded with a visual smorgasbord. The graphics can distract you at first since there is so much to look at; you can sometimes forget you are under fire. With each mission, you have the help of navigation points to help you find the goal. The sound was great. The only drawback I could find in the sound was in the mission briefings. I wanted a lot more detail in the video clips and mission briefings.
Since this is already on a two-CD set there was probably not enough room for more robust video and audio clips, but I still wanted more. Outwars is a game stuck on the horns of a dilemma: The very things that make it unique and interesting are also the source of some of its most frustrating aspects. The setup for Outwars is part Starship Troopers, part Aliens. At an unspecified time in the future, an alien race has begun ravaging several of Earth's colonial outposts.
As a member of the Colonial Defense Force's Marine Jump Corps, you've been assigned the task of putting an end to the raids - but as the game opens, your intensive training on how to use the Jump Corps' standard-issue jetpack becomes a baptism by fire when alien ships arrive and start dropping an invasion force right in the CDF's own back yard. Yep, they're bugs all right - extremely big bugs armed with some pretty strange weapons.
But you've got some big-league firepower at your disposal, too - everything from pulse rifles and Gauss cannons to flamethrowers, guided and unguided missiles, and several types of mines. And because many of the bugs can't fire upward, your jetpack can help you maneuver past enemy concentrations and launch attacks from new directions or reach the relative safety of a plateau.
And a newly discovered "glider wing" technology lets you fly for nearly unlimited amounts of time though I'm not sure what's so futuristic about something that's little more than a hang glider At first glance, Outwars seems to have all the requisite ingredients for a first-rate action game. You get to choose what type of combat suit you'll wear, and the weapons loadout is up to you as well. There's a good variety of mission types here, ranging from full-scale attacks to desperate evacuations requiring you to hold off hordes of bugs with only a teammate or two to assist you.
The Direct3D terrain graphics are nicely rendered, and the animation is impressively smooth even on a lower-end machine until you get four or five bugs simultaneously onscreen, that is. Without the jetpacks, Outwars would be just another run-and-gun shooter - but it's the jetpacks that can cause a lot of frustration, especially at the start of the game. Yes, it's great being able to use the jetpack to avoid enemy fire and find your way to those hard-to-reach spots, and it's also a treat to deal death from above during a hot firefight.
But instead of letting the jetpack complement gameplay, the designers made it the focal point of the action - and the result is that intense combat is too often replaced with platform hopping.
