About

Players will take to the murky depths armed with a wrath of underwater equipment from specialized underwater suit with jet pack and integrated harpoon and other high tech equipment in pursuit of enemies. With the majority of the game play taking place below the water’s surface, action-adventure fans will need to master new skills to fight hostile enemies and infiltrate enemy bases.

When it comes down to it, there really isn't anything here to enjoy. It's a collection of repetitive gameplay, bland levels, a horrible story with forgettable characters, and a poor system of checkpoints that forces you to keep replaying sections of the already tedious levels. The overall experience is mind-numbing and frustrating, making it hard to play it for more than 30 minutes at a time without wanting to throw something or burn things.

Deep Black: Reloaded is guilty of a variety of smaller offenses, as well. Those minor issues feel more substantial than they might in another game because here they're complementing what is already exasperating core design. Examples range from a story that is told almost exclusively through dull exchanges of dialogue on radios, to chatty bullet fodder enemies who shout out phrases like "I'm changing a clip!" and "Let's flank him!" when Pierce is the only other person in the vicinity, to over-the-top screams of agony as goons finally fall in a hail of gunfire.

As previously discussed though, it's not completely horrible at first, just desperately uninspired. It is an independently produced title, so that has to be taken into account, but it's still demanding cash to play it, so that defence only holds for so long. If what you want in a game is to be vaguely bored for an hour or so, only to get increasingly frustrated the longer you persevere, this game's for you.

Det jag däremot kan konstatera är att Deep Black: Reloaded är ett trasigt spel på precis alla plan som inte förtjänar beröm på något annat plan än att det faktiskt implementerar en unik grundidé till spelmediet. Vem vet, undervattensaction kanske hade varit kul om det hade gjorts på rätt sätt. Deep Black är däremot ungefär lika roande som att drunkna.

Deep Black a tous les atours de la sous-production. La construction des niveaux est risible, les gunfights sont soporifiques, le comportement des ennemis montés sur patins est hallucinant et pour faire court on s'ennuie à mourir quand on est pas en train d'insulter son écran.

Het zure idee dat ondergetekende zijn tijd verspilde aan deze technisch zeer beperkte game, is al misselijkmakend. Maar liefst tien uur lang is het herhalen, herhalen, herhalen. Natuurlijk is het voor ontwikkelaar Biart met het beperkt productiebudget niet mogelijk om een game van het niveau Call of Duty of Battlefield te maken, maar dit resultaat is wel erg slap. Deep Black: Reloaded kost dan wel maar zo’n twee tientjes, maar dat is nog steeds teveel van het goede. Helaas is de potentie er niet uit gehaald en de multiplayer onspeelbaar. Niemand wil het doen!
