I played Darkest when it firs came out. The graphics were shit, A.I was terrible, and it was hard to find where to go. But never the less it was and still is my favorite game. I give it a rating of 4/5 and the best mission is when your in a gulag.
just wanna thank you for this video series, and for not only including really old games, but ones from the last generation too, its nice to relive them in quick 5 to 10 minute segments, and not have to go dust off an old system and hunt down used games. thanks again!
I love your reviews mam. I've been looking for a good source of reviews for a while. You're layback about it and honest. No grudges or technical opinions. You just say it how it is and look at it with an open mind.
where do you get this game i cant seem to find it anywhere. gamestop dosnt have etc.... can someone please tell me where to find one where its actually in stock.
Forever last-gen here. The 6th and 7th gen were the last great console generations. Variety in the marketplace, not dependent on the indie space for good times.
do you know if the n american release of this game is region locked? because as yet there are no release plans for it in the UK , I dont think the developers have found a publisher , that sucks!
@Mrgyn the system requirements for the PC version are relitivly low for a recent game. if your pc can run source games at a reasonable frame rate then it should run this game well enough
I think what really makes this game unique is the theme of being transported back to the past, and fighting those war with modern automatic guns and stuff like that. In that sense, it would be better if players are allow to use moder weapon all of the time and make a difference. Once you have to use those old weapons, then it nullifies that unique aspect of the game. it becomes another COD title.
Despite this getting such a low rating, I STRONGLY suggest you guys give this game a shot. I admit it, the gameplay is horrible, and the storyline doesn't make any sence, but it's the setting that really gets me. There's no other game where I can participate in an enormous battle of Antietam with a musket rifle. People may complain, but I very much enjoyed the musket. The number of enemies on the field and the area you can cover really made this game fun.
Hopefully they will come out with a patch. Pretty awesome game. So does it have lots of re playability? Like you can view different endings, if you change history? That would be cool. Or is it some straight on shooter?
I enjoyed the Civil War level at the beginning of Call of Juarez Bound in Blood. I agree with HerrOttoKranz, I wish the major studios would leave modern conflict aside for a while, and focus on an unseen era of warfare. WW1 is so much more than just trench combat. You can have forest campaigns like in 'Lost Battalion', aerial battles, tunneling under enemy lines, Gallipoli beach landings, it would be great.
i absolutely adore this game, i mean there is no other game i can honestly think of that sets the player in 18th-19th century warfare using lines and lines of musket riflemen taking picks at eachother together with pockets of infantry doing several missions. I would reaaaallly want to see more games both historically correct and fun/different than cod like these!
That part during one of the WW1 where you have to defend the trenches with that futuristic missile launcher (at 5:29 in the vid) has got to be one of the best moments I have ever seen in an FPS.
After watching 2 reviews and playing through the demo more than once, i would have to say that if there are glitches, it is either exclusive to the 360, or not on the demo. The story was a bit cliche, i think they could have done better, but i enjoyed it. Just remember, i have only played the demo :)
looks like a really cool game, and the graphics and number of enemies on screen are pretty impressive for an FPS, but it looks like it has some fairly lackluster gameplay too, I guess someone would play this more for the concept and whatif feel than for solid gameplay though.
Thank you for the fair review of this game. I personally love this game I love being able to fight on the large scale battles of the civil war and ww1. I believe that they had a great idea with poor execution, but I hope some other company tries to do a great civil war or ww1 first person shooter. Thanks again for the review
"They're like super balls of future death." His review is spot on. The game is full of problems, yet I've felt it interesting enough to make me stick with it to the end. Especially since I've waited a really long time only to be a bit disappointed. Also while there are places that are very cool (like when you rescue yourself from the Nazi camp), there are also some parts that are just abysmal (when you go alone to blow up three Nazi bases) Weird.
I played the demo and I really like the concept! Although I think it would be much more interesting if they incorporated much more historical facts and information so that you could possibly learn things about history along the way. The dialogue and narrative was pretty daft too. Also I dont know if it was my computer but the Physx engine was horrible, even at highest Physx setting. Also AI is really bad....
Most people who fought for the Confederacy were not doing so for the sole purpose of maintaining slavery. In fact, I would imagine the majority of them were not slave owners. At the same time, the Union was not fighting to free the slaves. What it all boiled down to was succession.
They ask you not to interfere with time, and yet your first mission is to use this machine gun to turn the tide of the battle in Antenium, that's hillarious. Just enough reason to get this game regardless of how bad it is, that and getting an achievement for punching a horse out
As a history buff, I have to try this one out..
Yes, it sounds very interesting
Same I hope I don't have to use the machine gun
Micheleski Sniper you do in some levels
G Ryen same
This could have been one of the greatest games made. It was such a great concept, it's just that the production company needed more funding.
I never once experienced any bugs while playing this game, and I played it ALOT!!
Man, 1:10, Bradley Cooper must have been pretty desperate for roles back in 2009.
I played Darkest when it firs came out. The graphics were shit, A.I was terrible, and it was hard to find where to go. But never the less it was and still is my favorite game. I give it a rating of 4/5 and the best mission is when your in a gulag.
Yeah its one of those "so bad it's good" games
This game wasn't technically the best, but damn, the premise, mechanics, and batshit story made it such a gem.
This game looks cool in concept, but I'd rather play Singularity, Timeshift, or Quantum Break; much better time travel/sci-fi games.
and wolfenstein 2009
just wanna thank you for this video series, and for not only including really old games, but ones from the last generation too, its nice to relive them in quick 5 to 10 minute segments, and not have to go dust off an old system and hunt down used games. thanks again!
I wish this game was a available in the uk
tuliotony this game is dope
tuliotony isn't there a digital version?
You might still be able to play it on a pal system, depends if the game is region locked or not
I looked this title up on our local Craigslist and eBay but it seems to be very rare and hard to come by in Europe.
I played the hell out of this game, and loved it!
I love your reviews mam. I've been looking for a good source of reviews for a while. You're layback about it and honest. No grudges or technical opinions. You just say it how it is and look at it with an open mind.
Why is this game not backwards compatible?!
Because it’s ass
Because it's politically incorrect by today's standards. This is the actual reason.
where do you get this game i cant seem to find it anywhere. gamestop dosnt have etc.... can someone please tell me where to find one where its actually in stock.
is this comin out in the UK? and when?
Forever last-gen here.
The 6th and 7th gen were the last great console generations.
Variety in the marketplace, not dependent on the indie space for good times.

do you know if the n american release of this game is region locked? because as yet there are no release plans for it in the UK , I dont think the developers have found a publisher , that sucks!

@finlandorc like fallout 3 except bigger, and no real storyline. right?

ugh i so want this to come to the UK how do i import this game to england?
@Mrgyn
the system requirements for the PC version are relitivly low for a recent game. if your pc can run source games at a reasonable frame rate then it should run this game well enough
hey is it just my computer or are the graphics kinda bad on this game?

My game keeps freezing on the loading screen for the mission hide and seek :(
Are you saying it's not as glitchy?
Whats the intro music called.
why is x box going backwards with it's graphics?.
I think what really makes this game unique is the theme of being transported back to the past, and fighting those war with modern automatic guns and stuff like that. In that sense, it would be better if players are allow to use moder weapon all of the time and make a difference.
Once you have to use those old weapons, then it nullifies that unique aspect of the game. it becomes another COD title.
I think the soundtrack was my favorite part of this game , does anyone know where I can buy the soundtrack at?
is that suspose to be mustard gas at 3:09?
Despite this getting such a low rating, I STRONGLY suggest you guys give this game a shot.
I admit it, the gameplay is horrible, and the storyline doesn't make any sence, but it's the setting that really gets me.

whats it rated
Hopefully they will come out with a patch. Pretty awesome game. So does it have lots of re playability? Like you can view different endings, if you change history? That would be cool. Or is it some straight on shooter?
have they made wolfenstein?

@CamelBallZee do you mean you like them for war games and films or you actually like the wars
i dunno why but your voice made this review so much better IMO

I havent found this game anywhere in Canada yet
I enjoyed the Civil War level at the beginning of Call of Juarez Bound in Blood.

You can have forest campaigns like in 'Lost Battalion', aerial battles, tunneling under enemy lines, Gallipoli beach landings, it would be great.
this game may be bad but you're forgetting about ET on Atari and also that slumber party game from 90's. bad, very. worst, no.
i absolutely adore this game, i mean there is no other game i can honestly think of that sets the player in 18th-19th century warfare using lines and lines of musket riflemen taking picks at eachother together with pockets of infantry doing several missions. I would reaaaallly want to see more games both historically correct and fun/different than cod like these!
They do. Civil war: Secret Missions ( or its Secret missions: Civil war ) If you want higher quality, buy a gaming pc and play on high everything.
That part during one of the WW1 where you have to defend the trenches with that futuristic missile launcher (at 5:29 in the vid) has got to be one of the best moments I have ever seen in an FPS.
awesome, is there a PC version ?
should i get this game
Great to have someone who doesnt say how much the game sucks and show the good sites...i actually buyed and liked the game after seeing this
This is just Darkest of Days 2
After watching 2 reviews and playing through the demo more than once, i would have to say that if there are glitches, it is either exclusive to the 360, or not on the demo. The story was a bit cliche, i think they could have done better, but i enjoyed it.
Just remember, i have only played the demo :)
I really enjoyed this one.I had no bugs or glitches but it was just amazing.^^
More? They exist?
looks like a really cool game, and the graphics and number of enemies on screen are pretty impressive for an FPS, but it looks like it has some fairly lackluster gameplay too, I guess someone would play this more for the concept and whatif feel than for solid gameplay though.
Great review! Actually looks kinda fun!
Lol at the ending btw
is this for ps3?
Thank you for the fair review of this game. I personally love this game I love being able to fight on the large scale battles of the civil war and ww1. I believe that they had a great idea with poor execution, but I hope some other company tries to do a great civil war or ww1 first person shooter. Thanks again for the review
with mask u loking only on one eye?
This game fully realized wood have been great.
@finlandorc so red dead redemption?
"They're like super balls of future death."

Weird.
they can update games on the xbox 360 too dude
u get them if u sign into xbox live
It is. I got it off Steam for like 10 bucks. And the graphics are pretty good for when this game came out actually.
Is this game in thr uK
is there a ps3 copy?
Is this game free roam?
I like the way you make every game sound interesting.
I end up buying a lot of games I wouldn't buy normally...
;)
6:37 "Thank goodness you came just in time" TAKE THIS BRUH!
I played the demo and I really like the concept! Although I think it would be much more interesting if they incorporated much more historical facts and information so that you could possibly learn things about history along the way. The dialogue and narrative was pretty daft too.
Also I dont know if it was my computer but the Physx engine was horrible, even at highest Physx setting.

I am so getting this game. It's available on steam, and the screenshots seem to indicate you also will be saving people from an exploding volcano.
the civil war parts are pretty cool. also they gave it just blood, not blood and gore, but you can see blood and wounds on enemy soldiers
They ask you not to interfere with time, and yet your first mission is to use this machine gun to turn the tide of the battle in Antenium, that's hillarious. Just enough reason to get this game regardless of how bad it is, that and getting an achievement for punching a horse out
Where can u buy this cheap online cos it looks beast but I can only find it for like 40 quid can anyone help much thanks :)
Wouldnt bringing a machine gun to the civil war cause a time paradox?
