The type of game that you know you should find fault with, because the enemy is not real bright, but it is so much fun to go through the levels, solving the puzzles and completing your objectives while liquidating all opposition.
The game holds the bar for quality. For 2003, the graphics and sound are excellent. The gameplay is amazing, the weapons are diverse, the environment is well-designed. The game keeps pace well and does not let you get bored, the balance of action and calm is observed. Yes, and with no complicated manipulations, the game works in 1080p with a good rendering range. In the aggregate of these points I am making such an assessment.
Singleplayer is nice. You may die on normal if you play it first time, but after time hardest will be not enough! But not SP is what I want to tell you about.
Multiplayer is AMAZING! Yes, last days there are not many cool inspiring guys online, but you surely sooner or later find some friends among them! This is the best MP FPS I ever played.
Objectively: guns are VERY balanced. If you have a skill in FPS you can take a pistol and make a massacre all over server! Of course you can always take 14mm automatic rifle and be a bad guy with a big gun
It won't pose much of a challenge due to deficiencies in the artificial intelligence, and there isn't too much replay value to be found in the game either.
Despite offering plenty of gameplay, it lacks depth and more importantly, soul. Chrome is a fun game, but doesn't do anything that some other game has done before it, and done it better at that.
While the idea of creating a more "realistic" sci-fi shooter is a good one, Chrome never rises above some bad design decisions and an overall lack of polish... The next mediocre shooter. [Jan 2004, p.115]
Chrome has beautiful graphics and flawless controls. Very motivating FPS with an interesting story and cool open world feeling. Some mechanics feel a bit bloaty and it´s pretty difficult. A good game full of ingenuity!
Graphics are dated, but good enough, espcially for a $5 (or less) game. A decent storyline that gives you a long enough quest chain to make you feel like you got your worth. Variety of weaponry isn't somewhat basic, but the amount able to be carried allows for enough diversity to be carried. Also the stealth feature and vehicle driving are well done too.
Overall a solid 7.
I never thought I'd see a game make shooting bad guys completely unfun. But then came Chrome. Here's a rundown of my first twenty or so attempts to beat the first mission on normal difficulty.
(First time): got killed by the second group of enemies I ran into. Dying is very easy due to high enemy accuracy and a crappy, slow healing meachanic.
(Second time): mission was cancelled by my prima donna commander, who won't progress unless I'm holding his hand.
(Third time): killed commander as revenge for cancelling the mission. (Fourth time): commander died because a million guys rushed his position, and I could only kill all but two of them. Good to know he can handle himself in a fight.
(Fifth - twentieth times): repeats of one of the first four. You're not allowed to do your own thing at any point in this sequence, even if it means completing the mission faster or more safely. You have to follow Commander Uptight's orders or he'll cancel the mission. And when that means staying in a tower with limited ammo and no way of switching to a different weapon or restocking when you're out, your options are die from disobedience or die from letting your commander eat it.
The gameplay itself is decent enough. I dislike the way my bullets, even when very carefully aimed, seem to whiz right past my enemies. I also dislike the fact that my enemies are bullet sponges with Olympic marksmanship skills. The worst part is definitely the commander and his ridiculous "orders", though. When a game literally kills you and makes you start the whole level over (no saves or checkpoints) for not playing it the way it wants to be played, it's not really a game so much as an electronic to-do list, and that is most certainly not my idea of fun.
I gave it one last chance, and I died from friendly fire. Yeah, this game's putrid. Don't bother with it.
