A bit short, but certainly the best game of it's genre for it's time. Even the intro movie gives you goosebumps!
-The story- You are abducted by some weird professor, brought to a base on some rocky plannet. When you are awake your looking at the ceiling of a surgery room. And the docter starts cutting things open and you see blood spattering all over the place. Once you wake up the adventure begins..... What happend?.....What have i become?....what am i doing here? But most importantly.... How do i get off this damned rock?
-The Graphics-
The graphics where just amazing for it's time, your looking at a fixed part of a room (most time multiple camera angles that engage depending on where your standing). The characters are fully 3D, wich also was pretty uncommon these days.
-gameplay-
The controlls are a bit hard to handle at first, but soon you get the hang of it. The game is pretty easy puzzles, but if your realy stuck you can always read some logs you'll find on your way. Sometimes you have to read them in ordor to obtain information. The combat system was realy innovative, you could use the numpad for all rifferent kinds of kicks. In combination with moving sideways, back and forward you can do a wholo lot of different moves. Back flips, spin kicks, head bashers, etc. Also you are able to pick up weapons and bash the hell out of your enemies. Later you get laser guns, but not mutch ammo so you need to keep using the combat system once in a while. Like a lot of oldschool games.... dead means dead... however, you can save, and you will need it a lot. You only can recharge health a couple of times in the game. Altough the game is linear it does have some replayabilety.
-overal-
If Origin Systems did there marketing well it would have been more popular. Bioforge is a great game and i bet you will still like it.
