An amusing tactical action adventure game with a big variety of weapons in 16 good looking very well designed levels.
He is now operating some kind of one man mercenary/headhunting
service,currently working for a Mafia boss tracing a deadly chemicals
called OldZero which the bad guys want to make evil use of it.
Mcaffrey follows their traces all around especially in south America,
in 16 good looking interesting and very well designed levels,
which makes the player eager to see how the next level looks like.
unlike many similar game who just draw a handful
object und put them in every level,the levels has been designed in affectionate full detail creating a conceivable Atmosphere.
There is also a big variety of weapons you can either buy from
a shop in the city,find it in enemy territories or from the enemies you have eliminated. unlike many other games which they are different Models but thefunction is always the same,every single weapon
practically functions in a totally different manner and is aimed for a specific Mission.
Although ColdZero is quite interesting to play, there are some issues which
really disturbs the player. For example once you heard the briefing for the coming mission, there is no way to go back to it again. or you don't know what kind of place you are heading to(or you have forgotten)in order to take the appropriate equipments,clothing,etc.
Although there is not much talking in this game, the voice acting is not
good.(I have played the German version, maybe the English one is better).
The camera is not so good either, each time you load,you don't get a view
of your main figure! you see rooftops, walls trees etc and you have to move
the angel to find your hero!
ColdZero reminds me a lot of Desperadoes in many ways, although the plot
is different and the story is a modern day drug dealing.
The protagonist in Desperados was much more believable and real,
comparing to the one in CZ which is more or less like just a computer
generated animation figure.
ColdZero is a rather hard game and should be played by experienced gamers.
I personaly learned how it should be played, when I was almost at the end! But all in all I do recommend ColdZero, this is a game which can certainly
satisfy a variety of different tastes RPG fans, A/A fans, Tactic shooters
etc.
