G-NOME is a great unique game to play if you are looking to try new things. The game istelf is both a first-person shooter and a mech simulation. First I'll say something about the graphics, well they aren't the best, but then again, what do you expect from a 1996 video game. The sounds doesn't exactly work right and there is no detectable music. The game is really in need of a patch. There are no videos that work, not even the credits, except the Union Intelligence Agency thing logo that loads up. Alright now lets get on to the game itself. Being a multiplayer gamer, I never really finished the single player campaign (that plus I couldn't), the mission objectives are often unclear and its almost as if 7th Level tried making the game impossible. However after about 50 times trying a mission, you finally get it. Your ai allies are pretty stupid and can hardly hold their own in a fight. Often the only way to be a mission, is by pure strategy, going in guns ablazing doesn't quite work. Next I'll review the multiplayer, they put a lot of work into this it seems, it even has MPlayer support, the only problem is MPlayer cancelled support for the game (well that and MPlayer doesn't exist any more). However you can still play via TCP/IP if you know the server's IP address (or via IPX, serial, and modem). Trivia is played on the server before the game starts, however I don't know how to answer the questions, and they are very hard questions (sometimes). One need not worry, there is a option for AI play if you don't have enough players in a multiplayer game, or would like to try skirmish. There are 3 game types (can't think of their names off the top of my head, sorry) and 2 game options (deathmatch and cooperative). This game is definatly worth giving a shot, it's fun and addictive, I know my review may sound negative, but thats just because it is in serious need of a patch, it's like 7th Level got half way through making it and said "screw it, our company will merger with Pulse Entertainment next year and form P7 Solutions anyway" (which actually did happen).
G-Nome came and went in 1997 never being noticed by many. While I admit that the game could have been better, it is still pretty well done and unique. The graphics are a mix. The mountains warp slightly and the ground... Read Full Review
The game G Nome is great. I don't even see a problem with it. In 1997, this game hit the stores and I got this with my 95 and got used to it very well in just 3 months. There are some flaws though: the first one is that ... Read Full Review
