OK - firstly system specs, 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 1024Mb RAM, ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128Mb RAM.
AAAARGHHH!! Sorry but that old man - George Bray or who ever that old man is HAS to go! Totally out of place and doesn't make you feel like going any further - use some of the in-game graphics and a stirring sound track or something.
The game ran constantly at 30FPS very smoothly and my next thought was "cool Tron-like graphics". My tank moved far too slowly until I worked out the speed command. Hmm - too slow I think. Tanks are generally not the fastest mode of transport, but they should be faster - especially given the virtual environment and therefore need to be larger than life.
Unfortunately, the bad tearing totally ruined the effect for me - are you turning the vsync off? I can see the graphics being drawn up the screen - if that's intentional please turn it off!
The tank really takes some getting used too! But quite satisfying when you do - tanks are cool aren't they? Some suggestions here. Make the front of the tank more distinct from the back so when you spin around you don't go backwards when you thought you were going to move forward!
The gun turret spins slowly but the whole tank spins very quickly - shouldn't that be the other way round? Certainly slow the rate the main body of the tank spins - especially when you consider my previous point. Also, when you stop moving the turret should stop spinning gradually under momentum - but quite quickly (without having to jab the right mouse button).
Having had a few goes at the training mission - destroying the tanks etc - now yer talking. I went to the demo level and er, what are you supposed to do? Picked up an upgrade that appeared on the radar - but no mission instructions appeared - got bored and quit. A demo has to try harder than the full game in a way to get you hooked quickly - or it gets uninstalled.
All-in all this could be something special, despite some of my comments - just needs a few gameplay improvements. :-)
