    Though it sets up nicely with a strong storyline, it really just becomes another mission-based shooter game.

    What hurts this game more than anything else, is that it could have been so much better.

    Iron Storm does look and feel dated because of the graphics, and because of the type of gamplay that is offered. While it does feel like a complete game, and while I did feel satisfied playing it, it left me felling like the storyline should have been done justice.
  5. GameSpot

    Its story doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and it's sometimes frustratingly difficult, but Iron Storm is a reasonably successful action game, which is what counts.
  6. Adrenaline Vault
    60
    The challenging AI and consistently grim atmosphere will draw many players into the missions, but less than clear objectives will deter others.
  7. Gamers' Temple

    An interesting premise, but dismal AI and frustrating trial and error gameplay ultimately weigh this title down.
  8. GameSpy

    Fail[s] to live up to its potential. What's left is simply a frustrating and tedious single-player game.
  9. Computer Gaming World

    Isn't as bad as getting trench foot or being castrated by shrapnel, but it's still so full of tedium and frustration that paying for the game is pretty much an act of self-flagellation. [Feb 2003, p.98]

    Iron Storm has its own versin of the "what if" game: what if WWI had never ended? Unfortunately, it may leave you wondering, "What if I was playing a game that was more fun?" [Feb 2003, p.80]

Wait until they fix the install-stopping, game-stopping, gameplay-stopping bugs before considering this as your next purchase.… Full Review »

    Mouais bah encore un FPS bien ! vraiment bien... nul à chier ! réalisé par une bande d'amateurs, de stagiaires ou d'imbéciles. Ou les trois àMouais bah encore un FPS bien ! vraiment bien... nul à chier ! réalisé par une bande d'amateurs, de stagiaires ou d'imbéciles. Ou les trois à la fois : des stagiaires amateurs imbéciles (bonjour les dégâts, mon adjudant... putain, on a retrouvé la 7ème con-pagnie !). Déjà , rien que le début du jeu, tu sais pas où aller, pas de carte, pas d'indication, rien, nada, que dalle...! et donc soit c'est un bug (parmi d'autres), soit c'est si mal fait que ça revient au même...

    Un FPS uchronique bricolé avec le fion, plutôt bien... moche donc mais qui tourne néanmoins sur Win 7, du moment qu'on lui impose pas le 1080 mais des résolutions intermédiaires... Tout cela est de toute façon fort peu inspiré... et ça manque également de goût, de bon goût, alors allez vous acheter du bon goût, **** développeurs à la petite semaine ! et apprenez à faire un jeu... parce que là, non mais franchement... quelle merde !    … Full Review »

O jogo que além de boa jogabilidade, ter uma história real e feita por uma equipe de desenvolvedores de qualidade é fantástico. Mas poderia sim ter mais pontos explicativos, em que vários momentos, o jogador fica em situações que não sabe o que fazer, ou onde deve ir... prejudicando muito a gameplay e diversão. Mas com certeza um ótimo FPS e pretendo jogar de novo.… Full Review »
