It's relatively fun in small doses, but Project Nomads doesn't live up to the potential that its unusual design suggests.
-
Achingly beautiful, eccentric combat in the clouds.
-
Any good feelings generated during the game's opening and initial sequence were quickly squashed by the game's numbing tedium... Looks great, no filling.
-
Repetitive and even tedious at times. Fundamentally, there's no gameplay depth whatsoever...Other than that, this title represents a refreshing boost of creativity to the gaming industry.
-
Has a great storyline and is set in an amazing world, but is only a typical RTS/FPS title.
-
An ambitious genre-bending title killed by one tedious mission after another.
-
Can be an entertaining, if quirky, diversion.

Computer Games MagazineThe canned plot does all the driving and you're just along for the dull weird ride. [Feb 2003, p.71]

PC GamerDefinitely an ambitious project, but unfortunately, it's only the floating-island concept and not the actual gameplay that will make it stick in the minds of gamers. [Feb 2003, p.80]
-
A brilliantly stylized but bland, linear, tedious, and sometimes even broken action title with many boring tasks that apparently need to be completed in as unexciting a manner as humanly possible.
-
Computer Gaming WorldAlthough it offers a mix of strategy, vehicle-based shooting, and third-person action, none of these elements surpass mediocrity due to the lukewarm gameplay. [Feb 2003, p.84]
-
Once your island is set up, you can tackle the missions. Well, tackle may be too strong of a word, trudge may be more correct.
-
It's rare that something that truly strives for originality, and even rarer that it succeeds with any degree of success. Project Nomads does so in spades. Bravo!
