    Ostensibly a real-time strategy title, Future Tactics is really a glorified game of hide-and-seek: You either fall into your enemy's sights or manage to luck out for another turn. [July 2004, p.94]

    There are plenty of ideas in this game that can be fostered into something that is not only cool and innovative, but contains great gameplay. As for now, there won't be many people who'll have the patience to deal with this game.

    Given its derivative premise and simplistic styling, Future Tactics was never going to do great things. Even so, the execution is awkward and lumbering, and falls short even of the limited vision.

First off, to attack an enemy, you have to go into an atrocious aim mode that's about as accurate as a headline for fox news written by their janitor while high on lsd,crack, and pcp at the same time. The environments look okay for the time but the character faces were awful a few hours in people don't move their lips while talking. the movement is okay but this is where its gets horrible, the progression system. In each level in the environment are hidden things that power up your characters you have to randomly shoot to find them. THESE ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT LEVEL YOU UP! IF YOU DO NOT FIND THEM, YOU WILL BE HOPELESSLY OUTGUNNED BY LEVEL 3! The story is pitiful and the dialog is painful. Do not play unless you want to put yourself through a few hours of woe and suffering through the form of electronic media.… Full Review »

The game is quite primitive even compared to its aging peers, and it sure seems a lot of development time was not put into the game. For one, it's a cd based game released in 2004 this sends the immediate tone it is behind the times. You can look on the back of the ps2 box and see the screenshots showing y and z buttons which is the gamecubes controls. (Seriously can't even find time to take a few photos of correct console gameplay that's a pretty obvious indication the game was shortcutted). Further to that, the options are very basic and I was very disappointing the game is presented with inverse camera controls for the vertical axis making gameplay very difficult unless this was your first game ever. Anyway on to gameplayits aturn based game they call tactical but really it's pretty basic but I can give it that. Some reviewers say this is an early version of xcom or Valkyria chronicles. I find the comparison may hold a minute fraction of truth about as much as one can claim uno is an early version of magic the gathering. All in all I say avoid maybe at launch time thx cold have been interesting but fast forward to today I can't see reason to invest in this game unless you are in the age range I recommended. I may be being harsh because this game does have some fans but honestly with such an extensive ps2 library I can't see the point of this one and it's accompanying quality unless you are a complete match to the age bracket and specifically looking for such a game. Props to a bit of originality I can give it that but all the shortcuts in development ruined my interest in the game extremely quickly.… Full Review »
