Review Ryse: Son of Rome

The projects of the starting lines consoles can not be taken seriously.As a rule, second-class games that hastily collected almost to the knee, to somehow motivate the players to purchase a brand new game system. The same could be said about Ryse, if not to take into account the fact that the game was originally designed for Xbox 360.

Like all games from Crytek, Ryse somehow tries to seem anything more than is actually.Swing on the interesting story is not at all countered logic and mediocre performances by the cast. Promised fun gameplay and remained in the press releases.Not only changed the schedule that, in general, is not surprising for Crytek. And in general, why just about the shortcomings, let's discuss the merits of the project.


In graphic terms Ryse looks great. Roman swords gleaming in the morning sun, cut through the crown of lush trees, and armor are visible even tiny rivets and seams.Barbaric axes covered gore, and fur capes can be seen every hairs. What is striking is the zeal with which the designers came to his work. All locations are full of detail and polish, even those that Mari will not stay longer than 20 seconds.

Stunningly detailed and huge cities and picturesque landscapes - Ryse demonstrates that the new generation of consoles a little worse doroguschih gaming computers. And this is only one of the first games. What will happen in six or seven years?

For the first fifteen minutes Marius Titus covers himself liters of blood enemy and literally carpets the way his decapitated and dismembered corpses. It seems that if the game looks cool already at the beginning, what will happen then? Nothing.


The fact that all of their good sides Ryse shows the very beginning. Not a bad fighting system, based on the good response the player to practice turns into the next contest on how long you can peck the same buttons on the controller before you begin to twitch his eyes.

Yes, there is a blocks, rolls and counter-attacks, but they are of little avail, as the enemies behave always the same - see shout (or offer to rip the belly), and start running towards the backhandSwing your sword (ax, cudgel). In two or three skirmishes with smelly barbarians can collapse on the couch and playing with his toes, still you have no surprise.Though enemies will make thicker again to pick up the controller, but only because my toes get tired faster, and beat these people need a little longer.


Even seemingly spectacular finishing first with amputation and winding guts to turn the sword into another sequence of repetitive actions.With each killed enemy you less and less want to do bungling. And oh, how it is bad for the game, which puts violence against enemies based gameplay.

Some diversity in artistic cutting enemies in the Greek salad is made the job in which you need to manage a small unit of Roman soldiers during sieges or manage ballista.But when it seems that this is it, a variety of missions with the siege transformed into another tyagomotinu; you just lazily move forward, sometimes shouting commands (Kinect too!) comrades "Shields up!" or placing on the archers to attack comfortable position.
Sections ballista generally similar to the arcade: you stupid stupid barbarians fire back, running awkwardly toward invigorating half-meter arrow, running Titus.It is not surprising that these episodes or no effect on the overall storyline. Titus masterfully directed the siege of enemy fortifications and helped to break the backbone of the rebellious enemy? Nothing special, in the Roman army of activists like mushrooms after the rain.


A lot of joy and gives a peculiar system of passive QTE battle. Time to press the button here and does not want - even if you get it wrong, Titus still send barbarian to the forefathers, driving his sword into his belly to the hilt. The main thing - not to win but to participate. You tried.

Network mode copies the entire problem of the single player campaign. Gladiatorial combat in the chic Coliseum only in commercials look cool when in fact also make you yawn of boredom.Run back to slaughter this fool, and then come back a hundred steps back, overthrow a vat of boiling oil, look like a few more enemies screaming in pain as the girls.It is also permitted to take the gladiator to battle one ability (as opposed to Titus, pacing all at once), increases the damage or regenerating health.
