Version: The War In Heaven demo
Pros: OK, well: I'm a Christian, a strong Christian and I plan to be a missionary once I finish my Medical Doctorate. So this review is awkward for me. The Bible references are wonderful, and the symbolism in the ease of killing the "bosses" is neat. I didn't see anything that pointed to an obviously poor theological stand (such as fighting demons to save another's soul, as in other games). Also, the controls are simple and the menus are easy to move around in. The graphics are truly 3d, it seems--maybe HEX; so that's an upgrade from Doom.
Cons: Even for 1999, this game is lacking in visual and audio elements. The Demo is too small for me to make any major decisions about the game. However, it seems that there just wasn't the time spent tweaking the engine and making characters feel real. Also, the whole idea of Christians immitating the world seems strange? Aren't Christians supposed to be different?

Pros: Looking forward to a good christian game with scriptural lessons.
Cons: Slow and boring. when the demons get hit, sounds like an adult film! Don't waste your time.

Pros: This game actually made me laugh my butt off!
Cons: Everything in this game sucks! I felt like I was being evangelized by idiots! Why would anyone make such a terrible game? And, why in the world would someone give you the option of playing two different sides if one side is set up to lose? This game has no real purpose except to attempt to convert people over to Christianity. Well this game fails miserably at achieving the Christian goal of salvation from the mythical place they call 'Hell.'
Now, I've heard that their is actually a game out there for PCs and consoles where the Judeo-Christian god is the 'bad guy' and the goal of the game is to defeat him. I've also heard that the graphics on that game are awesome, and the game play is fantastic. Now, that sounds like a game worth playing.
This garbage that they call a game belongs in the trash!

"An ok start for an old school game..."
Summary: ' The graphics aren't that great, ' The speed of the game play is pretty slow, ' The sound FX are also cheesy (even I can do WAY BETTER). ' It jams easy and uses tons of your system resources up. The idea for this type of game is good, but the de... read more

"This is the "Desperado" of video games"
Summary: OK, this thing ran terrible on my athlon 1.2/384 mgs ram. New games don't do that. It shouldn't have anyway, it was just a poorly rendered map filled with crappy polygons. Sidestepping doesn't work, and whether or not demons actually hit you you t... read more
