You also get a gun, and a machete for close encounters, but you rarely have much ammo at all, so you have to be quite wily when confronted by desperate scavengers. You do have the classic video game hero's prodigious climbing skills, allowing you to scale twisted skyscrapers and collapsing suspension bridges like there's no tomorrow (which I suppose there isn't), but you have to take a breather quite often or else you will do yourself serious damage and potentially collapse and die. Right from the start, resources are scarce - even your own health and stamina.
Unfortunately, the city is in poor shape and your family home is deserted, so you set out through the streets looking for signs of life, recording a series of video messages on your camcorder which allow developer Ubisoft Shanghai to advance the plot. It's a shroud under which I Am Alive runs around doing interesting things for the five or six hours it takes to finish.Īs one of only a few scattered survivors of an apocalyptic event referred to by everyone as The Event, you start the game by arriving at the fictional American city of Haventon where you used to live with your wife and daughter, following a long trek from coast to coast to reach them. Years of popular fiction - games, novels and films - have rammed this home to such an extent that it blankets the world of pop culture like its own sort of nuclear winter.
When the world ends, resources will be scarce, plants and animals will die out, human beings will eat each other and everyone will dress like a tramp. i would bet my left testi that he will say it sucked and start complaining like he always do.OK, we get it. Like my bro in law, I enjoyed this and will tell him so.
Then we have the optimists who can actually enjoy games that are no blockbusters like this one. negative people will always find the bad things, in everything from games to real life, all they ever do is complain. It can be real tricky to find you way forward on map that can scale 5 levels up through a building and stuff like that. You have map that aren´t so detailed and there is no "radar" or arrow in the ground like Bioshock Infinite. You make them step back on to a ledge or right next to a fire and kick them over the ledge or in to the fire.
You have to take out the leader of the gang and threaten the other ones. The only one who has ever been able to do this is Oswald in Dallas (if you believe the Warren commission). they think the can rush in and take out 3 guys with one bullet. In this game he only has a supporting role, should say something about the quality on the voice acting. The story is not the best ever, one of the parts however is played by the same guy who plays Adam Jensen, the lead character in Deus Ex Human Revolution. With help from ledges and pivots you can regain your stamina while climbing. The climbing mechanics are solid, dont know why people are so negative to this game, I will end this review with my theory on this.
You have a health and a stamina meter you will have to manage carefully. After a series of earthquakes and the "event" that soon ensued, the entire city is filled with dust that seriously inhibit you field of view. More often than not you meet a group of foes with just 1 bullet and have to make due. There is alot of climbing, swinging and fighting in this game. Not being able to just let her wander on her own you decide to help her get back home and it goes from there. You soon realize they are gone and on your way out you spot a little girl. You start off by entering the city looking for your wife and daughter. You soon realize I really enjoyed this game.
