Description

Saul Myers' daughter has gone missing in a fictional South-American land, and as an ex-military he decides to take matters into his own hands. Boiling Point is a mix of frantic first person shooter action and role playing game features, with weapons like assault rifles and revolvers, mixed with character statistics and a plethora of missions. Seven factions (Civilian, CIA, Government, Indians, Bandits, Mafia and Guerillas) to mess with, 25x25 kilometers of space to play in, driveable vehicles (planes, boats and cars) and hundreds of people to interact with is only a few of the features found in this huge game.

Trivia

Although Boiling Point was a highly anticipated game release, many gamers were severely disappointed with the game because it was released before it was even close to finished. Although a 70+ megabyte patch was released shortly after the game's release, way too many bugs still remain. How could such a bug-riddled mess get past QA testing? Did it even go through QA testing?
