Crusader: No Remorse

Origin really went all-out to create a perfect action game and also couldn't help but add a little more gameplay than simply shooting. Crusader: No Remorse is a 2D isometric action game with some strategy elements thrown in. You play an assassin called a "silencer" who worked for the World Economic Consortium, but changed sides when the WEC decided he and his friends were too much of a risk. The story is not the strongest part of the game, but this can be overlooked, because the graphics and gameplay are simply amazing.

The gameplay sizzles with a perfect blend of combat and exciting challenges, such as defusing traps, seizing control of enemy droids and more. If you loved Loaded and Project Overkill, snap up Crusader.

Incredible graphics, sound and gameplay. Graphic violence, unsuitable for youngsters; no joystick support. A great alternative to first-person shoot'em-us, and a definite must-play for action fans.

At each new release from Origin, wherever you go on the networks, you will notice an incredible number of messages about the game. Some are ecstatic, others are mad about the game, but few belong to the category of people who can not choose whether they are not satisfied or absolutely subjugated. Most of the time when you read a message that flames an Origin game, it will be because the game does not support a particular sound card or because the system requirements do not allow the game to run on anything lower than a 486 based system when it is not a Pentium!

Vous n'aurez pas une minute à vous. Ce jeu va vous tenir en haleine pendant un long moment et vous en mettre plein la vue. Mais attention, les derniers niveaux sont durs, très durs !

Crusader is an exciting and compelling action game, perfectly combined with excellent story-telling elements. While this game's engine bears some similarity to the one used for Ultima 8, the SVGA graphics and the overall quality of this game makes it far superior to most other games of this type. If you're looking for a great solo game that offers beautiful SVGA graphics, quality FMV, awesome SFX and music to feed the atmosphere, WC-type interaction with other characters, and pulse pounding gameplay, Origin has your game with Crusader: No Remorse.

De seje effekter, den suveræne lyd og de mange detaljer, som tilsammen er spillets force, løfter dog efter min mening alligevel gameplayet op på nedenstående karakter. Alt i alt er CRUSADER hårdtpumpet, meningsløs vold når den er allerbedst - eller allerværst, om man vil.

Wer eine gute Aufbereitung eines recht simplen Spielprinzips sucht und für sein Geld wirklich langanhaltenden Spielspaß haben will, findet momentan nichts Besseres.

Happy new year, gamers! Let's take a trip back in time and look at a true classic in the third person shooter genre. In 1995, Crusader: No Remorse was a game like no other. Billed by its publisher, Electronic Arts' Origin Systems division, as a "shooter from a different perspective," the off-center isometric game followed the adventures of a guy (no women in the player position) in a red suit whose mission was to make life hell for a large, world-controlling, multinational corporation. In these times of mass corporate layoffs and big business in command, Crusader is still oddly relevant nearly seven years after its release.

My only real gripes with this one are the control learning curve, which is admittedly a minor inconvenience only at the beginning of the game, and the small, somewhat pixilated character models. They certainly pass muster, but I feel they could have made them a little more detailed. Other than that, this is a great experience. The music and sound effects provide a great deal of atmosphere, and each level is objective based, so you always have something to do. If can still find it, definitely pick it up.

Don't be surprised to find that Crusader is far from perfect. The quirky controls and somewhat disappointing plot sequences can be distracting, and the missions are something less than a mental workout. Even so, if you're the kind of player who enjoys laying waste to an enemy compound, Crusader's glass-shattering ferocity is tailor-made for you.

You can't really go wrong with this game. Its attention to detail and the well-designed missions will result in some (positively) tense hours in front of the screen.

Crusader: No Remorse provided many hours of enjoyable gaming, especially once you got used to the controls and the overhead viewpoint. Overall, I would recommend it for action gamers who want a break from the Doom look-alikes that dominate the market. Unfortunately, Crusader doesn't support head-to-head play; that could be a consideration for some of you, and it does affect my rating slightly. Still, Crusader: No Remorse has earned a score of 80 from this reviewer as one of the better action games of the year. Watch for the sequel, coming soon from Origin, called Crusader: No Regret.

Kennen Sie auch diese mäßig realistischen Actionfilme, in denen verwegene Einzelkämpfer eine ganze Station mit hunderten von Bösewichten aufmischen? Crusader beschert ein solches Erlebnis in interaktiver Form. Nicht gerade ein Feuerwerk an origineller Subtilität, aber es wummt und kracht in unterhaltsamen Ausmaßen.

In the end, the game's control problems can be overcome by those patient enough to master them. That reason alone is why Crusader didn't end up in my circular file. If you've got the time to learn, and the desire to destroy, Crusader contains more than enough action and explosions to satisfy.

Die-hard fans of the PC version will sorely miss the game's flexible control and video. Obviously, if you've never played the PC version, the Playstation's minor deficiencies won't be noticed. And once you get past the control problems, you'll discover a great game that possesses an almost unlimited amount of death and destruction.

It may have been around on the PC for a year now – in fact a sequel entitled No Regret has recently emerged – but Crusader: No Remorse is just as engrossing in its new PlayStation clothes.

It's easy to dismiss Crusader as being a bad game if you only play it for a few minutes. The graphics are so-so (although everything blows up real nice), the animation is choppy and the missions seem mostly of the repetitive, blow-stuff up variety. But this PC port has depth. Each of the 15 missions is ultra-long and packs plenty of objectives. Fortunately, you can save your game at any time (you only get one life, so save often!). It's the control that really hurts this game. The joypad is unresponsive and simple tasks such as sidestepping and rolling are a chore, as well as silly-looking. You can't even shoot while sidestepping!

It's amazing how many games got good ratings at the Playstation's launch that weren't actually that good. This game is no exception. While not a terrible title overall, it reeks of first generation Playstation gaming and plods along at a tediously slow pace in such a way that it isn't remotely enjoyable for more than a few minutes.

Gubbarna rycker omkring som taskiga marionetter, och vad som först verkade vara ett taktiskt komplext spel utvecklas snart till ett urskiljningslöst pepprande där skyldiga såväl som oskyldiga flyger som löv för vinden.
