Escape from Paradise City

Escape from Paradise City thrusts players into a dynamic gaming experience they won't soon forget. Some story elements may feel too common or even cliché at times, yet the high level of play control, enthralling locations, superb visual detail, and role-playing elements are some of the best we've seen lately. On the whole, the game knocks you to the curb, kicks you in the teeth, and makes you love every second of it. It's violent, sexy, and highly recommended.

Escape from Paradise City is an entertaining game that will appease most RPG gamers, except the die-hard D&D fans. However if you're into an almost science fiction game set in the real-world than this is the game for you. Give it a shot, you might be pleasantly surprised!

Escape from Paradise City ist ein interessantes Spiel, dass es gut schafft die verschiedenen Genres Taktik und Rollenspiel zusammen zu bringen. Ergänzt mit dem Setting einer von Gangstern bevölkerten Stadt und der schönen Story die ein paar nette Wendungen bereit hält wird das Spiel schnell zu einem explosiven Cocktail mit viel Spielspaß. Wer nur auf gewohnten und geraden Pfaden wandeln möchte könnte zwar überfordert sein mit der Mischung, aber jeder der gerne mal neues ausprobiert kann hier eine Menge Spaß finden.

Escape from Paradise City is an Action RPG with RTS elements. Let's see that fit into a genre search engine anytime soon! But, more importantly, it's a fun little game.

Escape from Paradise City isn't trying to be the most visually stunning or the most innovative game, but with its excellent blend of several genres, its attention to detail, and easy accessibility with its low requirements and absolutely no frustration due to bugs, it becomes a game that I'd easily recommend to anyone

The game has a lot of promise but this is where it falls down. Once you’ve done the training missions that lead you into the game it just gets stale and repetitive. You never feel like you’re really controlling the combat and it is upsetting. The game’s concept has a lot of promise; it just fails to fulfil it. It just becomes slightly boring.

In the end Escape from Paradise City is a decently fun game. It isn't too deep or too light, it's a rather good game for the casual player. Just because it is called an RPG RTS doesn't mean you should be expecting Warcraft 3 (we'll ignore my feelings on that game) but expect something more akin to a Diablo or hack and slash game. It's more killing than strategy so I find it hard to call it an RTS. If you're looking for something to do until the next big one comes around, and you're looking for something a bit different, give Escape from Paradise City a whirl, you very well might not mind it.

Even with the limited gameplay style Escape from Paradise City is still fun to play. What we get is a good twist on both the strategy and role-playing genres. The city is rather well developed with a decent population going about its business. It may not be heavily detailed, but the game isn’t going to tax your PC’s specs either. The problems that Escape from Paradise City has isn’t so much with the ideas, but the execution of them. The gameplay itself is a good balance, but the story just seems rather too simple for what it should be.

On the whole, Escape from Paradise City is not something I can easily recommend at full price. At a budget price, it might be perfect for whiling away a few hours in the post-Christmas lull. It's by no means terrible, and by no means as bad as you might expect, but by the same token, it's not as good as, after the opening game sequence, you begin to hope it might be.

Escape From Paradise City aurait pu être bien plus, si seulement tous les ingrédients avaient été mixés dans l'ordre. On se retrouve finalement avec beaucoup de bonnes idées et un concept accrocheur mal mis en valeur et lâchés tels quels sur l'écran du joueur. Répétitif, riche mais sans que le joueur ne soit jamais poussé à tirer parti de cette richesse, Escape From Paradise City déçoit et se révèle finalement inférieur à son aîné.

Escape from Paradise City je hra s potenciálom. Ako to pri týchto hrách býva, rozhodne si ju neužije každý, ale vzhľadom na jej cenu, som si istý, že si svoje publikum nájde. Jej hlavným problémom je, že vlastne nie je plnohodnotne ničím. Pre hráča RPG hier poskytuje príliš málo role-play možností. Pre hráča akčných hier je v nej príliš tabuliek, od ktorých závisí úspech akcie. Nuž a pre stratéga je tam zase príliš iného rozptyľovania.

Escape from Paradise City konnte mich von Anfang an nicht überzeugen. Die drei spielbaren Charaktere unterscheiden sich zwar deutlich voneinander, wegen der miserablen Balance ärgere ich mich aber bei jedem Level mit Boris über den viel zu hohen Schwierigkeitsgrad. Außerdem macht mir das anfangs recht unterhaltsame Erobern der Gebiete bereits nach kurzer Zeit keinen Spaß mehr, weil Abwechslung fehlt. Schade um das nette Szenario.

Escape from Paradise City heeft zijn naam niet gestolen. Dit is echt een game waar je met veel plezier van wegvlucht!

Podsumowując – Escape from Paradise City jest tak przeciętne, że doskonale przyda się growym masochistom. Nie wszystko oczywiście jest źle, lecz bardzo niewiele aspektów tego tytułu stoi na dobrym poziomie. Za tą cenę kupiłbym raczej inną grę, lecz wybór zależy od Was. Pamiętajcie jednak, że wszelkie skargi możecie mieć tylko i wyłącznie do siebie. Ostrzegałem!

Better than it looks at first glance yet not as good as it could be, Escape From Paradise City settles for mediocrity when it could have aspired to much more. The game mechanics and character development are more interesting than you might expect from a game like this, but with more imaginative level design, better graphics, and better multiplayer, this could have been a much better game. If you can get past the game's repetitive gameplay and visuals, you could still say that Escape From Paradise City is better than it looks at first glance, though perhaps that's not saying much.

Escape from Paradise City nie je hrou zlou. Ide o gangsterku lacnejšieho charakteru, pri ktorej sa nejakú tú hodinku zabavíte, avšak plnohodnotný zážitok to určite nie je a nemáte ten správny dojem zo samotného hrania. České titulky sprístupnia hru aj menej náročným hráčom, do konečnej kúpy vás môže donútiť aj cena, ktorá je pomerne nízka (necelé tri stovky) a za ňu sa Escape from Paradise City oplatí. Neponúka toho toľko ako iné trojáčkové projekty, ide o budget, ale o jeden z tých kvalitnejších.

Стратегии в Escape from Paradise City отведена второстепенная роль, зато немало элементов RPG и… ни намека на интересный сюжет и интригующие события. Вместо них — постоянные одергивания, палки в колеса и дурной баланс.

Escape from Paradise City is beter dan een eerste blik doet vermoeden, maar minder goed dan wat het had kunnen zijn. Aan de positieve zijde vinden we sommige spelmechanismen en de ontwikkeling van je karakters, aan de andere kant de eentonige levels en grafieken. Al bij al een tegenvaller…

In the vast gulf between the triple A games and the shovelware that goes direct to the bargain bin lie MOL games like Escape from Paradise City. It's more or less fun, more or less good looking, and more or less better than you'd guess from looking at the fuzzy box art. If a little more attention had been paid to the writing, if the missions had been a a bit less repetitive, and the setting a more varied, Escape from Paradise City could have a been a real winner instead of the "more or less poster child" it is.

Das klingt jetzt alles nicht wirklich gut und würde ich den Test damals als er noch Vollpreistitel war fertig bekommen haben, dann hätte ich an dieser Stelle vielleicht sogar echt vom Leder gezogen. Jetzt liegt der Titel je nach Laden noch zwischen 10 und 20 Euro, mein Rat wäre da immer noch etwas zu warten- ganz den Titel zu vergessen braucht man aber nicht, denn manch Spielstunde war schon unterhaltsam, weshalb ich auch nicht einfach den Test unter den Tisch fallen lassen wollte sondern jetzt doch mit monatelanger Verspätung die letzten Buchstaben in die Tastatur klopfte.

Coming full circle, then, Portal was a game about jumping through holes; more than the sum of its parts. Escape From Paradise City is game about tank rushing. Its fundamentals are sussed pretty quickly, but that veneer of a polished plot or inventive level design is lacking. It scores a little better than it should for a decent interface and obligatory multiplayer mode, but it won't be this game that steals our hearts and makes us prattle on endlessly about it.

In the beginning I could immerse myself, but in the end I just wanted to escape from this game
