Summary

Ironstorm has potential - but doesn't use it...

The Good

IronStorm's most important point is it's story and atmosphere. There's always something happening around you. Via a TV-Station you get to know the most recent political and/or military movements. The whole gameworld is dark and decayed, the weapons have a old but evolved look.

The Bad

The game is a standard-egoshooter without any new ideas or features. The graphic could be better (doesn't even have multi-texturing,...), the leveldesign is repetitive and a bit poor. And don't try the multiplayer-part...

The Bottom Line

IronStorm could be a good game - if there were experienced designers! The good story and intensive atmosphere are quite impressive, but the bad graphic, the repetitive gameplay and the crappy multiplayer-part leave a bad feeling about this game. IronStorm could be good - but isn't. But on the other side - it's not a crap game! People should try the demo and then decide to bye Ironstorm or not...
