Despite the praise I’m giving to Necrovision, I still consider Painkiller to be the better game. It felt fresh and innovative, even though it might not have been, and Necrovision doesn’t have that appeal. What it does have is a lot of good quality shooting which actually held my interest until the end, and I could’ve gone for twice more had the game been longer. What I’m implying here to the developers is go make a sequel, because you’ve got a guaranteed customer if this game is anything to go by.

W NVN po prostu zabijamy lub zostajemy zabici – to czysta akcja, gwarantująca sporą dawkę adrenaliny, idealna dla ludzi którzy w grach nie szukają głębi, drugiego dnia czy Bóg wie czego, a jedynie akcji i rozrywki.

NecroVision won't become a classic, but it's definitely an entertaining product for most of the gamers. Its increased difficulty will definitely surprise you, but even that should not stop you from completing it, at least for the sake of the design level which is (if not amazing) at least original.

Admittedly, some of NecroVisioN’s faults and quirks may be viewed as a plus among players who’ve already invested an unhealthy amount of spare time immersing themselves in cult horror classics like Evil Dead 2, Hellraiser, and Dead Alive – where bad acting, less plot, and more blood makes for a much more enjoyable experience. An appreciation for those films and for buckets of ultra-violent action will certainly make NecroVisioN more endearing.

Necrovision es a grandes rasgos un buen juego, con momentos divertidos y detalles originales, algo de agradecer en los tiempos que corren… pero que no llega a culminar en un gran juego por los factores citados antes. Ello unido a la poca publicidad que se le ha dado frente a grandes producciones recientes como Far Cry 2 o FEAR 2 le hará pasar bastante desapercibido en el mercado. A pesar de ello, por su claro enfoque arcade, sencillo, directo y sin complicaciones, estamos seguros que no dejará de ser una propuesta interesante para muchos de los seguidores de este clásico género. Y es que… matar malvados soldados alemanes mientras un gigantesco dragón sobrevuela el escenario siempre es divertido.

Regardless, the game's discount price and healthy single-player component make Necrovision an attractive purchase for FPS enthusiasts more interested in exercising their twitchy trigger fingers than their gray matter. Just don't give up after the first couple of chapters, because if you can muddle through them, there is a surprising amount of mayhem and merriment waiting for you on the other side.

NecroVisioN falls short of its own self-imposed mark, to rekindle the old-school shooter experience, but that was a particularly high bar to reach. So if you fancy a simple run-and-gun experience with a few twists, you’ll get your money’s worth.

If you're after a no-nonsense, monster slaughtering FPS that moves at a fast pace and looks pretty smart, you could do a lot worse than NecroVisioN. The game delivers non-stop action from start to finish, constantly throws new enemies at you and gradually introduces new abilities. It won't be everyone's idea of a good time, but leave your brain on the installation screen and you're likely to have plenty of mindless fun.

Tant par son univers que par son gameplay, NecroVisioN possède suffisamment de personnalité pour se défaire de son glorieux héritage. N'y cherchez donc pas le nouveau Painkiller, vous seriez déçu, le titre de The Farm 51 n'en possède pas la fougue. Cependant, il faut le prendre pour ce qu'il est, c'est-à-dire un FPS correct proposant une bonne dose d'action aux amateurs du genre. En période de disette, on ne dit pas non.

If the story had been a lot more coherent and decided whether it wanted to be tongue-in-cheek or tragic, then it would be a bit easier for me to get on board and enjoy the ride. Even so, having made the commitment to play through the game, I found myself appreciating the abundance (sometimes overabundance) of combat features and the hundreds of enemies waiting around each corner. The challenge is finding a set of combat options that work for you and not getting weary of the repetitive onslaught of enemies. If you're willing not to think too much about what's going on, it can be enjoyable but once you start paying attention to it all, the rougher spots in the design start to show.

Hui, hier wollten die Entwickler wohl alles zusammenschmeißen, was man in ein Actionspiel reinpacken kann. Anders kann ich mir den wilden Mix aus klassischem Weltkriegs-Shooter und Horror- Spektakel nicht erklären. Die Ideen sind ja gar nicht schlecht, bloß hapert es an der Umsetzung. Während die Bosskämpfe gut unter halten, bleibt viel Spielspaß beim tumben Geballere in öden, in die Länge gezogenen, graubraun texturierten Levelabschnitten auf der Strecke. Da hilft auch die Direct-X-10-Variante nichts, die lediglich für ein paar hübschere Licht- und Schatteneffekte sorgt.

Meristation
Pese a contar con una presentación sólida, el juego no consigue enganchar ni resultar especialmente interesante. La mezcla, forzada, de realidad y fantasía no acaba de encajar del todo, lo que unido a un flojo argumento hace que vivamos algunas situaciones extrañas y que no se acaban de entender pese a haber completado el juego. Con todo, resulta un producto correcto, apto para cualquiera que desee disfrutar de un título de acción en primera persona sin esperar uno de los mejores juegos del año. El multijugador y los desafíos ayudan a expandir la experiencia, sin resultar claves, aunque ofrecen un valor añadido muy necesario en este caso.

Necrovision souffre d’un manque cruel d’imagination. Une première phase de jeu vraiment perméable risque d’en décourager plus d’un. Il faudra en effet du courage pour continuer et arriver à la deuxième partie et ses sorts bien plus sympathiques. Ce sera alors comme une seconde vie pour Necrovision, jusque là plus que quelconque.

Soms is het beter om de doden te laten rusten, of net niet. Zolang je Necrovision maar niet speelt.

Gamekult
FPS orienté action dans la veine des jeux de tirs bourrins et spectaculaires, NecroVisioN est un projet hybride qui débute comme un clone complètement raté de Call of Duty pour soudain retrouver sa ludicité et proposer enfin le démembrement de masse attendu. Parfois approximatif et maladroit, le jeu se parcourt heureusement avec de plus en plus de plaisir en dépit de l'absence totale de réelles nouveautés et malgré des défauts inhérents au genre, auxquels s'ajoutent quelques choix de design critiquables. Avec ses idées sympathiques bien que relativement anecdotiques, NecroVisioN fait son chemin sans génie mais avec un certain savoir faire, surtout côté technique. Les fans en auront pour leur argent, surtout à ce prix, pourvu qu'ils n'en attendent pas des miracles.

Painkiller установила очень высокую планку качества «мясных» шутеров. NecroVisioN решила ее взять, но споткнулась при разбеге и ударилась о перекладину головой.
