Terracide is a good game, but it's not always apparent while you're playing. There's little to distinguish it from the original tunnelly Doom game other than its technical advancements. Descent 3 will probably take advantage of the same hardware (as will Probe's as-yet-unnamed Descent game; see Blueprint, page 54), it remains to be seen if it will offer any new game-play. Terracide is more of a stop-gap, but the fact that it's out now helps - it comes down to how patient you are. And, as I said, how much oomph is under your PC's bonnet.

Wil je een spel waarmee je kan zien waartoe die nieuwe 3D kaart in je PC in staat is, dan is Terracide waarschijnlijk nog niet zo'n slechte keuze. Wil je echter een spel dat je wekenlang geboeid zal houden en je elke maal opnieuw verrast, dan kijk je best ergens anders naar uit want daar is Terracide veel te lineair en te saai voor.

Terracide formår at hæve sig over gennemsnittet og scorer en pæn karakter. Men prøv det, før du køber!

With Pod, UbiSoft attempted to capture the zeitgeist, wading in with a game that not only supported the new-fangled MMX instruction set, but also powered along under the steam of 3D accelerator technology. Instead it's Terracide which offers a tantalising glimpse of what might be. For, while it shuns dedicated card drivers in favour of an 'everyman' Direct3D route, the game's determination to make use of key card features ensures that it sets a respectable benchmark for the inevitable wave of accelerated games to aim for.

Mit Terracide lockt Eidos keinen Mutanten hinterm Reagenzglas hervor. Zwar ist die Grafik mit 3DFX-Karte hübsch und sogar schnell genug, aber das dürftige Spiel kann sie nicht kaschieren.

Terracide - лишь слабое подобие былого хита. Мода на подобные игры на данный момент прошла. Simis опоздал на год или два. Terracide должна была "вытащить" красивая графика, но ее тоже нет. Игра недоделана, причем основательно. Звук просто раздражает. А 3Dfx-вариант уже старенького Descent'а выглядит во много раз лучше. Увы.

Zuerst machte mir Terracide überhaupt keinen Spaß. Das erste Level erstreckt sich wie eine lange Wurst ohne eine einzige Abzweigung oder Gabelung vor dem Bug meines Gleiters. Ein Gegner nach dem anderen wird fachgerecht zerlegt, und die Langeweile wächst proportional zu den abgegeben Schüssen. Zwischendurch sorgen die Blechdrohnen mit ihren hochfrequenzen Feuersalven, denen nur sehr schwer auszuweichen ist, für viel Frust und Verzweiflung. Zur Grafik ohne 3D-Beschleuniger will ich nicht mehr sagen, als daß ich durch sie zum ersten Mal herausgefunden habe, warum in jeder Anleitung eine Epilepsiewarnung abgedruckt ist.

Computer Games Magazine
Owners of Descent II who possess an insatiable desire to careen down just one more hallway will enjoy the similarities of Terracide to its obvious inspiration. Most folks, however, will find the game world common, the graphics jarring, and the faint odor of deja vu permeating every blinding tunnel they've seen so many times before.
