On the whole, Wild Metal is a very fun and rewarding experience. The graphics are sub par and the learning curve is kind of steep, but for those who consider themselves hardcore gamers, it's really a must-play. I commend Rock Star for spending the time to get the gameplay so "tweaked". A game like this one with top-notch presentation and graphics would truly be to die for. Here's to a sequel..?

Een geinig en verslavend spelletje dat het niet van de graphics moet hebben maar wel van de gameplay in de latere missies. Geen topper, geen flopper.

DMA Design is no stranger to having a good gameplay concept buried under layers of eye-candy and promotional problems. Their critically-acclaimed N64 titles "Body Harvest" and "Space Station Sillicon Valley" suffered from lack of promotion and very dated graphics (by that system's third-generation standards), and sales were relatively low; the Dreamcast port of "Wild Metal" (which has already been released on PC and started its console development as an N64 title) is likely to go through a similar path toward the discount shelves, which is a pity because there is an intense two-player mode and a deep (but tedious) series of one-player missions buried under a first-generation engine.

Nicht nur, dass diesem Game so ziemlich alle Zutaten fehlen, um lĂ€nger als einige Minuten vor den Bildschirm zu fesseln â verglichen mit thematisch Ă€hnlichen Software-Perlen wie dem brillanten Red Dog wirkt Wild Metal wie ein schlechter Scherz. Selbst wenn die Kritikpunkte KamerafĂŒhrung und Leveldesign nicht wĂ€ren, bleibt unterm Strich nur ein langweiliger 08/15-Shooter, der die Möglichkeiten des DC nicht annĂ€hernd ausnĂŒtzt.

"Wild Metal" ist die Sorte Spiel, bei dem es einem leid tut, dass man ihm keine bessere Bewertung geben kann. Es gibt sicherlich Spieler, die viel SpaĂ bei der Jagd auf die Energiekerne haben werden, aber fĂŒr die breite Masse ist dieses Game nicht zu empfehlen. Es ist einfach zu langsam und zu umstĂ€ndlich. Die ewige Fahrerei von einer Stellung zur nĂ€chsten wird schnell langweilig und die Suche nach den Zielen kann ebenfalls sehr zeitraubend sein. Die unspektakulĂ€re Landschaft und der wirklich miserable Sound tun ihr ĂŒbriges, um den gröĂten Teil der Menschheit vom Fernseher zu verscheuchen. Wer allerdings ĂŒber solche MĂ€ngel hinwegsehen kann und schon immer vergeblich nach dem taktischen Element in den Ballerspielen gesucht hat, sollte âWild Metalâ auf jeden Fall einmal ausprobieren. Wie so hĂ€ufig macht auch dieses Spiel am meisten SpaĂ, wenn man gegen einen menschlichen Gegner antritt. Schade nur, dass es keinen 4-Spieler-Modus gibt.

AbgekĂŒrzt wĂŒrde die Spielbeschreibung lauten: rumfahren, rumballern, rumsuchen, Goodies aufnehmen und weitersuchen. Leider kann das Spiel weder grafisch noch von der Spieltiefe ĂŒberzeugen. Schade.

If it weren't for the terrible control scheme, horribly accurate AI, and confusing terrain, this game would still be overly simple. There are no difficult tasks set ahead of you - simply collect the cores and return to the starting point. It's unfortunate that the only difficulty found in the game is a direct result of the game's numerous flaws. With the Dreamcast's muscle, this game had plenty of potential, but it turned out to be a boring shooter so frustrating that it's hardly worth a rental.

Moi je dis que ça vaut pas plus que ça, mĂȘme en cherchant bien on trouve pas : Wild Metal est un jeu bĂąclĂ© et qui nâutilise en rien les possibilitĂ© fantastiques de la dreamcast. NUL !

Vaya nuestra crĂtica como un "aviso para navegantes". Somos conscientes deque no todos los juegos pueden tener la calidad de Soul Calibur, pero, de verdad, Wild Metal brilla mucho mĂĄs por sus tremendas carencias que por lo que nos ofrece (aunque los cristales de energĂa brillen como diamantes).

If you are looking for a war game that involves tanks, look elsewhere. Even the most die-hard tank enthusiasts will undoubtedly become bored with this title in the first hour. Even after giving it a chance and playing for several days, most gamers (if not all) will realize that Wild Metal will never own up to its fifty dollar price tag. If you want to know exactly what its like, think of it as walking to the mall and back with snow shoes on looking for a quarter you dropped. The feeling of mission accomplished is hardly any more rewarding than the actual journey is fun.

Every aspect of Wild Metal is horrible. The missions are mindless and repetitive. The barren levels hold few enemies to encounter, so most of your time is spent battling your true nemesis - this game's terrible physics and control.

Wild Metal Country was popular on PC but this Dreamcast version is dull, dull, dull. Sure, the tank control is okay and the in-game physics are clever, but after spending ages trying to get up a hill where you can see a power core, and sliding down just as you get to the top, these clever physics will have you screaming with rage. The PC version offered some great multiplayer action, but on DC it only lets two players battle it out and contains all the problems of the main game. Don't even be tempted.

Graphiquement, il n'exploite pas les capacitĂ©s de la Dreamcast et la jouabilitĂ© est dĂ©sastreuse. Quant Ă l'intĂ©rĂȘt, avancer et rĂ©cupĂ©rer des objets brillants en prenant bien soin de tuer les deux ennemis qui se baladent sur l'Ă©cran, c'est pas encourageant. Un jeu Ă Ă©viter comme la peste brune en Autriche.

If Wild Metal had come out on September 9th, 1999 and included full Internet play, it might have been worthwhile. PC gamers will tell you that the slow-paced, low-res capture-the-flag variants like Wild Metal work well on 56k modems. Without the Internet support, though, this is a weak effort all around. Shame on you, Rockstar Games. Shame.
