Title: Evil Genius
Post by: DamoclesX on October 04, 2004, 02:03:53 pm

So who here is playing this game?

I think its just AWSOME, I love the style of it, sooo sweet.

Its freaking a long play tho, you can play for 6 hours and get nowhere lol, your basic units get killed off very quickly and it takes 60 seconds on default rate to get new ones...

I am stil on the second mission where you have to capture 3 crime bosses, nasty and long, I keep losing guys while either trying to steal money, or defend the base...

ya its VERY hard lol

the second guy..... india I think?
what you have to do is put some minions there and set them to plot... then theyw ill find him in time.. I cant find the 3rd guy in china

its NOT an easy game, the worst part is you do not want to lose minions cause they take so long

I found a interesting thing
before you capture that maid.. you can steal all you want in the world dom map and nobody will react until AFTER you capture the main

I raiped like 500k out of the planet and built a massive base with 2 levels of defense, wind traps and gas traps, so i"M hoping that slows down the enemy

also get guards as soon as you can, you have to capture that guy in south america, but guards REALLY help, they use shotguns and are a lot more effective in combat.

I played  the demo, was pretty fun, but after a while it got a little tedious and I could see that after playing it for a few more hours it'd start to get boring.

I found the demo to be technically impressive, but the gameplay tedious. I hated how my guys would completely ignore infiltrators unless I manually tagged them, or put the whole frickin' base on alert. I didn't care for the elements which were shoehorned in to fit the theme. Like-- capture spy, then gloat over him in his cell. Yeah it sounds nice, but in practice it's just thumb-twiddling while your Evil Genius waddles down to the cell block and plays out some little animation. Nothing particularly fun about it, taken on its own terms.
