Title: War in Heaven - A review
Post by: terran_emperor on August 17, 2010, 05:36:28 pm
Oh Man what can I say about this and where do I start?

When AoA came out, it blew me away and then came the Directors cut which left the original AoA standing.

I really had difficulty seeing/did not see how it could get any better - boy was I wrong

The intro cutscene - I'd already seen what could be done cinematically with the engine in AoA,
but when I saw WiH intro  :eek2: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw:
I was just blown away it - i can't even begin to describe how epic it was.
Over the next two days, I experienced the joy, hope and most of all the despair that the characters felt.
The mission design, story and characterisations are among the best of just about any game I've ever played.
when I saw the ending, I felt it was just as great as the intro.
When I looked in the mission simulator, I was stunned to see it was only 17 missions long and at least 2 were cutscene missions.
It felt so much longer.

Oh God what an ending...I was on the edge of my seat. The questions that are left unanswered...The speculation I have for Part 2

All I can say is fantastic job guys  :yes: absolutly fantastic.

WiH didn't meet my expectations, it exceeded them to about the highest degree

I'm really looking forward to Part 2 I expect it to be just as totally frekking epic as part 1 if not more so.

Keep up the good stunning work

Thank you, good sir! We were going to make it just sort of okay, but now we'll make sure it's good just for you.  ;)

I agree with that review, though I do hope those Earth ship models get reworked. They really made my system slow to a crawl at some points......
