MetalHeart: Replicant's Rampage - My Review (long)

me too, i usually wait 2-3 years before I ever buy a game. this was an impulse, "let's see what this is really about" type purchase.


More on the adventure:

The plot is progressing nicely. The idea behind is cool, but it is still: go do this for me; go get this for me; go get this for me and take it to this person for an exchange, then bring it back; or go defeat somone.

The game's major dialogue points are set in stone, you just watch and listen. Basically this game has lots of things to do, but game will only interact when it thinks you should interact.

There are many tasks in the game that will appear. You can do them in any order, but you have to do a certain set of tasks to open up the next part of the story and get to the next set of tasks. Bascially, a very thin veil of "open-endedness". The story is linear and probably has NO replay value after I am done. It is not a very short adventure, ultimately, so they did pack some gameplay time into the game, but after that, I will probably log no more hours into it whatsoever.

I will say that Lanthan is prick, in a "look... i don't care what you want, i just want the fuck off this planet and will do anything to get there" - some of the banter between Lanthan and Cheris is funny (if you can GET PAST HER "OH MY FUCKING GOD PLEASE SHUT UP" VOICE).
 
Well, to tell the truth, once I got my copy of Arcanum... I haven't even bothered trying play the rest of MetalHeart.

After playing a full game of Arcanum, I realized why I liked games like this so much and realized that I was forcing my way through MetalHeart out of the sheer obligation that I spent $20 and "damn, I should finish this game!" I was going to continue my MetalHeart game, when, instead, I made a brand new Arcanum character (a half-elf femal subterfuge, magic type - as opposed to my gun-toting male human technologist the first time around) and going to tackle the game again.

So... 5/10 maybe for MetalHeart - while Arcanum gets a 9/10 from me .
 
I've had Metalheart for about two weeks now but never opened the box. My choices vary from work on MR, write, or play Civ3 Conquests. I think I've finally burned myself out on Civ, and based on your review maybe I will return to Arcanum myself. Of course, the MR demo is on the horizon...
 
Metalheart - Holy Crap!

Well I heard that Metalheart was really bad a long time ago, so I never got it. But, I was at the store today and just happened to see it for 7.99 and thought, "how bad could it be?"

I shouldn't have asked. Has anyone actually taken the time to play this? I tried to enjoy it, but I had to turn it off after the first 5 minutes.
 
So I have been playing this game. I have some questions hoping someone can give me the information to proceed.

In the city of fortune, I have the quest to stop the bank robbery, Mulio the contact says the gang is hiding in an abandoned building near the bank. I searched every building on that area of the map and could not find them, anyone know where they are located?

Also, what do I have to do to leave the city, I have not found the quest needed yet.
 
I have it from Ebay and it says on the back of the box XP and Windows 2000 but I am wanting to play it on my windows 8 does anyone here play it on a different version of Windows?
