Playability: (5.0)
~The Battle For Troy~(Teaser) is a thrilling watch and an epical one at that too. Questions from the prequel are answered and a new chapter is opened. Characters stories are brought out more as we get to know more about Achilles, Agamemnon, Odysseus, the fate of both Diomedes and Ajax to the very Trojan Hero, Hektor himself and his younger brother, Paris. The effective use of the music adds to a great atmosphere, demonstrating greatly the intended emotion in each scene, which adds to the viewer’s positive watch of this Teaser. The tricks are another thing, intriguing the viewer, holding his view single-handedly like a man's hand superglued to the table.
Balance: (5.0)
When rating this category, reviewers must take into account the author’s intentions and goals of the design. It is in the intention of the author that this scenario evolves plot and story, and to show a cut-scene whereby the player receives no units to control and no struggle to survive. As such there is no deduction from the overall score because there is no fighting for the player.
Creativity: (5.0)
Featuring a great bitmap, a good story and excellent use of dialogue, the music well chosen, the creativity doesn't get much better than that. We are taken through some eye charming scenes, which all ends off in a pleasing sit. There are some well made tricks shown in this teaser, such as removing a scene’s view completely from the minimap, a bustling camp full of patrolling soldiers, working villagers and the such, and the beach effect in which we see the waves rolling back and forth. In other words, creativity is used to exemplary effect.
Map Design: (5.0)
The Map design is overall excellent, with a realistic design of Northwestern Turkey that is the Troas region, where the city of Troy dwells. The city of Sparta, Ilion and the encampment of the Mycenaean army are all very pleasing, with terrain mixing and Gaia used to perfect detail. In addition map copying is used to exemplary effect, the structures of settlements are well placed and the correct civilisations used for the respective cultures. A job well done.
Story/ Instructions: (4.0)
Sceletar takes us through a pretty unique style of reciting to us the Trojan War. The story, being a mix of the Iliad, Homer’s epic poem and Troy, the movie, begins off with a young Greek boy called Anudorus who eagerly listens to the famous poet Homer as he talks about the Trojan War. Homer is the narrator of this story, and tells Anudorus, and us, the futile exploits of the war and tales of the glorious heroes caught in it, such as Hektor, breaker of horses and Achilleus, the swift footed. We are also scrolled through the details from when the Mycenaean navy of gigantic proportion swept across the ocean in its strong-benched ships, to when the great battle was fought for the Beach of Troy. This was a fantastic telling, but was exempt from a perfect 5.0 because the story was unfinished in the sense that we do not know the conclusion, awaiting a sequel, and the constant hammering of grammatical errors. Such, are some lack of capital letters; full stops, commas, the use of an exclamation mark instead of a question mark and spaces where needed. I also encountered the maid called Briseis, which you accidentally spelled Bressais. There is also some confusing dialogue, which could be clearer.
In a word - Riveting.
In conclusion - A must download![Edited on 07/02/08 @ 10:30 PM]
