The rest of you will want to get it on sale.ĭouble-EDIT: Even if they bundled Dark Alliance 2 with Dark Alliance, I still think that $30 for BOTH! Yes - both. My recommendation is still the same - diehards will want it and not care that it's $30. I'm currently playing through the game with my son and we're having a blast.ĮDIT: There's a Switch version too, and from what I can tell it has all the hallmarks above. It's still one of the best couch co-op games I've ever played. But for the rest of you, wait until it's on a Steam sale. For diehards, you may consider buying at full price (I did). Really the only thing I have a problem with is the price. The game is the same game you love/hate back then Handles modern controllers effortlessly.I loved the original game and this port doesn't do anything to mess with it In each instance the game handled the aspect correctly and the game looked and performed flawlessly I have played this on my plasma TV, my projector, and even my 4:3 CRT monitor. Handles native resolutions and aspect ratios without problems.Runs on damn near anything (I can play it on my NVS-4200M 512MB at a locked 60fps at 1080p).Here's a list of bullet points of the game: In my opinion, this is a port done right. I see a few reviewers bashing it for "old school difficulty" and while I suppose that's true, I don't think it's all that hard. Well, it got one finally and now you can have it for $30!įor a game this old it still holds up quite well. I always wondered why it never got a PC port. Xbox is the definitive version for that generation, while the Gamecube got the shaft. It was ported over to the Xbox and Gamecube later. Long story short - this was one of my favorite games on the PS2. I could be wrong here but the voice of the NCPD dispatcher sounded a lot like Sonequa Martin-Green to me. Lots of weapon choices (I liked Overwatch and Lizzy). That it had lots of people (just too bad it lacked dialogue or dialogue variety with most of them). The soundtrack had some good songs on it- had to make a note of a few of them to chase down later. Driving around in different cars/trucks was cool- but driving in the desert off road and beating the crap out of whatever you were driving was even cooler. The map was large and you could explore a lot (just too bad many of the buildings had open signs on them but the doors were locked). Did not have any graphical issues at 1080p (no mods). The game played smooth and never crashed once. Quite a few common items could not be picked up either- example - one was right inside the door of V's apartment on the floor and another was a rosary/necklace scattered throughout the game that despite having an indicator to pick it up, I never could. I noticed that when NPCs dropped a weapon, if it did not fall horizontal to the ground but vertically instead, you could not take it. Pickups in the game did not always allow themselves to be picked up. (At first I thought this was part of the game- as guns can jam- so when it first happened I tossed the weapon and got another but then it happened again and again- using sniper rifle or pistol). Had to unequip the weapon, drop it and then pick it up and re-equip it to workaround. Guns put in the 3rd weapon slot in the menu would glitch occasionally and not fire when you right clicked to aim and then tried to left click and fire. Playing a nomad, the quest "boots made for walking" could not be completed because V/Johnny's old car never appeared so you could look under the hood and complete the quest. I could live with the people fading in and your weapons sometimes doing it just as long as no armed NPC came up from behind me after I looked there. I played through using only minimal cyber (what they make you take- your eye and hand cybers) and went for more punk. Even though I downloaded the latest version with the current patches, it has some glitches in it that should be worked out by now given its age on the market. Got it on sale back around Christmas for $30.
