World War Zero

World War Zero (2005)


World War Zero is a Sci-Fi First-Person Shooter game, developed and published by Reef Interactive, released in Europe in 2005.



A troubled past is something that World War Zero knows all too well. Originally it began life on the PC as a third person shooter that some may remember as Ironstorm, but success was not easily found and it wasn't long before it was left to fill that bargain bin in the sky. It was later released for the consoles as a first person shooter minus some of the problems that led to its original demise. Coming full circle, Ironstorm is making a return with a new name and a new style, a PC conversion of a console conversion of a PC game!

The overall premise of World War Zero is no less muddled than its own history. Set in an alternate version of the Sixties, the First World War never ended; in fact, it's still being bitterly waged throughout Europe, plunging the world into utter chaos as the good old boys from the West try to defeat a megalomaniac leader from the East. Despite some absurdity, the setting does make for a nice change from the usual FPS fare. Mixing modern day technology with early 1900s trench warfare is an odd combination, but it is used to create a suitably atmospheric game.





The opening levels take you through some bitter and bloody battles, beginning in a network of trenches, you'll first find yourself in an allied base being bombed by the enemy. Blasts going off left, right and centre, sending soldiers unfortunate enough to get caught flying in every direction, helicopters buzzing overhead, the sound of fiercer battles being fought elsewhere. Though the game is supposed to be set in a time and place where everyone with two working arms and legs are handed a weapon and thrust onto the battlefield, you are still very much a one man army and the outcome of the war is still in your hands alone. Though occasionally you do get to fight alongside other allied troops, they are often too few in number and too stupid to navigate the terrain without getting stuck in it.

The action is arcade simplistic. Though lacking in any really challenging opposition, it does throw up masses of enemies to compensate, turning the game in a twitch based affair where a quick trigger finger will win out over any fancy tactics you may otherwise employ. You get the basic FPS package; pistol, shotgun, machinegun, rocket launcher and so on. The pistol is useless, the shotgun feels underpowered, while the flamethrower though devastating in the damage it causes has a poor range and with your sight often blocked by the flames themselves, it can be difficult judging the distance between you and your foes.
