This time its Survival 303 vs WWII - Battle for Carentan
Basically in these reviews, two places are put together and marked, the winner is the one that wins the most rounds! Since the last time some updates have been made to the system. Overall has been replaced by Enjoyment. Also Playability has become Gameplay.
In this game you go around foraging for things and then crafting items with them. Its a nice idea for a game and certainly very original. It is a breath of fresh air.
Gameplay: 7/10
The game GUI is very intuitive though I found it took some time to craft good items. There is a nice thirst, hunger and health GUI. But I will get onto that soon. Crafting is a real pain for beginners like me. I couldn't seem to make anything. Thirst was quite hard to work out until I clicked on a river and drank. This game is so complicated that beginners can feel slightly dwarfed, but once you get the hang of it, it is fun to play.
Scripting: 10/10
The scripting in this game is very, very good. The health and hunger guis work perfectly and there is a great chat rather than the normal one. The game is very well scripted and all the scripts seem to work perfectly, which you would expect from such a popular game, a prequel to the very famous Survival 404, which has over 1,000,000 visits.
Enviroment: 5/10
The enviroment in the game isn't great unfortunately. While it seems most of the time has been spent on scripting the game, the enviroment is certainly showing that its been neglected. The trees are very basic, and so is the sea. The game is very varied, as you can see below.
Enjoyment: 7/10
The game is fun when you have got alot of things, but when you are just starting out it can be difficult to learn how to play. So overall, it is quite fun when you have crafted enough, but in the first few minutes, it can be quite boring and repetitive.
Idea: 7/10
The game is a war game, and there has been alot of those in the past, so it's not entirely original.
However, the game setting is new and what it contains makes it a rather enjoyable game.
Gameplay: 9/10
Its fun and easy to play, just enter the game and choose your class, there are many available. Personally, I think the recon class is very overpowered, you can easily no-scope people with it. There are control points to capture, and this makes for very entertaining gameplay.
Scripting: 7/10
There is some scripting in this game. The guns are scripted, the Capture Points are scripted and so are the game rounds (which finish after 50 kills) However, it is not script heavy and does use alot of textures to make the game good. There are not many GUI's and this makes a nice clean interface which is easy to use.
Enviroment: 9/10
The map is rather small, and that is all I have to say about what is wrong with it. Apart from that the game is amazingly detailed. Theres been a very high use of decals and this makes for a great gameplay experience, and feels super-realistic.

Enjoyment: 8/10
The game is really enjoyable. It is very easy to start playing and you feel a sense of acomplishment when you kill that enemy, or you win the game. However, there are only 8 players per game; which makes it fairly quiet at times. Also, the map is fairly small and can become boring after a while.
FINAL SCORES.
