Tarr Chronicles Reviews
I liked the storyline and plot. Good game overall. Gameplay can get a little repetitive, but the graphics and controls are really very good.
The game play was enjoyable, story wasn't very well explained and it seemed short. The flight controls are good and simple, just as I like it. Now the only problem I have with this game is the dialog. Just makes me beg for a better understanding.
I do have somewhat of a idea but it's rather vague. I like being able to customize my ship and having different ships to choose from, such as a whole array of weapons, shields, engines, armor types and even special devices you can construct by disassembling existing parts. Did some research and found a "language patch" that is suppose to clear the dialog up a bit. I'm running Vista Home premium with 1.8ghz Duo core, 3.5gigs of ram and (a nothing special) Nvidia GeForce 8300gs. Game seemed to run perfect (all high settings )with a few moments of lag here and there. Overall I am enjoying this game. Don't think I'll replay it but I'll be looking out for a Tarr Chronicles 2 and hope for better results.
I believe I'm about halfway through the game and I'm having a hard time keeping up with whats going on in the story. From what I can gather the story is really interesting. Not really excited about this game. This is my first review for anything, so here we go.
The graphics are excellent but not ground breaking by any means. I just get thrown into missions and fighting against aliens and I have no idea why. Like telling a story and skipping paragraphs and/or entire pages. They really need to do a better job at explaining the story and describing what events are taking place.
Rarely does Tarr crash but not enough for me to want to throw the game out the window. To give you an idea what I was talking about, the patch is over 500mb. OVERALL:.
