We need Dan to curse at real-time strategy games, we need Stephen to wander away from his desk for hours on end, and we need me to threaten inanimate objects with bodily harm as if they were real and could be coerced. If each of us did not fulfill our own distinct roles with vigilance, we'd not operate as unsuccessfully as we do. When playing a team-based action title, it's of some importance to fulfill a role in the team. Those days, though.hot damn will they be fun. It's the slick allure of squad-based action, for sure, but it's so little, and so much like its progenitor in so many different ways, that when taken as a product on its own, it will certainly be passed by in a matter of days or even weeks. When coupled together, the changes, additions, and combination of newness/familiarity (like playing a sequel to a beloved game) are compelling reasons to invest time in play, but won't be enough to convince the invisible girlfriend that she needs to provide more space and time to allow for a little unadulterated Battlefield action on the weekends. It retains enough to be familiar and it also manages to add some things that just don't sit well with avid players of the original. But does a cost of zero and an exploding Nazi make the game good?Įnemy Territory is all the glory of Wolfenstein multiplayer only different and with some more, yet with some less. If you survive and get up when the smoke clears, the fact that you're doing it all for free and are still about to relish in the destruction of another is more than enough to make this package worth the price of admission, which is still absolutely nothing. The satisfaction of valiantly covering an air strike marker with your own body to prevent falling explosive death from obliterating the hapless squad of persistently charging marines you call comrades is also pretty damn neat. Free is also one of the more endearing qualities of Enemy Territory. But that's better than 50 bucks for the first game and 20 for the expansion. Just pay for an Internet connection, a thousand dollar PC and likely a subscription to some random downloads site to get it. Don't worry, sweetie, unless "Dunce69666" is on the server and representing the retarded, team-killing donkeys of the world, the Enemy Territory experience won't be anything like getting a playfully molesting, sweaty hug from Tal (the equivalent of falling down stairs while being kicked in the crotch just after a slap to the face from a relative of Dan's you were just intimate with). The way she sees it, slaps in the face, kicks to the crotch, falls down the stairs, and a roll with any of Dan's relatives are all free, but none of these are something a sound of mind, typically frail gamer would seek out and enjoy. But (here comes that mom voice I've dreaded for so many years), "A lot of what can be described as free can also be described as syphilitic in quality." Mom is a fountain of knowledge.
