Upon entering the computer market, I was interested in computer games, and therefore purchased a shareware cd that had 100s of game demos one of them being operation body count.
The game is first person shooter and was the first one I played at the time. Although the demo was short, it proved to be very challenging, as terrorist attack you with many different weapons ranging from flame throwers to machine guns. Luckily you can equip yourself with these deadly weapons and throughout the game.
The action takes place in New York City, in building where you fight terrorists that fight in the name of Allah.
The game was a lot of fun and had great graphics for its time. The game also featured interesting background music that was catchy for I can still recall the tune to this day. The game also featured sound effects for the guns you’re firing, and dead sounds for your own deaths in addition to the enemies you killed.
The building consists of vast hallways and many rooms such as libraries, and you can clear the rooms before you are able to go to the next floor of the building. This proved to be a challenging task. Although the enemies do not have sufficient AI, this is made up for through quantity as you have to challenge many enemies at once in often small crowded rooms. One
enemy was shirtless, had a white turban and fired two flamethrowers that would instantly kill you should you encounter him without your notice. The game also had enemies appear randomly.
Although this was a good game, it is not very popular due to the nature of the game. In addition to being violent, the enemies were stereotyped terrorists, and they screamed the name of there Islamic god Allah when attacking and upon death as well. If however you do not find this to be controversial, or you are not offended by this time of game, and you are in the mood for an old classic first person shooter game with very realistic guns, then this game could be the game for you. Keep in mind the game contains violent material and is not intended for children.
