Customer Reviews of Heretic 2
Well designed shooter in a supernatural fantasy world Before I found this game I thought that I was through with first person shooters. After playing just about every version of Doom, Heretic, and Hexen over the years I was pretty much bored with the concept. Plus, the "gritty reality" of Quake 2 really turned me off after only playing it all the way through a couple of times. Then I found Heretic 2, and once again found myself completely immersed in a fantasy world for the first time in years.
The third person interface took a little while to get used to, but now I truly believe that it is the smoothest and most instinctual way to go. Plus, the levels are intricate, detailed, and attractive. You actually look forward to seeing what is around the next corner (as opposed to the grim, repetitious, industrial hell of Quake 2.) Finally, the story line is interesting and satisfying. This game is laid out in a linear manner (no constant backtracking to a common hub) so it works very well with the concept of a quest.
The basic storyline is that Corvus, the hero that slew Serpent Rider and his minions, has returned to Parthoris after an unexpected detour through the outer realms. He finds that the land is revaged by a plague that turns the inhabitants into murderous zombies. It is an artificially created plague resulting from the corrupted efforts of the seraph, Morcalavin, to achieve ascension and immortality.
If you were into the old Heretic and the story of the Sidhe and the Serpent Riders then this game will be a pleasant blast from the past (only with modern high resolution graphics.)
Just another RPG
Having been a big fan of the first Heretic when it was out, as well as playing both Hexen and Hexen 2, I wanted to get this to complete my collection. Unfortunately it's not set up like all of the others.
Setup similar to a Tomb Raider style of control, you have to learn a number of moves with your character. Thus taking away the easy transition in from the earlier game in this series. Don't get me wrong, I actually really love Tomb Raider and other games like it. Though when I went to play this one it just wasn't what I was expecting.
Overall the game is well done once you get used to the new controls. The story line is intriguing and allows you to get more into the game. Graphics and Music are also fairly well done. I was just a little thrown off by the change from what I was used to.
Heretic RULES!!!
This is probably my favorite comuter game. I totally love it. Great action etc. I think people who love "run,jump,slash slash slash" games should get this.
