Pariah, released in by Groove Games, is a first-person shooter, the so-called first-person shooter. The protagonist of the game is Dr. Jack Mason, whose task was to transport prisoners by sea, and in particular to protect one of them, i. Karina, the carrier of a mysterious disease. Unfortunately, not everything goes as planned, the ship is shot down.
As a result, Jack ends up on a previously unknown land. In the new area, he has to find Karina, while defending himself against enemies, among whom there are also other prisoners from the ship. The gameplay of Pariah is based on 15 different missions. To defeat them, the player has at his disposal a wide selection of weapons, equipped with with a plasma rifle, sniper rifles or submachine guns.
By using a modified engine in Pariah, the graphics of the game stand at a higher level, and the accurately reproduced world of the hero is just waiting for the brave player to help Dr. Mason set out on his journey into the unknown. Important Information: Abandonwaregames. You might even forgive the few times it degrades to console-licious sequences Pariah was released simultaneously for PC and Xbox.
For example, after battling your way to a turret at the rear of a long, moving train, you're told to fend off drop ships. You man the turret, fire away at drop ship after drop ship, until you think you'll never get back to real, free-form FPS righteousness again. Throughout the game, you catch up to and lose, catch up to and lose, and catch up to and lose Karina. At first, in the semi-engaging storyline written by as the game's marketing puts it "Hollywood script writers," she's frightened and confused and wants nothing to do with Mason.
Later, when she comes to trust and even team up with Mason, the bad guys make it hard to stay together. They do things like take Mason prisoner, and later, swipe Karina from him. Drivable vehicles, which are all the rage lately, punch up the cool factor, especially those armed with powerful weapons. They drive Halo-style, moving whichever direction you're actually facing.
It might have been a better solution to let the mouse move the vehicles' weapon turrets and the WASD keys steer, but Pariah isn't having any part of that. Online play is enjoyable, and the net code is surprisingly smooth, handling lag even upwards of a ms ping with grace.
The usual modes are supported albeit unexplained in the game's skimpy manual , including deathmatch, team deathmatch, CTF, and assault. Unfortunately, online servers are scarce, so hooking up can be a problem. Graphically, Pariah looks splendid. Except for the jaggies created by the lack of anti-aliasing support, the game looks almost as good in its forested world as Far Cry, with a few exceptions.
Water looks terrible and seems to flow in all different directions at once. The outdoor areas are more satisfying than the indoors, because they use the nasty Halo trick: they are mostly made of the same cookie-cutter styles, lacking much in terms of originality. With a ragdoll skeletal system, Pariah's physics match the keen graphics -- watching bodies fly around and crumple to the ground like crash-test dummies when you blow them up is great fun.
Digital Extremes, the outfit responsible for Unreal and Unreal Tournament games, has shown that it's capable of excellent gameplay and sexy graphics engines. It's only a matter of time before this development house knocks a single-player rocket out of the park with a Half-Life level tour-de-force. It just needs to concentrate more on level design, logical puzzles, and instilling its games with other touches of greatness.
