Incoming

April 07, 2000

Shooters were once a major genre for video games. Since then, most of us have had our fill and would like to move on to something a little less mindless. Then the occasional game like Nanotech Warrior comes along and provides a high-speed dodge and blow 'em up experience worth renting at the very least. Incoming is not one of those games. When I first played it, I was somewhat interested and amused by gunning down countless alien fighters and tanks, but I lost interest quickly. While most of the missions have actual objectives, like escorting tanks with a helicopter or defending a base from a gun emplacement, it all comes down to the same tedious goal: Shoot 'em up and make sure you finish the job before the next wave rolls in. On top of that, awkward control, so-so graphics, and sluggish vehicles add to the monotony. If you miss the bygone days of blowing up everything that moves in a game with no plot, no complicated objectives, and no real substance, rent this one; but I'd rather eat a cold, three-day old burrito than spend money on Incoming. - Erik, The PC Jedi
