Graphics & Sound
That’s another thing to smile about. Preserving the top quality high-resolution textures, high-polygon models, and fluid character movements, People Can Fly have also added dynamic lightning offering per-pixel specular mapping and shadowing, bloom which unlike Invisible War is done properly, and warp effects such as heat and haze distortion. Water effects have also been improved, showing all surroundings accurately and even reflecting the fire from the flamethrower. Everything looks spectacular, and knowing the fast performance of the engine even on a Ti4200 I’d rate it one of the best of the year.
Apart from the music which wasn’t as good as before, sound is excellent. The enemy’s grunts and shouts and the non-battle ambient tracks add to the atmosphere. Sometimes it can be unsettling especially during the opening level which sent chills down my spine. The rest of the package is more than capable in delivering the right sounds, so overall there was no real let down.
Replay Value
Replay value is not bad for this type of game. You will more than likely need to replay a level to get its corresponding tarot card or to complete it on Trauma difficulty. That’s where the difference between good and insanely good players lies. The ‘5-start challenge’ or finishing a level 100% is also an incentive. Or just play it again because the game is so much fun.
Multiplayer
A couple of standard modes have been added, Last Man Standing and Capture the Flag, bringing the total modes to an impressive eight. Netcode’s lag problems have been improved as well with very low pings almost everywhere. There’s now a Warm-Up system, allowing you to move around while you’re waiting for everyone to get ready; before you had to sit and look at the info screen. Spectating has also been allowed, giving you the chance to watch a match without participating. Another new feature is the Voting System; you can now call a vote using the console. All in all those are welcome additions but won’t save the multiplayer from obsolescence. Pity it’s quite unpopular, so it’s hard to find players and hard to find servers with constant users, or in most cases impossible to find. At the moment I’m writing this, there are exactly 33 players online, a real shame because there is so much potential.
Conclusion
Just a few last words to sum up what I’ve been trying to say so far: Battle out of Hell is a must buy to those that enjoyed the original. Hardcore fans should already own it, and everyone else will miss out on another great game yet again.
Pros:
-Graphic engine updates
-Creative and enjoyable levels and monsters
-New multiplayer additions
-More of the excessive and intense action
Cons:
-Unprofessional cut-scenes
-Long load times
