<a href="http://www.xpd8.net/">XPD8.net</a> has <a href="http://www.xpd8.net/reviews.asp?id=220">reviewed</a> the
post apocalyptic game <a href="http://www.mayhem.sk/index.php?l=2000&r=2000">Shadow Vault</a>.&#160; They
don't appear to like it too much.

<blockquote><em>I had some high hopes for Shadow Vault.
Reading the website, and box, it sounded like company Mayhem Studios
was trying to get the niche market of the people longing for the next
installment of the Fallout series.

Well, a better term for it is copy Fallout. The
game uses the same static art backdrops as the Fallout series, and does
a pretty good job at that, however, that's pretty much where the
similarities end.

The game is played in an RTS type setting, each
person has Action Points (AP) and can move, or perform actions
depending on how many AP's you have left. After you've done all you've
wanted, or don't have anymore AP's left, then it's the AI's turn to
kill you.

This game tries to take the best from RTS games
like Fallout and Fallout Brotherhood of Steel (BHoS), even down to the
look of the interface, but it seems like this part was rushed, or not
finished.
</em></blockquote>So
<em>Fallout</em> is an RTS now?&#160; Neato.&#160;
Final verdict?:
<blockquote><em>While
the game strives to pick up where Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel left
off, it does a pretty bad job of it. It tried, and falls flat.

</em></blockquote>Does worse that <em>Brotherhood of Steel</em>?&#160; OUCH.&#160; Stay clear of this game, it seems.


Thanks for the tip <strong>Slaughter</strong>.

RTS, what the hell? The review is as bad as the game, it seems. How fitting.

Indeed. May very well be that this game is as bad as the review claims, but the review is a joke! Wouldn't have bothered with mentioning it if it wasn't for the fact that it's the first review I've seen.

It was worth reading it for the laugh.
