Section 8 reviews

For a shooter, it's definitely got unique features, mostly due to the futuristic time period and the way it portrays that. It's missing any split-screen multiplayer, both versus and co-op (but so are most games these days =/ ). Personally I thought it was good, definitely decent.

Yes that's right, Section 8 brings back all my memories from Battlefield: Vietnam with some interesting twists. Basically all the main gameplay is in the Instant Battles and Multiplayer Battles. Section 8, in place of a tutorial, has a short story-mode that eases the player into the game. Key differences to the Battlefield Series that one should take not of:

1. It's in the future
2. Like in Halo you have an energy shield, and mega armour….. that and you're in the future.
3. No aircraft, tanks and mechs instead.
4. Customizable loadouts, main and side weapons, armour and shield buffs, and even proficiency upgrades. Thousands of combinations.
5. Implemented AI that are actually smart on ALL difficulties.

Though the game looks fun to play singleplayer, the best experiences come from playing multiplayer through System Link or XBox Live.
I would highly recommend that you buy this game.heck buy two copies so your friends can play too.

I believe the creators of this game were trying to get into Halo's market, with some really nice improvements, such as the jetpacks, and really cool vehicles and deployables.

There is just something about the game that just doesn't do it for me, i have it on 360 and pc, and they both seem to miss something.

Im not sure if its the games engine, but the gameplay seems strange in some way.

Also another downpoint is that it does not have local multiplayer, it has online an system link multiplayer, but not multiplayer on the one console, which would have greatly increased its replay value for me.

Overall its alright, the storyline is rather cliched, i played it for a day and haven't played it since (finished the storyline and started multiplayer)

It's a good shooter but never quite feels great.

The sensitivity is weird. It just didn't feel as natural as other games like Gears of War, or Halo 3. I can't quite put my finger on it, I always seemed to be fighting the controller to look where I wanted.

As for the gameplay, it was fun but I felt like it needed more development time. The focus definitely seems to be on online play, but if like me you're after a single player shooter then this doesn't really hit the mark. The campaign is short and feels like a long training level so you have some experience at the game before jumping online.

For all Halo lovers this the best and most affordable way to get more of that Halo fuel into ya!

This game is a great FPS but the storyline is way too short so youll only play it once

Had fun with this cheap game

All I can say is Meh, its been done before and done alot better than this dont pay full price but might give you something to play if you get it for 10 bucks

This game just does not have any magic

If you are looking for a good single player FPS look elsewhere as the single campaign has rather poor AI for the enemy bots and a very weak capture the flag and defend it plot. But if you want a good solid online deathmatch against other players Section 8 shouldn't disappoint.

Its a great 1st person shooter with a hint of strategy tied in with it, the campaign is a bit short but the online play is very good

Great game loved every minute of it. Mainly because you can be fighting in the skies one momment then battleing it out on the ground in the next :D 5/5

Imangine that bungie and epc joined together to bring you an awesome game that has the best multiplayer experience possible.

Now that I've got your attention you need to know that this has not happend and section 8 is most defiantly nowhere near as good as a final product would be if epic and bungie actually made a game together.

In short this game is similar feel to unreal tournament 3 wthout the edge. Like halo with the same sort of graphics but section 8 fails with little vehicles that are interesting. The levels for multiplayer are dry for the eyes and the gaming soul and worst of all I hate to say this but this game shouldnt of come out at all. It would of been good 4 years ago.

In short if your looking for a way to kill your self creativly, give this game a go. You might die from boredom.

Section 8 was a good game for the first few hours but after that it became to reptitive and there was no variety in the gameplay

The reviews for the game were good but it gets repetitive, dropping in on the same spot because you can't go anywhere else and getting killed by the same guy half a dozen times isn't doesn't make enjoyable game play

Brought this for a gift because it was such a great deal.

dont buy this, its all the same over and over and just when you think its due for an exciting twist…nothing happens.

you drop from the sky, land and shoot. Onto the next level!
drop from sky, land, shoot and all the rest of the levels ARE JUST LIKE THIS!!

Its simply one of the MOST REPETETIVE GAMES IVE EVER PLAYED!!

If you do buy this however, i will pray that you will be given your money back, because this game is a Disappointment, with a capital D!

Dont mind this game, bit wierd, but easy to get use to.

I found section 8 to be a very run of the mill shooter that has been done so much better by other titles, to aspire towards Halo is good but you really have to hit the mark set by Bungies epic saga

Great shooter! the gamer score is achieved mainly online which is great if you play the online shooters and fancy a change from COD or Halo :)

I love my first person shooters, and after watching the clip for this game have decided to add it to my list of 10 most wanted.

will be buying this for sure just to put it through its paces.

if the clip is anything to go by i think it will be awesome and i cant wait to try it.

Mighty Ape will be getting my business for this game too if my prior order is fulfilled without fail. Its so nice to not have to leave the house and battle the crowds and screaming kids in game stores. Mighty Ape you rock!
