Wondering if a new game is really worth your time? Want to know how you can give the game a fair shake and see the best it has to offer?
That’s where our patented “Must-Do” lists come in…
Yesterday third-person sci-fi shooter “Fracture” shipped to retail stores.
In the game, players will take on the role of a cybernetically-enhanced Atlantic Alliance soldier named Jet Brody fighting the genetically-augmented Republic of Pacifica in a future, war-torn America. The game also offers a variety of weapons, including ones that deform the terrain to help you fight off Pacifician forces (or your buddies in multiplayer mode).
In this week’s “must-do” list, Day 1 Studios‘ lead designer Jeff Gregg and senior producer/art director Dan Hay ran down a few things that you should try in both the campaign and the multiplayer modes of the game. For those of you who speak “Fracture,” here’s the list:
Day 1 Studios Developers’ Must-Do List For Players of
“Fracture”
(Xbox 360, PS3, October 2008)
Campaign:
- Create a whirling dervish by balancing a truck perfectly on top of a spike, and then attach Black Widow rounds to either side. Detonate.
- In Dread Reveal, it is worth your while to try to climb the cross-beam on the Golden Gate Bridge… Hard to do in heavy crossfire, but give it a try!
- In the Tunnels mission, you can stick black widows to the conveyor and send your destructive cargo across the lava pit(s) to kill the enemy.
- In Dread Tower, always be on the lookout for avalanches! This is especially useful on the way up after repairing the bridge. Take the path near the waterfall and shoot PAST the enemies at the avalanche rocks to crush them with one (lucky) shot!
- In Dread Reveal, use the Lodestone to pull enemies into the lava or out of the Dreadnought’s foot.
- In the TD playground, unlock the growler and drive it into the cannon. Launch.
- In the DS Mission near the Hydras it may be worth your while to try to dig into the crashed Alliance dropship near the edge of the gorge…
- In the Southwest missions, use the entrencher to knock Pacificans into the creeper pits.
- Use the Lodestone to draw Pacificans into the beams underneath Washington D.C.
Multiplayer:
- Freeze a foe and then put six black widows on him. Let him go! The only way he can free himself from your trap is to kill you. Bonus points if you let him rush to his friends and THEN detonate to kill them all!
- When running the flag outnumbered remember to take narrow tunnels and seal them behind you with the entrencher! This works especially well in the narrow caves in Solar Winds and Burning Divide.
