8.5% is the equivalent of 0.8 out of 10, so a slight difference

Yeah I used babelfish to translate the review and it seems a pretty fair review

English Translation of InsideGamer.nl Review

[x Flashpoint x]

Ok been playing around with the game & the mission editor and i think its a great game for xbox, At first i thought the controls were a bit sencetive but i got used to them now and it feels just right for this type of game.

The mission editor is good but not great, But it does the job ***

The look of the game is fantastic.

Overall score 9/10 ***BI have done a great job to port it over to the xbox and it works great on xbox.

Got to get back as i am making a sector Control game for MP.




Sorry just noticed i have posted this in the wrong thread.

I found what I think is a new review (not the best) with screenshots I've never seen before:

Pigeon English Translation:

"I break down myself again in a war. This time is it the turn to the cold war. I play of course an American who what has more in its top then only voetsoldaatje to be. I have this play centuries suffered on the PC. still played. It was then the most realistic shooter which you could find. To look at if it is on the Xbox also this way.

"Such as I already said you play a soldaatje. Standard with M16A2 and a couple grenades equipped contract you the fight with the Russians. For the a or other reason they attack a borough on the small island where you sit occasional also. Perhaps the this, however, beginning of the third world war is. The Americans feel themselves of course called there what to put on. But firstly basic training, differently barge you of it on the battle field shooter nothing which you could find. To look at if it is on the Xbox also this way.

"Pay attention to the way!

"This must be, however, the most idiot basic training which I have done ever. [The idiot doesn't realize that the training sequence in Cold War Crisis isn't Basic Training. ***Does he see any Drill Sergeants with Smokey the Bear hats on? ***--Uziyahu] ***Course by a couple hekjes and concerning a beam by a door, shoots down 3 aims and that was it, however, approximately. That I myself could have found also from. Control is, as it happens, nearly right to those of other shooters. I have, however, learned that I of fisrt-person can switch to third-person. But well, the basic training are not this way terrible. It happens a time and afterwards never more. And thereby comes once more that it but 5 takes minutes of your speeltijd. Afterwards you can ride for the first time in a lorry. It remains nevertheless always nice if you can control vehicles in shooter. You cannot send, your hands continue on the quarter for three stand whereas the wheel keeps turning quietly your hands. Your officer can drive really complete well. He drives more on the grass then on the way and he does not have so much attention to the way. He looks at more often by means of the they side to or he looks at you then that he pays attention to the way. But nevertheless weet he exact the turnings to find. Best funny for sim.

"To hand in The game sits full of these errors. To be it there a couple, then does not disturb it me this way terrible, but you encounter them everywhere. Guns people their poor, guns which are not held, legs in the back seat of the car, goes this way but by. And then graphic "splendour" in itself. The game does not see real nicely. Nearly everything are blokkerig and move strangely although some textures are best well. The grass has been very oddly reflected, if you run it considers as a large, green asphalt road, but as soon as you passing away see lie you all grassprietjes for your. Small woods do not sit you in the way, you run there simply doorheen. In my eyes had been possible everything better. I understand also that you what must hand in if you mega make large maps, but liver then alstublieft what on the size and not so much on graphics.

"To pant The size of the maps is also something exaggerated (except in mulitplayer, then it is nice). Especially if you must go but to one objective. You do not will walk away on one and a half kilometre distance your objective to attack them this way of. This does not do you because you do not go along squad then as a result of which you there therefore only stand for and because it lasts terribly long before you are there. You do not come, as it happens, zomaar a car against where you can go just as in times. You the complete end finely must run. And that type rises moments you badly you are how in fact trained. You take astonishing small steps if you run and as a result are you within the shortest keren to to pant as an average marathon cursor which is exactly ready with 42 kilometres. Still just as small dingetje mention what, however, nice is. Is never the same such as you start up level. This game has dynamically. The one time regent it and the other time seem the zonnetje. Terrible cool done.

"Chicken without head

"Already panting you your objective recover, to consider you to your fright also once more enemies to run. This becomes narrow. It is sim. And that would have will mean that the antagonist weet what he must do if it is shot there on him. Now weet I of course how the Russians are trained, but it seems me very improbable that them as a chicken without head will run around if there gun fire sounds. There sit of course also a couple malignant guests who return lie, however, and shoot. Unfortunately for them can you better aim and she as from the first confrontation to have been already doomed to lose. Thanks to good auto-aim the system shoot you are not already made too difficult. You passing away with your cursor on or ventje to hang and he changed of colour. Because of this you can see already easily or you in the buurt sit of an antagonist. As soon as the cursor changed of colour meant it that you still a small beetje must adapt before you shoot home. The computer takes over it of you as soon as very dense or at the body of the antagonist aim you. The leuke are that you zoom in also option have as a result of which does not look at you along course of your gun. And with that option auto-aim work also still. If you nevertheless choose for the option to look at along your gun, hem you approximately as much in but auto-aim then no longer work. You make yourself it in fact only more difficult.

"Still menuutje

"In the game you do nearly everything doormiddel of actions. Those can you very easily choose from menuutje that Right at the bottom of picture appears as soon as you can do something. Things such as your weapon on your back always do are possible but in cars steps also do you by means of that menu. There is therefore no standard action bud with which you do everything automatically. The controls to work all very well. With that I means that they are well placed and that they do what they must do. Unfortunately the game reacts sometimes what slowly on your decisions. Still even something concerning menuutjes. Before you are present at last in the game you must nevertheless as much as a couple menus by. And in fact you not even read all those things. The card which you can examine does not get you nevertheless and the weapons which you can determine molars also nothing for course of the level. The objectives which are also indicated whereas you play what all those menus nevertheless as much as a beetje superfluous make.

"Where file I now actual?

"I have not yet had it concerning the sound. In fact I do not want it also kinder have. That is this way terrible dramatic. If you shoot it sounds as if you are with your proppenschieter in an empty barrel, if you control vehicles latches which very vaporous. It does not sound as a vehicle, but if the vehicle where you drive now in. Actual is that with everything this way. Your weet that it sounds as what where you are, but it sounds exactly something else. And then I it means not this way well.

"War?

"By all these things I have never had the feeling that I in a war was myself. The gameplay were ordinary something too slow. Everything went puntje for puntje. You are never endangered really, never once hostile squad which came accidentally from an unexpected angle as a result of which you were yourself middle in a spervuur. The danger always came but of a side. And that with auto-aim have been this way solved. There is also never a chaos like in Brothers in arm. No shouting people for your gone and none panicking enemies. No gun fire everywhere for your gone, I missed the complete idea of war. It can be then perhaps sim, but a beetje the action can thicken none angry for plays pleasure seems me.

Pluspunten - Large maps; - 40 governable vehicles; - Dynamically

Minuses - Slow gameplay; - Sound and graphics; - Best easy for sim.

GV judgement If I want play large field layers, I play kinder Battlefield and if I want play serious soldaatje, I play kinder Ghost Recon or BiA. In short, this game comes late, there its many better games on the market.

So the assumption is there is absolutely no one interested in playing a realistic game set on large, dynamic battlefields. Quite an intelligent review!

heh... he might not be all wrong though.

Most sim-lovers would never set a leg any place near a console - including the x-box.

Maybe this will change though

[Acecombat]

The translation was rib cracking stuff ... 'i break myself down in war again' .

[Heatseeker]

Not a very good review that was , but i will admit that i honestly didnt like my first OPF experience either (V1.0 was scary).. its the sort of game that will grow on people that give it a fair chance and explore it properly, not many reviews speak about all you can do in this game that you cant do in any other game out there .

[Postduifje]

For a moment there I was considering of translating it properly, but after completely reading it I can assure you it's a really crappy review, not worth any further look. The author obvious was searches for something else when he played it, uses short, childlike sentences and regularly makes a really stupid remark. Not worth the effort of reading it, let alone translating.

[SpecOp9]

Appears he was too busy talking about all the bad things about the game.
