Execution problem easily fixed....

It has been noted by a lot of reviewers that this will not execute properly. Leaving them with a nice coaster for company. That problem is easily remedied. First, please make sure that you are the legal owner of your own copy of PsychoToxic. Otherwise, this is not legal. If you are a legal owner, just install the program. Do not reboot the computer yet. Go to gamecopyworld.com and find the game under its' own title. There is a download there that is called a NOCD for the ENGLISH version of the program. You do not want the GERMAN. It won't work for US versions of the game. Download those files and copy them over the files in the 'BIN' folder of the PsychoToxic directory. If you are doing this correctly, you will receive a notification asking if you want to copy over the old file. You want to say 'Yes to all' for each time you are asked that question. When you are done, find the .EXE file in the 'BIN' folder and click on it. If your game runs, remove the CD. Put the CD away and enjoy your game without it. You see, the problem with the game not executing properly is not with the game itself. It is with the COPY PROTECTION. If the copy protection finds anything on your computer it does not like, it will not allow you to run the game. That is just flat out wrong. This game is HIGHLY addictive and fun. Some of the graphics are quite similar to AMERICAN MCGEE'S ALICE PC game. Very colorful and atmospheric. This is essentially a straightforward shooter starring a quite seductive and quite deadly, female assassin. Dream sequences that pull out thoughts of Max Payne and the original Half-Life PC games. High quality voice acting. Large and very creative levels. Challenging AI. SO-SO music. And acceptable gun effects. The weaponry is very stylish. Often with very detailed engravings on the weapons themselves. I predict that, if you are a fan of straight-on shooters, you will be addicted before finishing level 3. Also, quite surprised at how high quality such a cheap game can be. Grab it before it goes away. It is worth the small amount of effort to circumvent the copy protection. I assure you, it will run if you use that downloaded file properly. Good luck. And, have fun! UPDATE : IT IS NOW 2008. The download in my review may not be available any longer. Please consider searching another location on the internet for it if it is not on www . gamecopyworld . com . The NOCD patch is an essential for most folks who want to enjoy this program. oo many glitches in the copy protection otherwise. Good luck and good gaming!

Serious bugs - No support

I bought this game and have tried everything to get it to run.

It constanly kicks me out of the game when it switches from opening sceen (Angie is watching the news) and when it switches over to FBI. I made sure I had the latest drivers for my video and audio. I have downloaded the latest patch from Whiptail Interactive, which does not support this product. They instead give you an Email address to the developers over in Europe. I am still waiting to hear back from them.

I have more then the minimum requirements (3 GHz, 1 G RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro)

I have never had a game perform this badly and the lack of support is appalling.

A very, very badly done budget FPS title

I love 1st person shooters, but this is easily the most amateurish, poorly executed game I have ever played. It has unbelievably bad graphics, laughably substandard character movements, awful voice acting, boring and unrealistic action sequences, dreadful sound, appallingly bad movie cut scenes, inferior weapon realism, totally unpolished game play, a buggy game engine, etc, etc. Gamers might have been quite amazed at Phychotoxic 12 years ago (I.E.: just *before* the original DOS Doom came out), but now the lack of even the most basic modern gaming software quality in this title implies that it was probably created by two or three mediocre programmers in their home basement (or perhaps the game's company ran out of money mid way through its creation?). Indeed, this is the only game in recent memory that I played for 20 minutes, and then threw immediately into the trash can.

Liked the Game...Support NOT good !!

The game had a different style to it...something different from other FPS games...BUT I probably will NOT buy another game from Nuclear Vision, because I emailed them..and never got a response from them.

low budget fun

I'll just jump right in here. Played this game 90%, was pretty fun. The graphics are pretty horrible, and character animation was awful! The voice acting was some of the worst! With the exception of the spiritual stuff, and the dream sequences, the level design was pretty neat, with interactive junk scattered around. For example, a hallway with pictures on the wall, your blasting at some enemies, and hit a couple pictures and they fall to the ground, and sense they are physics enabled, some of em flop over, and some of em are propped against the wall.. pretty neat stuff. Overall, I liked the game, the chick in it is pretty damn hot to, they did a great job modeling her.

I am suprised to see that ANYONE could even get to the opening screen on this piece of junk. All this thing does is crash. I have tried unsuccessfully to give it away over seven {7} times each time it returns with another reason;i.e. my antivirus thought it was malware,it hung with pulling the plug on the machine to unfreeze it,etc. it wasn't worth the 3 bucks i paid for it at Big Lots. Nice box art though. ha!

Poor and Useless

Just read the other comments of this game. "Locked up every time that I tried to run it!" Now I'm the one to diss because of graphics but man, this was just the worst...

The German version was good!

I played the German Version on DVD shortly after the first demo came out to America. I liked the demo despite some game AI shortcomings so I went in search of the full game but could only get it from Europe. I had pretty good game gear on my rig at the time and played with all the graphics tuned up and it looked on par with most of the medium end titles of the time. I don't recall having all the problems reported on the US version at all. Maybe it lost something in translation or they cut it down to fit the US CD format. I can't be sure but I found it a good shooter and enjoyed the dream sequences. The dream sequences really stand out as they offer a wide variety of strangeness from black and white 1900's movies to kiddie cartoons to just plain drug induced nightmares. I should also mention the game offers very large maps both indoor and outdoor. So go get the DVD version and enjoy.

Just TRY and play this game..

Bugs, bugs, bugs... This game is loaded with them. The graphics are terrible - awful clipping problems. Every 10 minutes the game would crash, BOOM! No fun at all.

Don't buy this waste of code..
