Not Xbox Material

I live in Japan, and since there's about 20 games out for the Xbox here, I picked up this one. I have to say that this is the worst game I've played for the Xbox, and the only one I've traded in. I never trade in games, but this one is something that belongs on pre-PSX hardware. The dungeons are all flat paneled, straight out of Wolfenstein. The fight scenes are slow and repetitive, and get boring after twenty minutes. Characters aren't very interestingly drawn, which isn't too bad, since there are no central characters anyways. The story is non-existent. Even the CGI is ugly. It entertained me for half an hour, and I spent 2000 yen on it, so it scrapes up one star.

Worst Xbox Title..period

I can't believe how bad this game is. All the previews and demos made it look great. Then I actually bought the game and was completely disappointed.

The graphics are ok, though too polygonal and plastic for my liking. The gameplay is beyond simple, just walk around a randomly generated dungeon and kill things. Combat is handled automatically by the computer, or you can do some basic manual control to fight the enemies off, but not much.

There is literally no plot. You just hack around the dungeons killing things.

Blah!

This is almost too bland to call it an RPG. It is highly repetitive. Level after level you combat the enemy, collect some stuff, repeat ad naseam. This is the second worst game for Xbox (see Pulse Racer for first place on this one).

It has a few good points, but....

Many people have said it already: this game is repetitive. Much of the game uses the same graphics. The "real time battle system" is novel at first but gets boring after a while. The game has decent music but it gets old after a while. Like I said the repitition kills it.

What the game has going for it is randomness. You won't get bored exploring the dungeon, because it's always different. The item chests are all random, so you could get stuck with bad equipment, or get lucky and find something cool.
There's also some strategy to the game. You get to make up a party of up to five characters, and you get to pick the class for each of them. (You can also pick a face type, and alter the body shape, but these features are kinda a joke.) There are also five other "hidden" classes you can change to part way through the game.

One cool thing is when your party dies their bodies are put into a cyrogenic morgue thing, and you have to start a new party to retrieve them. Only problem is it's to easy to just load your game. Just be sure to save often.

Bottom line: this game has it's good points... but they don't out weigh the bad ones. Probably the only people who'd like this game are those who play Diablo II for hours and hours, just trying to find items and make characters.

Don't buy this game!

Overall, a huge disappointment. The AI stinks and the combat system is terrible. Graphics are the only decent part but cannot overcome serious flaws in the game ... keep this game at arms length.

Great gfx, Monotonous...

For starters, im a huge rpg fan, I have Gamecube, Ps2, and Xbox. And honestly xbox is the most expensive paperweight ive ever purchased. Metal Dungeon Has excellent graphics, But the battle system is basically automatic, and all you do is clear out dungeons full of cyborgs, so basically youre just doing the same thing over and over and over again. I got this game because i was hoping maybe xbox put out a decent game besides Halo. I suggest to anyone not to mke the same mistake i did, and if you're going to buy any xbox games, read EGM and make sure its not junk :)

Dont beleive this [] dude.

Ok, im from America, and ive have the demo disc form OXM and the game looks [] awesome, the fight scenes look great and the levels are a hell of a lot better than wolfeinsein.
i do agree the cgi could be better, but in game graphics is a bigger deal, not psx [], psx couldnt handle this at all.
shut ur face, stupid liar, probably live in kentucky or sumthing

this game is so stupid you should not buy it. i wouldnt get this game even if it costs a dollar. the games view is a sky view and it looks like a little kids game. you dont even tell your characters what to do when battling they do it without you telling them. you dont control the fighting. this game is just plain out dumb. i advise you not to waist [money] on this game like i did because it [is bad]!!!!

This game has no plot whatsoever and is the same boring grey throught-out the game. Capcom didn't put enough of efort into th is and could have done better.

The most boring game ever... whichever executive decided to release this turkey should be fired. If you're thinking about buying this thing, play Dark Alliance again instead.
