Osta Ubersoldier II

Possibly the most absurd cutscenes and unintentionally hilarious voiceacting ever. The gameplay is a mixed bag of filling your 'stab Nazis in the face' combo meter and savestating your way through instant death artillary barrage. Worth every headache when you get to the final boss.

Ubersoldier II is pretty much another generic linear first person shooter. All the guns operate more or less the same. The movement is Uberclunky. There is no auto-save during each level so if you die and didn't quicksave it, you get to start all over again. The story is Ubercomical, yet almost seems Uberserious at times. The graphics and textures are Uberugly even at HD resolutions.

You get XP during levels based on kill streaks to level up your Uberness which amounts to an Uberbullet shield, more health, additional accuracy, or longer Uberness. If you score 3 headshots in succession, your next headshot will rank you an Ubersniper granting you invincibility, unlimited ammo, and Uberaccuracy for a short time. If you score 3 melee kills in a row, your next melee kill will set you in a beserker rage where you just insta kill anyone that comes in contact with your knife. The skills are actually useful since there are endless hordes of Ubernazis that continue to spawn, sometimes even behind you in that last room you just cleared.

Overall, Ubersoldier II is an Ubercheesy first person shooter that pretty much Uberstinks. I only dropped six quarters on it, but I'm still trying to convince myself that it was money well spent.

Solid old school fps, nothing great nothing bad.

This game is the Sharknado of games. You play it because it is just good stupid fun. The Notebook had a better opening car chase than this game, and the rest is just easy, silly fun. If your computer was made after 2002, you can probably play this, but watch out, changing the resolution can crash it until the computer is restarted. For a dollar, or 1.09 canadian like I bought it for (Still hate steam for the switch) the game is worth it; much more of a dollar's worth than angry birds on your phone.

This game is not bad at all. When i saw the price o thought it was some C class game. But it's actually very good!

11/10 nazi car did a backflip, would buy again...twice!

I guess you could call this a guilty pleasure of mine. While this game has a lot of faults and is pretty bad, I just can't say I didn't have fun while playing it. Ubersoldier II is a satisfying game, with a style that reminds you of bad 80's action films. If this game is on sale, get it! This game is a riot and isn't the worst game out there.

This game is the rare breed of game know as "so bad its good." It's worth playing.

Scores:

Functionality/Playability: 4/10 Not so near broken mess
Gameplay: 7/10 Solid,but could have been so much better
Visuals: Don't really matter so rate how YOU want
Soundtrack: 3/10 Dull and uninteresting or out of place
Fun and Enjoyment: 8/10 (Seriously! Just trust me in my review)
Overall Score: 6/10 But really worth playing

The mechanics are pretty similar to a average fps, aside from a wierd default keybinding (try binding knife to space and sprint to shift and jump to e since you will rarely use it). The skill point system works well. melee gives you more points than headshots. If done correctly, you can finish a mission with 30+ skill points (the most I've ever gotten during a mission was 34) to spend on Health, Energy, Uber Shield, Emotion Time (crying and screaming while going on your invinsible murderous rampage) and Accuracy for the next mission. Helpful tip: max out accuracy ASAP! Your accuracy at the start of the game will be atrocious! Once you've done that, you'll be getting hundreds of headshot without even trying using automatic rifles and lmgs. Afterwards, upgrade everything else to your heart's contents (you won't have to worry about stasis shield unless your trying to become MLG with dope trick shots). Especially that emotion time! The SS or whatever will cower in fear as you slaughter their comrades while in tears crying like a baby (an invincible homicidal baby). The game's AI is.. interesting. They'll try to kill you but,, (for a better explaination, check out the gameplay from Inside Gaming on Youtube parts 1-4. You can go all the way to part 8 if you just want to watch Adam suffer while Bruce and James do their thing).

The cutscenes are interesting, but are often either confusing or just flat out make no sense. They may or may not make you question your sanity. The game explains what exactly is going on; so luckily, you won't have to play whatever garbage the first Ubersoldier might have been.

Lastly, the game's bosses (*SPOILER ALERT: Their are only four and you will be glad their are only four. Six if you count the two types of minis.)

Now, about the bosses (*NOT A SPOILER: JUST A HELPFUL TIP) The strategies you need to defeat them is simple for everyone of the except for phase three of the last boss. As James from Inside Gaming explains perfectly in part 6 of their gameplay on YouTube: "You just shoot 'em." No puzzles, no QTEs, or anything; just shoot 'em 'til they die. It may seem like its not working since their's NO INDICATOR OF ACTUAL DAMAGE (blood!) As Bruce pointed out after Adam defeated the first boss; even though every enemy you've fought beforehand has bled when you filled them with bullets and shrapnel. And its actually the only thing that works. Trust me and James. Its all that works so don't bother trying anything else!

Despite the game's bad (not quite terrible) functionality, the game is fun. I'm not sure how to explain it. It's just fun! Actually it might have something to do with feeling like a god when your emotion time kicks in from being a badass and start a murderous rampage during your temporary invinsibility. As well as watching the AI struggle to figure out how to kill you without killing themselves in a hilarious fashion. Like I said from the start of my review; this game is the rare breed known simply as: "Its so bad, its good."

Well This game is totally ♥♥♥♥. I bought fir 1 euro and Im surprised for bad way.

madness.

I dont know why I got this game but my time with it was pretty good.

Oh man this game lol. While there are some fun parts, the majority of the game makes you frustrated from constantly dying even on an easy setting and want to rage quit. It takes 3 shots to kill enemies even on easy settings. Aiming doesn't help improve your accuracy as much as you would think when using a rifle. The dialogue is also cheesy. Bottom line it's a poorer version of the Wolfenstein franchise. If that interests you, get it while it's 99c.

It's like an oldschool shooter with weird controls. I had a hardcase copy of Ubersoldier when it came out. It looked pretty spectacular back then and my PC had problems running it. Ubersoldier 2 looks like sh!t and my PC has problems running it. I had no idea they even made a second one because the first one wasn't that great. It had a really cool cover tho! But yeah, this is like a down-syndrome cousin of Wolfenstein. Anyways, it was cool to catch up to a long-forgotten game and i won it from that christmas auction. I wouldn't pay for this.

Like Skyrim With Transparent Clothing

DD/10

There isn't too much to be said about this game except it's cheap quick fun for an afternoon.

I bought this because of Inside Gaming. its so cheesy its fun!

I bought this in the name of inside gaming

I, like many people (I assume), first heard about this game from the guys at Inside Gaming. It looked interesting, I must admit, and when the price temporarily dropped down to $1.25, I knew I had to have it in my game library.

Well, one thing I can tell you now is that it IS definitely worth a buck and a fourth. This has got to be the worst game I have ever played. To start with, for an FPS, the gunplay is surprisingly terrible. The guns have no real presence and all of the sounds for them, from firing to reloading, are laughably stock. Each gun takes what feels like a year to reload (I'm sure you can see where that would get frustrating.) The graphics are extremely dated, even for a game that came out in 2008. It is also a Russian-made game. This in itself does not make it a bad game by any means, but it does mean that it has had to be redubbed. The voice-overs in this game are just unbearably atrocious. Everybody in it sounds uninterested in the current situation and when they should be yelling, they tend to do little more than talk in a high whisper. They are so bad that they make the acting in Just Cause 2 look like GTA V. The horrible voiceovers are not helped by the translated text, which so far has not had any spelling mistakes, but it is very convoluted to the point that you may need to reread certain sentences more than once.

The AI is something to be studied and talked about for many, many years in the future. Oftentimes I have seen enemy soldiers run into walls and not turn around. If they are not running into walls, they are throwing grenades at the ceiling and blowing themselves up. If they are not trying to commit suicide, they are making a beeline for you so they can continuously wack you in the face. To make combat a little more interesting, the developers have put a few "creative" features into the game. If you are taking too many bullets from all sides, you can put up your "UberShield", which will absorb incoming rounds and deflect them back at your enemies. It also, unfortunately, does not let you shoot back at them, as it collects your rounds and fires them when the shield runs out. In addition to this, there are the "UberSniper" and "Berzerker" modes, which make you immune to damage after 3 headshots and 3 knife kills, respectively. While all of these features may sound very interesting, they are not implemented into the game very well at all, and half of the time they just feel like a retread of other features from previous first person shooters.

The last thing I am going to talk about in this short essay of a review is the cutscenes. You remember cutscenes, don't you? The kind of ones that are either pre-rendered or made with the ingame engine? Well, if you don't like either of those, don't worry, Ubersoldier II has got you covered! Introducing the new and absolutely revolutionary comic-book cutscene! Watch as only 4 or 5 pictures are played continuously over bland dialogue. This has never been done in a game before, and I am sure that it is going to catch on with the AAA developers all over the world. (In all seriousness, the 4 or 5 pictures that they use in their cutscenes look hand-drawn, which at least took somebody some effort to make. Occasionally, they are drawn quite well, but not too often.)

It may sound like I am taking the piss out of this game. It might not deserve it, but oh boy is it such an easy target. It is definitely one of the worst games I can think of that came out in the last decade, something on par with Ride to Hell: Retribution. There are a couple of major differences between these games, though. Ubersoldier II has got plenty of soul, and a hell of a lot of heart, while Ride to Hell is as cruel and heartless as the Devil himself. When I play Ubersoldier, I at least get the sense that there was a team of people actually TRYING to make a good game. You know what, I think they actually might have succeeded.


In short: Is this a fun game?

Hell yes!

Old-school FPS fun pretty much sums this game up. The voice acting/dialogue is a little cringe worthy, but that kind of adds to the appeal personally. Visually it looks pretty good, even today. Is it "OHmahGAWD CRYISISIS 3 maxxed" good? No. But that doesn't matter, especially for a game that's 8 years old. Bottom line; the game's fun and it's only $10.
