Surprise, surprise! Edios' next Dreamcast game following the stellar Soul Reaver hit store shelves at some undefined point this past week. So how has this particular PC to DC conversion turned out?Alas, our very first impressions aren't the greatest. Eidos seems to have given us the barest bones of ports, right down to the same hard-to-read font (see Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer for reference).
The game is full of choppy frame rates and pauses frequently in order to stream in new areas of the world. It reeks of the unoptimized and the Windows CE.Fortunately, Omikron on the PC was a deep experience that was heavy on story. IGNPC enjoyed the PC version, awarding it a very favorable score of 8.5 (see ). We expect that the Dreamcast game has been ported over entirely, no matter how half-assed, and just trying out the early moments of the game and bearing witness to the opening city which features moving people and traffic ala Shenmue made us interested in exploring further.And explore it further we will before handing out our review.
