Today, I'm going to review four missions made by lee_atsugai from his mission pack called Crisis of 2016: Rage of Task Force 141. The link of the topic leading to the missions: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=506827Anyways, here's the reviewing: - Writing: Excellent, there are hardly any errors. Nice use of text coloring. - Presentation: Very good, the cutscenes generally have good angles, apart from one mission that doesn't have any. Avengers:- Length: Good, it can be completed in five minutes. The player plays as a member of the Task Force 141 team. He must defend a position all mission long. - Difficulty: Easy, all enemies have headshot disabled and have weapons capable of rivalising with yours, but taking cover behind the Patriot or using allied soldiers as human shields will make the mission way easier. - Variety: Very good, the mission contains six different weapons, five different types of vehicles, and nine different characters (skins.) Desperate Escape:- Length: Very good, it can be complete in eight minutes. The player has to fight his way out of Task Force 141's base. - Difficulty: Easy rolling to aoid enemy shoots and to take cover, plus using allied soldiers as human shields will make it way easier to complete the mission. Also, most enemies are far distance from you. - Variety: Very good, as the mission contains two different vehicles, five different weapons, four different objects, and nine different characters (skins.) Anti Task Force:- Length: Excellent, it can be completed in ten minutes. The player has to defend the hospital where the team headed. - Difficulty: Medium, the firefight against enemy soldiers equiped with weapons should be easy. The parts where you should watch out is when they throw molotov cocktails at you, the mortars attack (explosion), the RPG guys and the Rhinos attack. Plus, riot mode is enabled. Taking cover behind your allies (using them as human shields) and behind vehicles will help greatly to make the mission easier. - Variety: Excellent, as the mission contains three different vehicles, three different objects, thirteen different characters (skins), and seven different weapons. Medical Situtation:- Length: Excellent, as it can be completed in eleven minutes. The player controls two characters: a pilot aka Gold Eagle and the same character from the Task Force 141 team from the last mission. - Difficulty: Easy, the mission should generally be easy once inside the Rhino and blowing enemy tanks, helicopters, and foot soldiers. The tedious part might be the firefight to enter the tank. Just take cover behind your allies and objects and vehicles and you should make it alright. Riot mode is enabled in this mission too. - Variety: Very good, as the mission contains three different objects, twelve different characters (skins), four different vehicles, and six different weapons. Overall, the mission are pretty much well designed.  The writing is excellent as the missions contain hardly any errors, the presentation of the missions is very good due to the fact two missions has excellent use of cutscenes with great angles, one without any, and another one with some cutscenes which the angles could be better, the variety is very good due to the high ammount of different weapons, vehicles, characters (skins), and objects, the lenght is very good due to the ammount of time taken to play all four missions, and the difficulty could be toned up a little bit due to the fact the missions are somehow easy to complete. Nonetheless, the missions are great and keep up the good job. |

Hello everyone, Today, I'm going to review a mission made by The_DanielMac. Please click on the link below in order to download it: http://dyom.gtagames.nl/?act=show&id=18954Now, it's time for the review, - Writing: Very good. There were no noticeable grammar errors and the objective text was understandable. - Presentation: Excellent. The cutscenes were perfectly timed and focused and the actors were given appropriate animations which made them lively. The cutscenes also included action and explosions which made them fun to watch. Welcome to SA - Length: Long, as it takes about 15 minutes to complete. The player, a soldier, is ordered to infiltrate the base of enemies which contains short range missiles. - Difficulty: Hard. The player is given a M14 which is quite a powerful weapon but the player has to use cover and use distance to kill the enemies safely because they also possess powerful weapons like shotguns and AK-47. The player has two allies, but they has 'must survive' enabled, so it also means the player must protect them as well. - Variety: Very good. Characters include CIA chief, USA president, Minister of security, Vice president, Orton, Sgt. James and Captain Keth. Weapons include sawn-off shotgun, SMG's, AK 47, M14 and a sniper rifle. Vehicles include patriot, army trucks and a boat. Overall, the mission is very good with a lot of variety including sniping and shootouts. The action in the mission and it's difficulty makes the mission fun to play. Highly recommended for those who like action and army missions. The author did a good job in the designing of the mission and should keep up with it. |

Hello everyone, Today, I'm going to review 6 missions made by xMatix. They're part of his Theory of Revolution series. Please click on the link below in order to view the topic and find links to download them: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=480224Now, it's time for the review, - Writing: Good. There are a lot of grammar errors in the writing, however it is still understandable. There was also appropriate text colouring used, - Presentation: Excellent. All the cutscenes were perfectly timed and focused. There was a presence of animations and lots of action including explosions in the cutscenes. There were appropriates types of weather used in different situations which also adds to the quality of the presentation. Secret KGB files - Length: Excellent, as it takes about 14 minutes to complete. Valentina steals some secret documents from Ivan and escapes. After a chase she reaches a safe place. A call comes from Jurji, who tells Valentina to wait for a client, Daniel. However, when the exchange of the documents is taking place, the Russian gangsters attack them. After the file is hidden, the Russians attack them again, taking Valentina with them. Jean comes to take Daniel away, but Daniel says he will first rescue Valentina. - Difficulty: Hard. At first Valentina is required to escape from Ivan's place which is surrounded by armed guards. Valentina is weaponless and has to use the balconies and rooftops to escape. Some wrong moves there can get the player killed. After that there is a car chase, and because of the uneven countryside landscape, the player has to be very careful. The whole mission requires the player to be fast and careful. - Variety: Very good. Characters include Ivan, Valentina, Jurji, Mikhail, Jean, Daniel and the Russian gangsters. Weapons include SMG's. Many vehicles are also included which are used by the player and enemies. Unfinished matters - Length: Excellent, as it takes about 10 minutes to complete. The mission starts with Daniel following petrol drops from the Russian's vehicle. It starts raining so Daniel has to be quick. After reaching the Russian's car which has stopped by now, he follows one to their location. Then with the help of the waiter's outfit, he finds his was to the Ivan's room when he knocks him out and frees Valentina. Mikhail comes into the room with a shotgun but Skylar comes in the right time and shoots him. Then they escape to Skylar's hideout. - Difficulty: Too hard!!. The first part of the mission which consists of following petrol tracks, or checkpoints in other words, gives no room for error as the time limit is very tight. You have to make sure that your bike is moving continuously and more importantly you never fall off the bike, otherwise you are certain to fail the mission. The rest of the following and driving is ok, though you have to be careful with the vehicle at the start because the enemies can easily shoot it. - Variety: Excellent. Characters include Daniel, Skylar, Mikhail, Valentina, Ivan and the Russians. Vehicles include Primo and PCJ 600. Variety of objects including junk cars, fire, fences were used. New tasks - Length: Decent, as it takes about 4 minutes to complete. Skylar reminds Daniel about Captain Cost and explains to him that they have to find him as he has some important information. - Difficulty: Easy. The gameplay includes a part of a flashback, where the Belorus civilians are fighting against the Communist squad. The player has a lot of allies with powerful weapons to take the huge number out. - Variety: Very good. Characters include Skylar, Daniel, Cost, Larsson, the Belorus civilians and the Communist squads. Weapons include M14, mini gun and SMG's. A variety of objects were as well included for cover. Friends from years ago - Length: Excellent, as it takes about 11 minutes to complete. Daniel goes to meet Larsson at a car party. There is a flashback showing how Cost disapeared. Then Larsson and Daniel goes to Larsson's place where he tells Daniel to find Sponge as he knows about the whereabouts of Cost. - Difficulty: Too Hard!!. The flashback contains a huge shootout with a time limit whereby the player has to escape the area before the explosives go off. The area is surrounded by many enemies with very powerful weapons and the cover includes boxes which are breakable, so the player has to be quick. After the flashback, it becomes easier as it includes driving with only a car chasing them. - Variety: Excellent. Characters include Skylar, Sponge, Larrison and people at the car party and the Russians. Vehicles include bullet, primo, cars driven by the Russians and the cars at the party. Variety of objects including crates, boxes and explosives were used as well. Pickups include armour and AK47. Weapons include shotgun, mini gun, AK47. Searching for good people - Length: Very Good, as it takes about 9 minutes to complete. Daniel gets to know that Sponge is at the cemetery. When he reaches there, he realises that they have been ambushed by the Russians. They escape to Blueberry where he is attacked by Cost as he thinks that he has come to kill him. Daniel convinces them that there is nothing like that. Sponge and Cost explains that there is a double agent that wants a file from them which contains information that is threatening to the Russian government. Daniel realises that Valentina is a Russian and Skylar may be in danger. - Difficulty: Medium. There is a shoot out at the cemetery but there is a lot of cover that the player can use to protect himself. The rest is driving to Blueberry being chased by two cars. It's easy to lose them in the countryside before they can do much damage. - Variety: Very Good. Characters include Daniel, Sponge, Cost and the Russian gangsters. Vehicles include bullet, Sponge's car and the car used by the Russians. Weapons include shotgun, AK 47, M14 and Desert eagle. Courier - Length: Very Good, as it takes 9 minutes to complete. Daniel has to go to a hideout and get a package from some agents and give it to to agent Smith. When he reaches to the hideout he realises that the package has already been given to some Chinese agent. Daniel kills him and makes his way to Agent Smith's where he finds him being attacked by some thug. Daniel helps him fight the thug and gives him the package. - Difficulty: Easy. The mission mainly consists of driving and killing unarmed enemies. It's very difficult to fail the mission unless the player dies intentionally. - Variety: Good. Characters include Daniel, Agent Smith, Agent Norman, unnamed agent, Chinese agent and a thug. Vehicles include FCR 900 and Primo. Overall, the mission were very good and the variety of gameplay makes the missions fun to play. There was good use of different objects throughout the missions and a very good choice of locations to set the missions. The difficulty of some of the missions was tov high leaving no room for mistakes. This can be a bit frustrating to some players. The length of all the missivns was almost perfect, none being too short or too long. The designer did an excellent job in the designing of the missions and should keep up with it. |
