 (C) RINDEX

 The end of my torment, the end of my suffering... Song from which
then a cartoon (or movie???...). It's done, I finished this one
a wonderful game - UFO 2: Devils of the Abyss. And so I passed it, and
Now I’m sitting and thinking, but I was expecting something painful from this game...
why... Why? And now I will put everything into pieces. I just want
I warn you all, this is all my opinion, well, who is not with me
I agree, please go to the pages of our newspaper. Let's discuss and argue.

   So, the pros. Well, since I will compare with UFO 1: ENEMY
UNKNOWN (on the Spectrum, not on IBM), then to all fans of the acti- genre
on please don't yell at me, the second game is much better than the first, yes
and the original UFO on IBM, the same as our UFO 2. Oh well,
Here are the advantages for you:

   The first plus: of course, is that now you can manage non-
how many aquanauts, and don’t chase aliens like be-
shady. It was necessary to make the first game exactly the same as the second one.
I'm rooting. Well, let those who are not “ripe” play stupid shooters,
like "kill them all."

   The second plus: the number of studies has increased. It's cool
right awaythere was an additional incentive to complete the game.

   The third plus: the number of places that need to be vacated has increased. No
words...

   Fourth plus: secret bunkers. Well, this is completely rubbish. When
get access there, then you will understand everything. I just want to say one thing:
the most important thing is not to be nervous, and not to scold the aliens, that they say,
you don't know how to build. Actually, it's a problem...

   Fifth plus: the sound has improved. But to this topic
I'll be back.

   Sixth advantage: control aliens. This really got me
Well, they're just contagious, they're getting stoned again, and they're coming again.
trying to take control, or kill... There is no way out.

   Seventh plus: finally you can easily earn money
on their own, and not rely on outside subsidies.  All this
I'm talking about the fact that you can make as many as you want, for example, spacesuits,
and then sell them for almost twice as much as I spent on them,
to make them. Cool, cool...

   That's all it seems. Now the cons. These are the disadvantages, I will compare
deal with both UFO 1 and your own considerations.

   First disadvantage: chasing UFOs in 3D mode. Although this
and it’s not a minus at all, then I just got a kick out of flying after them, co-
when I got the Leviathan fighter. But first, this
problem. But when you learn, there will be no problem. A
I also advise you to quickly make yourself a new fighter. "Three-
tone" is some kind of a littleoutdated design.  Who's got the game?
on two disks, they can simply disable this mode and that’s it. How from-
turn it on, you will find it in the ON-LINE newspaper.

   Second disadvantage: why does time go so slowly? UFO 1 has many
go faster.

   Third disadvantage: You, my dears, are given until 2020, but
after that - khan. Let's dwell on this problem. Game
You start on February 15, 2017 at 04.44. I finished it on November 12-
Friday of the same 2017 at 13.00. This begs the question: why?
did the game end so early? I thought I had at least another year of gaming
It's a good time to play it, but here... Why then is 2020 well-
wives? Or is it for the mentally retarded who sit with ten
investigators and with ten technicians???... But such, I hope,
no. It’s a little unclear... Basically, time flies here a lot
slower than UFO 1, so you'll get plenty of play.

   The fourth negative: what kind of music is playing at the end of the game?  Where
then I already heard it. Compared to the menu where you can download
Bo game, or description, or introduction, is earth and sky.  Yes and
in the introduction - it’s also not sugar. No offense, but you have to play a game like this
worthy of music...

   Fifth disadvantage: why are half of the aliens inactive?  Where are those
monsters that don't fit into alien ships? Is it really memory?
weren't you enough? I don’t believe it, because it’s loading. Maybe they don't
They are fighting in a proprietary game, then let them fight with us. After all, this isit was just garbage. Imagine, such a kent is worth it, once in a decade
to be bigger than you, and you with a harpoon... Just a joke, a joke. In general, look
It would have been spectacular.  And so only from one unused
alien benefit - zerbyte gives. By the way, in UFO 1 on IBM there is also le-
The energy disk melts, but there it fights with you.

   Sixth minus: more research should have been done.  Ig-
It would be even more interesting.

   That's all it seems. Of course, if Mednonogov does three
your game about aliens (I read somewhere that he had already started it
do), then let him take these comments into account. And it's not the case, someone
completed UFO 2 in six days. Some kind of maniac, he sat for 20 hours
owls at the computer or what? So this is what needs to be done for such people
so that the third game could be completed in a month, no less.
For the rest, in order not to lose interest in the game, it is necessary to increase
read research, about three times. Another suggestion. For istre-
It would be nice for a fighter to develop new cartridges in order to
to knock out a UFO faster. Naturally, for new
Biteley - new, more powerful cartridges. Even if the 3D mode is
is dancing.

   Ufff. It seems like everyone else. It remains only to remind once again that
all of the above is my opinion, whoever disagrees - please go to the page
tsy of our newspaper. We'll discuss it, maybe even before some new
we'll get to your ideas.

   And one more thing. I completed the UFO 2 version, which is sold atMAGIC SOFT'
ov. Please, the version is passable. I have more glitches
didn't notice. All. The game is just garbage.  We are waiting for UFO 3. There, I hope,
humanity will kill this evil seriously and for a long time (and maybe even for a long time)
always).

   P.S. There are rumors that the third game will be different from the two previous ones.
previous Well, let's see. Time will show.
