The first review of Shelled is out!


Quote:Overall, Shelled! Online is a fun tactical action game that strikes a good balance between turn-based planning and real-time chaos. It does take some practice to learn how far the shells fly at certain power levels, but after a while you’ll get the hang of it. Making a difficult shot is a rewarding feeling, whether it’s against human opponents or the AI. All of the issues I have with Shelled! Online are minor at best, as the game is quite solid as a whole.

Don’t be fooled by the comparatively simple 3-D presentation: there’s an addictive action game contained in Shelled! Online. It takes the best aspects of Scorched Earth and adds in a 3-D environment, tons of weapons, and methodical real-time gameplay. Gamers who enjoy fast-paced games won’t like Shelled! Online, but I do enjoy the tense limited movement and physics-based mechanics. I think if the game looked more like a AAA title, then more people would be drawn to its infectious gameplay. There are a handful of small improvements that could be made to polish up the game, but the title is good enough to be quite enjoyable.

Score: 6/8 (Buy it if you like the genre)

Anyway what I would like to say is thanks. I noticed that this is compatible with a Xbox 360 controller so will Shelled! Online ever be gracing Microsoft's console?

I mean it would widen your audience and you already have the control scheme down. I know Microsoft can be hard task masters from what I herd when it comes to porting stuff to there XBLA service but I reckon this would be a hit on that console. I think this is because the only other game that's like Shelled! Online on the Xbox 360 is Worms but Shelled! Online has some nice features making it different and more enjoyable than Worms on the Xbox 360.

Anyway I am off to go play some more now, laters! :)]]>

PROBLEM: GAME WON'T DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL.

If the game won't install, you may not have downloaded it completely. Try deleting the file and re-downloading it again. If it fails again, try using an alternate download site (listed on the download page). If the game won't install, make sure you have enough free disk drive space to install the game and have administrative rights on the computer you are using.

PROBLEM: GAME WON'T START OR CRASHES.

Make sure to update your Windows XP computer to the latest version of Microsoft Direct X. You can update your Direct X here.

If you are still having problems, look up your graphics card and update to the latest driver from the provider.

Updating Direct X and graphics drivers solves the vast majority of problems.

PROBLEM: GAME RUNNING SLOWLY.

Update your Direct X and graphics drivers. If still having problems, go to the OPTIONS screen in the game, change bit depth to 16, screen size to 800x600, and turn off the full color radar.

If you are having further technical support problems, please post them here for support. This FAQ will be updated to address the most common problems.
