    Would be ok if not the annoying "freeze" ups.. unless they weresome
    kind of strategic part of the game? in that case, an explanation would
    be nice.



    The concept is pretty sweet though. If its anything like single player
    game "Death Rally" but with better graphics and multiplayer support
    then im intrigued.




    I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

    Well, let's see. PvP and permadeath. Now we'll get to see all the "hardcore" guys have to think of some other excuse to cry "carebear!!". Makes me wanna load up my old Twisted Metal:Black on my PS2, though. But I'll pass on this one.

    this trailer was edited horribly. anonying music, distasteful zoom in/out and stops, plus the graphic is bad.

    If they're actually designing the game around the idea that players will go through a split second "Order Phase", then watch a second of the game, and repeat this for an entire race...

    IIRCC, its turn based, the pauses are players setting up there moves for the turn.

    I just played it. I'm just going to say that 1.) it's "unique" and 2.) I won't play it again. However, if it works for somebody else's idea of fun, go right ahead.

You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith

    The freezes are when players are setting their moves. It's a turn-based game, as it says on the game description here on mmorpg.com. Turn based games can be vastly more detailed in terms of strategy and control.. so I guess it's an mmowargame as much as an mmorpg.

    Well let's see... you can either go with the big publishers and get more elves chopping trees and fishing, only with better graphics than ever!, or you can go with the indie publishers and get lesser graphics and original gameplay. Unfortunately you can't have both. It's actually the small developers that will save the genre, because the big boys certainly aren't willing to take any risks with their game design.

    For the slightly older people who dabbled in pen and paper games...this is is effectively a a version of Car Wars (under the GURPS system) or Autoduel (the Atari/C64 game from the mid 1980's). I have no idea if this new incarnation is any good but the old paper/computer games were a lot of fun....

    to all that said about bad grafic's just know this game was devalpoed by 1 man and for only 11 month now.

    this man not only working he is takeing care of his family too so realy if u count time this game been devalpod in a 3 month time of a working devalper so give the man a lil credit.

    all the implant's of game not in. in a weak or 2 there will be a new implant of world map so u can travle take controll of base's defand and just trade trade trade and kill alot.

    i sow ppl play a 1988 grafic game and pay a 6$ per month to play it so what? u wount play an unike game like this and u cant see alot of gam'es that are Turn Based and for free.

    and here alot of info http://www.dark-wind.com/indexJava.php?page=event.php&id=2876

    and now there even more car's some dud helping devalpod light tank's for the game in the world map this will be very tactical important veical.

    and plz dont forget Auto Assult wich may be beter looking but all the feture's are alot less then in darkwind
