Customer Reviews

Pariah is good
I have Pariah on my xbox, and I think that it's a good game. Ok, calling it the next halo was a mistake,because parsonally, no fps game comes close to the halo games. But it certainly isn't a bad game. The Upgradable weapons are an ingenious and unique feature to this game, and the combat and playability is fantastic. All-in-all, Pariah does miss out in being the next Halo, but is a great game nevertheless! Buy it and you will enjoy it.

Not worth the effort
This game had so much potential.

Thats where the fun ends however. Im not sure about P.C users but on the xbox myself and my friends who play xbox live found this game an utter disapointment.

Over all the single player game feels ok, a little rushed in places, most enememies react the same all the way through the games various (samey) environments.

Weapons feel highly underwhelming and although the ability to upgrade each weapon seems like a good idea, it only really makes the somewhat weak rocket launcher feel better.

Vehicles handle the same, whether they hover, have 3 or 4 wheels, or way 10 tonnes.

Map maker has limited options which is shame as this seemed like a great idea.

online play is fun for an hour with some friends, but gets boring very quick with the very limited match options.

Final verdict, steer very clear of this one, stick with Halo 2 and Unreal championship 2!

Such promise but no delivery
I brought this game after hearing a review on the Tele. They said that they only played a preview copy but some of the aspects of the game left them with a lot of hope for a challenger for Halo.
On first playing the game the control system felt smooth and easily identifiable. The graphics where tidy, no real visible faults until we introduced a second player into the game for co-op play. I have always been a fan of this and when we got going it was good fun blowing people into the air with the grenade launcher, but we did notice a severe slow down in game speed and graphics, a slight lagging effect was clear in the game as the game struggled to cope with the different movements of the games. This was the first of a few niggles that came up.
The second was the lack of story line. Random characters, conversations and general thoughts really ruined the game. It was enjoyable even with the lack of smooth graphics but when the cut scenes came up i really lost interest.
The last problem was the bosses, there were two obvious bosses that came up in the game, neither of which really caused any great deal of trouble and were far to close together.

This is a good game and i think that the next game that is made by the developers could be one of the finest that i will play, unfortunately this game really has no lastability and so will be completed in hours rather than days and will be sitting on your shelf soon after.
Renting this title would be my advice cause it certainly is worth playing as the weapon mods are very nice and fun to try out on your unsuspecting enemy. Play this game alone also and maybe switch between cut scenes rather than playing co-op. The lagging graphics are not the only niggle as the AI seems unaware there are two of you and so player two can often just walk up to enemies and blow them to pieces in comical fashion!!
