Review: http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/launchreview.asp?reviewid=488251
Seems to be pretty good, and I'm desperate right now for anything in the post-apocalyptic setting, be it a diablo clone or a fucking Truck RPG.

Well, it was the only one on Gamerankings and I don't fucking read german, so there you go.
Though I did find it kinda odd (read: stupid) that RA is listed as "Action-arcade" in the GiN review, yet the reviewer splooges on about how much of a deep roleplaying expierience it was. Huh?

Downloading demo as I type this. (along with Fate) I got some classic gaming in store for tonight. :D
I got Restricted Area, it's pretty decent.
It's no masterpiece RPG, but it's a fun action game.
Pretty similiar to Diablo, but the setting and stuff changes it enough to where it doesnt feel like the exact same game.
Instead of armor and stuff, you just find cyberware or bioware limbs (left and right arms and legs, eyes, head, and then some slots for microchip sized ones), but also you have a limit on which you can put in.
There's a Tolerance stat and each piece of ware has a different amount of it it takes when you wear it, so you gotta think about what to wear.
The guns are pretty awesome in the game, I like the way they are balanced and fired and everything.
Plasma gun is rapid fire, no 'recoil' type of thing (you dude takes time after each shot to reflect recoil), but you have an energy meter that limits how much you fire so you gotta wait for it to refill. Also enemies dont get stunned often with plasma and are never knockedback.
Shotguns knock enemies back, stun pretty often, but are heavy recoil and shitty at range.
Pistols are quicker then shotguns, have good range, no knockback and normal stun amounts.
There is melee, flamethrowers, pistols, shotguns and energy weapon classes.
Overall, it's a pretty fun action game. I'm playing through as the generic cyberpunk hero guy (all guns sorta guy) on Hard difficulty. There is also a Realistic difficulty, which is like Hardcore in Diablo.

I don't have the game yet but I was wondering about the deal with that Jessica chick who can hack into cyberspace or something. How does that work?
I dunno, i've only been playing the guns guy.
It's a pretty fun game, lots of action so hey. Its like a 3rd person FPS or something.
I discovered one bad bug, the flamethrower can hurt enemies through walls, so if you do it right, you can kill people without harm.
But thats boring as hell to do, so I dont really do it.
Edit: I just remembered I keep seeing these computer terminals in the game levels, I couldnt interact with them so I forgot, but I imagine thats what the hacker girl uses.

The game looks pretty good, and I enjoyed the combat in the demo. While it was like Diablo, it wasn't boring like Diablo, maybe cause it had guns and not swords, but who knows.

Played through the demo. Got murdered by level 5 fat muties being only level 2. Though once I got the machine gun and was able to use it, I housed everything. Didn't find any melee weapons.
on hard those fat muties were pretty tricky, just have to be good kinda. I used a pistol with +damage to living things, low recoil high speed and extra damage to them.
Now i'm using a plasma rifle with a +4 modification and +66% stun chance

Does anyone know if co-op is still the half assed "non main quest co-op" ? or have they made if full on?

Into a separate slot, or what? Sounds like a formula for corrupt save games...LlamaGod said:
