NeoTokyo Review on Mod N Mod

[Raffi_B]

Mod N Mod is at it again, and this time they are bringing you a review of the newly released NeoTokyo mod, awarding it a 9/10. Here's a snippet:

Overall this mod is quite fun and one of the best mods I’ve seen in a really long time and it’s a great pick if you’re looking for a new mod on UT2K4. But you must remember that this mod is still in early alpha so it may be a little buggy and incomplete, but this is a must get for anyone looking for a good sci-fi shooter or just a huge anime fan.

You can read the rest of the review here.

I hope they add smaller maps and/or bot support soon. Those maps seem a bit large for four players and not everybody can get 16 players together for a LAN party.

I hope ModNMod starts to do good reviews ...

I agree, what friggn mod have they given under a 9?

Neotokyo is far from 9/10 material. Although it's cool and the weapon/player models r neat, it lacks substance. Plus, it's the first release.

They gave practically every mod released a 9-9.5/10.. ridiculous. It causes me to completely disregard their scores... Inevitably making me not want to read the review.

*wonders if ModnMod will now whoop his ass when they review Hackerz* :O

I said that a while back..I'm like "modnmod" gives every mod an awesome score, whether it's good or not. Then someone else posted "and they all get a 9.4". I'm like HELL YEAH. ModnMod gives every mod an extremely high score (well all the recent ones at least) and the users generally tend to score those 9.5 mods around a 5 or 6. Says something.

Weapons

At the current alpha release NeoTokyo has 8 weapons too offer:
Smoke Grenade
Thermite Grenade
CX Pistol
Tachi Pistol
ID3 SMG
Priest Suppressed Assault Rifle
SD11 paratrooper

While not the widest selection of weapons, the weapons that are there are well modeled, and have great animation. In fact the weapon designs are so nice I can just sit there and admire them for quite some time. .

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven ...
Let's try this again. 1, 2,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ...

GREAT REVIEW!

+ BP22 + SD13G + Shotgun = 10

especially since this mod is still alpha, it needs constructive
critcism, not purely praising words.. so i too wonder what
they are on at modnmod.. maybe they can share it with us
so that we enjoy the mods as much as their reviewers.

From what I've played so far myself:

Alien Swarm=8 (6) [V1.1] A- (C)
Red Orchestra=7 [V2.0] B
Chaos UT=8.5 [V3.0?] A

Alien Swarm is good, but the FF and darkness definitely isn't for everyone, it's for hardcore gamers who love that sort of thing (8) and can find competent people to play with. If you can't, the mod is only around a 6.

Red Orchestra is very good, but was a little buggy, no bot support (or very little) and was extremely confusing to try and learn. I believe they have rectified some of the problems I had with it in 2.1.

ChaosUT is very good, though the weakest aspect is the maps which run poorly or aren't very good. The weapons and effects however are extremely good and the off hand grapple IMO makes CTF a hell of a lot better than the default TL (I used to play Quake for years, the grapple feels almost right). Bots are supported and the melee weapons are definitely the highlight. Though they are a little hard to use at first.

I think mod and mod gives everthing over 9 for the hell of it.

Perhaps they're trying to prove that numbers are pointless and only include them to shut up the people who won't read the words? I mean, they DO mention problems like bad balancing of the classes.

I just started working at mod n mod(I haven't done a review yet though since I started at Thursday, but when I do I'll probably be giving out 5-7 scores averagely) and I can assure you we know about the too high ratings. It's just that going back and re-rating all the mods would be hard. Trust me people don't give up on us as we are doing some major changes. Now that I work there I'll be doing my best to make us the best source for everything Mod related so please give me any suggestions.
