White Gold - 24 Hours @ RPS

Rock, Paper, Shotgun has some first impressions of White Gold, titled The Longest Day: 24 Hours in White Gold.

White Gold: War In Paradise, aka Xenus 2, aka Boiling Point 2 is the free-roaming FPS-RPG we’ve been meaning to take a closer look at for ages. A sequel to the famously mad, broken and ambitious Boiling Point (of which even the patch notes are comedy gold) from original Kiev-based developers Deep Shadows! What could be more exciting? What, indeed. An account of my first in-game day follows. It is a tale of daring-do, heavy drinking, a snake, a beautiful car and an enema.

LOL, the tone of that article is appropriate. White Gold - like Boiling Point - is overall a very light hearted game, full of ridiculous laugh-out-loud moments that are hard to come by in big budget titles.

And the gameplay's pretty solid too IMO; once the dialogs have be improved and the (several) inconsistencies with the storyline, maps, etc have been fixed by the community, then I think it will be a great game.

I hope Deep Shadows aren't completely defunct, coz I want more of these!

Wow, I must need t look further. The game play I have seen focuses purely on the truly horrid voice acting. I mean, it was so bad, I sent links to friends.

Well, you can probably switch the voices off, also I was under impression the focus of gameplay was on running and gunning around huge open terrain

If you look beyond the voice acting (which is indeed horrible, you'd better grab that patch which adds rus voices) you'll find a genuinely great game - at least if you like FPS/RPG hybrids with some great features.
