Chaser ranks fourth on my top ten favorite games [Posted on 2006-07-25] 1) Quake 3 Arena
2) Quake 2
3) Half-Life
4) Chaser
Chaser has insanely large levels, TONS of weapons, great graphics, great gameplay (simple, but can be hard at times), some clipping errors, decent voice acting, detailed models, and TONS of replay. The levels are detailed and large and just fun to play. Me and my roomate went from playing doom 3 to quake 4 to Half-Life 2 and then to Chaser, and it wasnt a step down in any way! He is very picky, and he loved the large levels and the difficulty of play. Give it a shot! The CloakNT engine is very scalable (plays on most anything) and with everything up, looks good. I play with everything down (habit, dont ask) and its still good! Look for stuff from Cauldron, they are going in the right direction.
not a bad game despite what other poeple may say [Posted on 2006-12-03] Yeah, people say that this borrows from other games, and this is true to a large extent. But I still found it rather fun and is a welcome releif from all the WWII and vietnam shooters I've ben playing. The music is half decent reminiscent of what you would listen to in an action movie film like a Steven Segal flick (I never did turn off the music like I do in some games). The game setting seems to be a mix of contemporary and city architecture. I think the reason why the levels can be so boring is because the game level designers seemed to be more of an architect trying to capture what a building should be instead of a game level designer. And we know that most buildings are rather boring in their layout in real life, hence the boring level designs. Still, the game looks good, and the weapons are quite fun to play with and is mostly stable (I got stuck in a few levels, and also found some glitches where enemies could fire through doors and barrels). The plot seems to be reminiscent of the movie "Total Recall". The caviets that I didn't like about the game is that you need an internet patch to run this on XP SP2 (too bad for those out there that don't have internet access), and also the fact that sometimes you got stuck and didn't know where to go and had to look at the on-line guide to figure something that doesn't seem to be intuitive.
************ Major Issue ************ [Posted on 2007-03-26] You might want to let customers know that the PC shooter Chaser has a Major issue.
The game will not load and the user gets the error message "Math64.dll". In trying to get to the bottom of this on the net, I've found the following information: Supposedly, the problem is that the installer is incompatible with both Service Pack 2 for windows XP (Home AND Pro) as well as some AMD systems.
Further, that the developers are aware of the issue but do not plan to fix it. There does not seem to be any workarounds past this error other than uninstalling SP2, installing the game and then re-installing SP2. I do not know what the AMD issues are.
I have not yet tried this workaround, so I cannot comment further on that. However, it would seem prudent that anyone planning to buy Chaser should take all this into consideration before purchasing it.
DOESN'T EVEN INSTALL [Posted on 2007-05-12] before the game even installs, it gives this error something about math64.dll. i have tried EVERYWHERE and EVERYTHING to try to get it to work. from copying the cd's to my hd then installing, to installing the install fix to even install it in the first place. nothing works.
This is the same Game as Chrome [Posted on 2007-08-08] Well It couold have been much much better. I did finish it and had some fun with it, but It just did not have that Zing to it, and when I found out it was the same as Chrome, that just really kind of made it feel a little lame. But if you nothing better to do and want to waste some time, give it a go.
