But if you've got the patience to become familiar with all the controls, and you're willing to work within the framework of a team, and you've got the chance to train and drill with a squad, then Allegiance can be very rewarding. In any case, Allegiance offers some tough human competition in a gorgeous and intricate universe. Stephen Butts For even more ongoing coverage on Allegiance, you should head over to IGN's Allegiance Vault Presentation Really nice front end for a Zone supported game. Although the manual is pretty sparse, the tutorials are excellent. Graphics A really gorgeous game with fantastic lighting and particle effects.
Ship models are very detailed but a little clumsy looking.
8.5 Sound Good comm sounds and incidental effects. The weapon sounds weren't spectacular but they get the job done. 7.5 Gameplay Engaging but fairly complex. The mechanics of the game might overwhelm the player at first, but the sophisticated controls are involving. A lot depends on the community development, but the game offers a solid and unique multiplay experience.
