Huxley Review( From : Hookegamers.com )
An FPS conquers MMO world
It is not every day (yet) that we see a MMOFPS arrive on the market, but with Webzenˇ®s forthcoming title Huxley, that will no doubt begin to change. Huxley takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where humans have mutated and become divided into two opposing races. These races are the Sapiens and the Alternatives. At the centre of the battle between the two tribes is the precious resource known as Lunarites.
Look at the Huxley environment...
Most of the action in Huxley takes place inside a futuristic city landscape. And from what weˇ®ve seen so far, the graphical detail of the locations is top-notch. The cities have a dark feel about them as youˇ®d expect from a game set in a post-apocalyptic world and are superbly rendered. A blend of Eastern and Western cultures can be seen in various parts/? target=_blank>arts of the city. The use of lighting and shaders definitely shows as water shimmers and metallic structures glisten when the sun shines upon them. Shadows are cast from lifeless and moving objects in great detail.
 Also the characters have also been brilliantly illustrated. Both the player and non-player characters are depicted in great detail, with rippling muscles, facial expressions and body armour given the most meticulous treatment. We havenˇ®t heard about the system specifications required to run the game at the level that weˇ®ve seen, but Iˇ®m sure a Pentium 2 with 16Mb video card wonˇ®t be enough.
OK... itˇ®s a FPS... so what about the weapons?
Naturally, there will be a large variety of weapons to choose from. But as with all FPS or MMORPGs, the better weapons are obtained as you "level-up". The weapons include the Discodia Assault Rifle which can fire up to 600 rounds per second, but has limited firepower against enemies who wear enhanced armour, the Mirage Viper which is a sniper rifle and deadly accurate but can only fire one round at a time, and the Collien Bleach which is a personal rocket launcher capable of firing two rockets per second. One feature of the weaponry that seems interesting is the ability to head off to a marketplace and trade weapons. If a gamer has "levelled-up" and has access to superior weapons, they can trade those superior weapons with team members who have not yet "levelled-up" enough to gain the weapon.
