Ravenfield Beta 5

Ravenfield is a single player first person shooter similar in style to Battlefield, this is the Beta version so it does have some bugs and the people are kind of low resolution faceless blue or red kind of Lego looking figures however the background actually looks astounding and incredibly realistic. The game is by no means easy, you can choose between a few different weapons, and AK-47 and heavy duty shotgun and a sniper rifle and all the weapons are a lot of fun although the sniper rifle seems to be the most sensible as you can keep a safe distance from the enemies and fire at them from cover although it’s not as much fun as going gung-ho with the heavy duty shotgun but this will almost certainly lead to a quick demise.

Ravenfield can be a bit rough around the edges but for a free game it really does embody the spirit of classic FPS games and it really is a lot of fun supposedly you can also drive jeeps and pilot helicopters although I could not work out how to do this but it was still a lot of fun shooting the enemies and having some kamikaze runs.

It would be great if this game was multiplayer and you could play against real people like a team death match but that’s not to say that it isn’t very enjoyable in the available single player mode.
