Back
These are just my initial impressions and I'll hopefully be able to do
some more testing after work.
My setup:
- Platform
WinXP Pro
P4 2Ghz
512MB RAM
- Browser
Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1
- Game Options
Default Settings
Report:
I played four games.
Game play was a lot easier once I figured out that a shot to the head or
torso is 100% fatal.
The only game play hic up I encountered was that the world went into an
irreversible flat spin when interrupted by MS Outlook's "You've got
mail" alert. I was killed before I could decide whether or not to quit
and restart.
I imagine that it may be impossible to avoid the loss of mouse focus
that I am assuming causes the world to go into a flat spin. Maybe a
warning to close any programs that send alerts is the only way to avoid
annoying a paying customer.
>From a usability point of view the reliability of the sever hosting the
game or the director / server communication needs to be improved.
Theoretically, I lost two credits while using the site. I lost one by
reloading the page when the game failed to connect after loading and
another when I couldn't submit my score.

After you log in there is a "skill test" item in the very top nav bar.
I loaded the game but couldn't play because it told me I was not on the
internet, which was news to me.
