Rom Drive 28.8 kbps or faster modem needed for network play Direct3D hardware acceleration recommended Sound blaster 16 Graphics, this game had got it!! This game has a great 3-D engine, with awesome vector graphics. With my speed of machine there was some hesitation but when you do 360 degree turns the graphics are perfect.This game is just one brutal war of the aliens as the title aspires to. The battle scenes are cool and I wonder where the 3D engine is from, cause I'd sure like to see more games based on it! Sound Each little thing you do in this game has an individual sound effect. That is a definite plus. There is a cool soundtrack running in the background also. Dominant Species makes full use of your sound card so be ready. Gameplay It has a great interface and since there are only so many commands it is quite easy to navigate. I found that the game progresses along and you really need to keep up but the training sessions are very helpful. The intense graphics are hard to interpret at first but you get used to them eventually. The interface has little picture buttons for each action, they not only look cool but make for one slick interface. We do Battle!! The battle scenes are neat because they are very interactive and you have 'Total" control over your character. Any enviromental conditions can also help or hinder your battle. And boy are some of those opponents tough. More competition?? Dominant Species uses the mplayer.com server for its multiplayer action. I am a fan of this server but I still rage for the zone instead. I wish you could multiplay on both sites but it is the vendors who decide and mplayer is a strong site. It has more games being played on it and has a smooth chat interface. Rating: Joystick is up!
