Boiling Point: Road To Hell

"This is probably one of the most enjoyable piece of early-Beta code that I've ever played. You want to damn Atari for releasing it like this. However, you also want to hail them for spending money on something of Boiling Point's ambition rather than the safe option. After all, if this sells nothing, the lesson publishers will learn won't be "Don't release unfinished games" but "Don't invest in ambitious ones"."

"Boiling Point works off the Grand Theft Auto template to fashion an open-ended hybrid shooter with more diverse missions than the genre has seen in years."

"Although ambitious, Boiling Point feels more like a beta than a finished game, and could bring you to a boil just trying to play it."

"The game is dotted with nice little touches, but "dotted" is the key word here, as the whole shebang is stretched so thin across a huge play area."

"The first thing that's quickly noticeable upon entering the game is the huge environment. Right away your thrown into a small South American town with the ability to go anywhere and do whatever you want."
