Default StormLine 1.0: Conflict Simulation

http://www.pocketgear.com/software_...associateid=204



"The Story: We are on Planet Storm. The Peace are now only legends; the good old days seems forgotten. Under the leadership of an strong mysterious figure, the corporation of the "StormNet" is founded on Planet Storm. Its slogan: Only StormNet! The activities of the StormNet seem to focus on the conquer of users. The StormNet is able to draw more and more followers and build up a center of military power. The leadership of AnotherNet fails to recognize the threat and finally has nothing to counter the open declaration of war that follows. AnotherNet stands defenseless as the Planet Storm leadership receives an extremely puzzling offer from the council of war of the StormNet.

The Game: StormLine is an entirely new kind of conflict simulation, combining elements war-net and turn-based strategy in you PocketPC. Features: New War-Net ideology Unique turn-based strategy with extreme intensity and game depth Astounding 2D graphics, rich in detail, with a variety of landscape elements such as mountains, seas, trees, cliffs, buildings, bridges etc. Military actions with 19 buildings and military vehicles Campaign with 36 missions altogether."

I just can't stand grammar errors in product descriptions. Me makes wanted no buy them. Examples is below:

"The Peace are now only legends"

"The good old days seems forgotten."

"Under the leadership of an strong mysterious figure"

"The activities of the StormNet seem to focus on the conquer of users."

"Combining elements war-net and turn-based strategy in you PocketPC. "

"Military actions with 19 buildings and military vehicles"

David,

I would have to agree. Speeling errors and grammer errors make me not want to buy it. It makes me wonder that errors in the game make me confussed.

The allure dissappeared for me when I saw the screen shot of the "Astounding 2D graphics, rich in detail".

NOT! They blow!

No joke Zippper - have a look here: http://www.rellab.com/screens1.html

I thought I was back at 1984 looking at my ZX spectum there. :lol:

OK, OK, maybe 1992 looking at my 286 with *real* VGA - but no later!

Perhaps the game really is enjoyable - but it does not look like too much. :?

Believe that "[email protected]" may be answer with manual in Russian, me understand on on 'Downloads' page.

Pay someone translation idea good would have been.

(I can't laugh really - I've done localisation testing and it can be tedious - but is necessary!).

You know...you can replace every instance of "StormNet" with "Microsoft", and "Planet Storm" with "Earth" -- and this will now be a game based on real life

EDIT: And the lensflare effect on their shot of the game SD was very, very corny.
