G-Sector - 3D arena shooter (25.1Mb)
G-Sector is a brilliant and fantastic single player 3D arena shooter that plays extremely well and has excellent 3D graphics. It's really very exciting to play! There's a great review too at the download location. You fly a jet skateboard through futuristic locations with similarly mounted opponents and it's a mega-blast and real dynamite to play!
I’m astonished not to find this listed before on the free games project as although an older game, it is fully 3D and can be run in some screen modes in Win 7. Don’t be put off by the old-style installer, make no mistake, this is a superb single player 3D deathmatch game which has you riding a futuristic skateboard facing similarly mounted opponents. There are various arenas and futuristic cities to play in that are displayed very well.
You aim and steer with the mouse, using the left-button to fire and the right button to jump. You move using the ‘arrow’ keys and the Spacebar performs trick (and high!) jumps. ‘1 to 8’ keys to select weapons. You can gain extra speed and momentum by sliding down ramps. The aim is to eliminate all of the opponents in each arena. You get more challenging arenas and more difficult opponents for each stage you complete. You get 3 lives per game.
You’ll need to set the compatibility properties to XP in Vista or Win 7, and may not be able to use the Windowed mode, though the full-screen modes work perfectly fine. Attempting to use the windowed mode on my Win 7 machine caused the mouse to freeze until I opened Task Manager to end the game process. As I say, the Full-screen modes all work properly allowing the game to be played in Win 7. The windowed mode should run in XP itself without any problem.
It’s an awesome and amazing game that’s fantastic fun to play once you get used to the controls; I found them to come very naturally and be very easy to learn and use in the 3D arenas.
You won’t find much better gameplay with any modern game and the graphics are excellent given that it’s been around for a considerable number of years now! When this game first came out, it compared very favourably with full-price commercial titles and helped start the wonderful trend of some freeware games being of commercial quality!
This is absolutely the ‘tops’ for a free game and a very complete must-have for your games collection! Stunningly stupendous - and a really serious 'blast' to play! They don't come much better than this!
