Easy to use, and okay for the price  |
Press reviews Ive read have all said "you wont be making the next Quake or Tomb Raider with this package" and theyre right. The 3D Gamesmaker is a simple tool that allows you to make reasonably simple 3D games.You get a lot of choice though. You can create a space game, a tank game, a driving game, a tomb raider style game, a Doom style game.. and several others. You can then select from hundreds of scenes or even create your own. Moving on, you select the enemies, their weapons, obstacles, level boss, and objectives. Its very much a cookie cutter process. Specify what you want, and go. But while the games are basic, the graphics are pretty good. Dont expect Quake 3 quality here, but theyre better than Quake 1 for sure. The sounds are good too, and theres hundreds of MP3s on the CD that you can use as your soundtrack. If you dont mind getting more involved, you can create your own levels, import your own 3d models, and even adjust every single graphic you see within the game. You can even put your own face into a game! This package is great for someone who wants to produce a few games to give away to friends, or perhaps a business that wants to give away a simple game on a CD as an incentive with a mailer. The games you produce are simple, but perfectly playable, and should keep most people engrossed for ten minutes. But if you want more control over the game making process, and you have more time, check out DarkBASIC...

The 3D Gamemaker - A dream or a nightmare? |
|
When i first heard about this product i was going mad! Creating 3D games without any coding whatso ever! It all seemed to good to be true. I rushed out to buy it without even trying a demo or asking about it to other buyers! What a mistake. Ok it does what it says - creates 3D games with a click of a mouse - but thats ALL it does! Basically you just choose a game style and just change the characters and world! Its very basic. On a good note i think younger children would enjoy it , and it is fun - but it jsut doesnt have enough scope!! Sorry DarkBasic software, try again!

Not good, and not bad  |

When I first saw this product on the internet, I thought
wow! A creator that doesnt require programming! My recent buys
with game creators have been not so good. The 3DGamemaker lets
you do some, up to a point. And I see lots of people say it
only lets you create one level, but those people havenot read
the manual.You can do quite a bit more. I havenot done what this is capable of so far. So I would say, its okay, but keep searching for a better one.
