Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

With a corporation-takes-over-the-world-style plot, Bet On Soldier allows players to do exactly what it promises with its title--that is, bet on the outcome of encounters with specific enemies. Before entering battle, players can wager on which particular enemy soldiers they are going to kill. When they encounter this enemy in the game, a duel will take place. Depending on the outcome, the player will either lose his stake or win a prize calculated according to his opponent's rank, his initial stake, and the length of time it took to win. Accrued credits can be used to upgrade the player's character, in order to challenge progressively tougher opponents.

The engrossing single-player game provides the player with an array of Elite Champion AIs, whom you encounter throughout the many levels, each with its own distinctive personality, ensuring variety in betting tactics.

This original angle on combat also forms the basis for the multi-player mode, which has a variety of classes available to the 32 players in each game. Each class will utilise the wide selection of weapons in its own specific way.

Visually, Bet on Soldier's proprietary Kt engine is a technical marvel, taking full advantage of pixel and vertex shaders alongside advanced specular effects. The engine also gives the game world real physical properties, and is based upon stunning technology developed over the previous six years.

1.0 out of 5 stars ATI Graphic Card ? Do Not Buy, 6 Oct 2005
Lets hear the good news first: nice intro ! The bad news is: if you're the proud owner of an ATI graphic card, thats probably all you'll see. After installing the game (+patch 1.2), I was ready to rumble, but as soon as I try to load a level, the computer reboots (yes, I've tried several times, believe me).
Searching the internet for clues, I found that quite a lot of ATI user seem to have a similar problem, the solutions I found (install older driver, change resolution) didn't solve the problem. Some people blame ATI, because their latest driver (5.9) does not work with this game, but I think that the companies who make the games should make them compatible to the given drivers, not vice versa. Anyway, I also tried to contact Digital Jesters Online Support, 2 Mails, no response. Conclusion: Seems to be a nice game (the demo was) and if you have a NVidia graphic card, go ahead and buy the game. ATI user should wait till Digital Jester solves the problem, all you'll own for the time being is a nice jewel case with some very shiny CD's and a handbook.

3.0 out of 5 stars bet on soldier, 20 Nov 2005
When I also purchased BET ON SOLDIER it crashed my machine,my machine only being 4 days old,I went straight on the net and had a patch then loaded that in restartred the machine and it was ok 4 3 days until i was shot 3 times game crashed.
So I go out and pay more money for another games machine with 2 6800gs pci-express with all the top stuff every top game plays like a dream so i try b-o-soldier flying through first level game goes down this games programme is built into my cards and still it takes me down.
I try 2 get another patch all these so called sites will not me get another patch
The backup for this game is rubbish the game makers need to get a day job or go work for currys has they have the same after sale service.
And don,t even bother with gameshadow has they told me it,s nothing 2 do with them although they are linked with the game

1.0 out of 5 stars "Bet On Throwing Your Money Away" it should be called, 8 Oct 2005
As with the other review i also only get to watch the opening credits before it crashes my system. My PC fully meets the recomended system requirements for this game, including a NVIDIA graphics card but still it does'nt play. Tried downloading the patch, changing screen resolution etc etc etc but all to no avail.

ABSOLUTLEY DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!
