Since there aren't many humans left, most houses are empty but often there are at least chests or barrels you can look inside for health, fuel and weapons. As you're going about your business, mission objectives are sent via a wrist communicator from your mission center.
These transmissions give you a general idea of where to go next. In one case, a message comes through talking about a fire spreading through the local village.
Luckily there was a fire station earlier on, so all you have to do is make it back there, hop in a fire truck and actually go and put the fire out with a polygonal stream of water--and that's just in the first level. At first glance Body Harvest may remind some of Blast Corps but that's definitely on the surface.
The game is quite original and has a lot of depth even in the beta version we saw. Events take place chronologically and vehicles shift as you travel from the past to the semi-distant future. All of this, combined with the robust story line, 1, virtual square miles of environment, smooth graphics and an ambient soundtrack make Body Harvest a very unique title for the N This game has maintained a positive buzz since it was first previewed way back before the N64's launch. But is Body Harvest worth the incredibly long wait?
You bet. Man, this game is huge! Your time-traveling hero trods through four continent-size levels, each set at different points in the 20th century and divided into several stages with a final Boss level set on a comet. The stages in turn are packed with objectives--such as rescuing stranded people with a boat or tracking down scattered pieces of an ancient artifact. All the while you're battling hordes of Starship Troopers-esque aliens.
And while your guy's weapons are cool, it's the vehicles he can tool around in that really keeps things interesting. As in the Amiga classic Midwinter, you can commandeer cars, trucks, tanks, boats, helicopters, planes, motorcycles--more vehicles than I can count. Control is ideal, too, making it easy to drive in one direction and shoot in another.
The movie-quality music is first-rate for an N64 game. Only the RPG side--which has you talking to townspeople, digging through chests, etc. There's something incredibly groovy about a game where you can say, "Hey, wouldn't it be really cool if you could do this The sheer scope and scale is unbelievable and the inte gration of the different gameptay elements--shooting, driving, role-playing, etc.
An ambitious game that's well worth the long wait. That's what I like about it. Complementing that are the cool mission objectives and balanced level progression even though most of the levels are hard as hell. Being able to get into any vehicle you come across is a great feature. BH may be a little sloppy in its overall look but it's a very interesting game.
Right off the bat, I have to say that Body Harvest's RPG bits are weak, which is too bad, considering that the addition of these elements is supposedly why the game spent so long in development. Otherwise though, it's a kick-ass, intriguing shooter with an amazing assortment of vehicles to drive and fly through the enormous worlds.
It may look like a first-generation N64 game, but don't let that fool you--BH is very cool. Aliens are attacking the Earth and you must save the human race from becoming the lunch of a few militant xenomorphs. To do this you must commandeer several vehicles to fight the enemies on the land, at sea or in the air. Some of the vehicles at your disposal include a helicopter and a semi-truck.
Not particularly the best weapons to save the Earth with, but you'll take what you can get. The graphics are comprised of texture-mapped polygons much like the other Nintendo 64 titles. There is plenty of rotation and scaling to show off the powers of Nintendo's new system. The array of vehicles combined with unusual man-eating aliens make Body Harvest one unique experience!
Body Harvest is another one of those "save the Earth from the invading aliens" type of games, but this time you aren't just in a spaceship--you're inside a variety of earthling vehicles that really weren't designed to save the planet. The texture-mapped polygon graphics are very apparent, giving an eerie feeling that fits in with an invasion of man-eating aliens. The use of a fogging effect on the distant landscape, which is built into the system, adds even more to the special mood a player gets while playing the game.
We've only seen some early shots of this one and so far we know that players control Adam Drake through time as he tries to stop an alien race from harvesting humans. The aliens ultimately want to take over. There are over vehicles in the game including tanks, boats and even a nicely wasp.
This one will mostly be a destructive action title with shaded polygons. Granted, Body Harvests graphics look like they were sketched out on a napkin before being transferred directly into the game, and the smothering fog almost pu Turok's pea-souper to shame, but DMA's three-years-in-the-maklng allen-lnvaslon epic plays a compleI storm.
And Its horribly depressing to think that, along with the equalb fantastic - and equally underrated - Silicon Valley, Body Harvest only sold about ooh, ten copies. Ostensibly a simple shoot-'em-up with the accent on mowing down legions of insectoid invaders, Body Harvest also throws in some RPG -style character interaction, plentiful puzzles, some utterly vast levels and over 60 - yes, 60 - different types of vehicles to bomb around in "A gold-lined stroke of genius", said Tim in his review, and he wasn't wrong.
Whilst the time taken to develop the game meant the graphics looked a little dated, DMA made the most of the three years and stashed the game full of joypad-gripping things to do. Ferrying a merchant ship full of refugees across a volcanic lake whilst being strafed by huge bomber bugs; borrowing a fire engine to douse a flaming Greek village whilst fighting off a harvester wave; raising sunken cities to find an essential piece of equipment Sure, your main concern is to track down the harvester waves in an effort to save the human race, but there's just so much more to it.
Its involving, wonderfully constructed and totally engrossing. The music, also, is superb. Moody and atmospheric, then thundering, strident and cinematic in combat, its simply cracking. And, coupled with the vast levels - set in five disparate time zones, packed with detail and things to do, and peopled with hundreds of different characters - it helps no end in making Body Harvest one of the most engrossingly evocative games we've ever played.
So, then. Whilst it does look like the videogame equivalent of boiled cabbage, Body Harvest plays an absolute storm. You can find it in most shops for about twenty quid nowadays; our advice, if you haven' already, is to buy it It's great. Okay, so it looks like Bob Geldof's slightly scabbier brother, but it plays like an absolute gem, full of everything that makes shoot-'em-up's great: ground-shattering bugs, rivers of blood and innards, screen-rumbling explosions and those brilliant, brilliant vechicles.
It's not the best-looking game on the N64, but I love the way it combines the best aspects of a shoot-'em-up with puzzly bits. I also like the way, you can just forget your mission objectives and wander off on homicidal escapades of your own. Well, I could've opted to play the game properly.
Instead, it seemed far more amusing to spend my time squelching the innocent humans under the hudge wheels of my very heavy tank. Hours of fun, I promise you. The problem with carrying any story on Body Harvest is that, even though we at N64were invited to see the game running, we weren't allowed to bring any screenshots away with us.
Unfortunately, you see, Nintendo of Japan stepped in and slapped a whacking great 'Keep Out' sticker on the game. And, to make matters worse, previous screenshots aren't really relevant as the game has changed quite a bit since they were taken. Whereas once it may have been a straightforward cross-time shoot-'em-up, it has now evolved into a totally immersive action RPG where everything within a specified area, from houses to vehicles, can be used, and people must be chatted-up in order to progress.
In fact, vehicular activity is very much top of Body Harvest's agenda, with over land, sea and air modes of transport available, including ice cream vans, tanks and fire engines. However, the game is much more than merely a drive-'em-up, with different time zones having to be visited in order to prevent Invasion of the Body Snatcher -style extra terrestrial high jinks.
Graphically it's a workmanlike performance rather than a wave of visual splendour but, in-game, things get pretty darn exciting with the screen-filling other-worldly invaders providing a welcome diversion from the puzzles and four-legged beasties that beset you much of the time. The loose ends have yet to be tied up, but -- damn it -- we're expecting big things. Body Harvest was one of the very first games announced for the N64, and now, nearly two years later, it's arrived.
Based on what we'd already seen of it, it looked as thought it was going to be awesome. Is it? Well, yes Body Harvest is big, different enough to stand out among the clutter of Mario clones, and ambitious in a way that very few N64 games dare to be. However, it's not without a few problems. First, the plot. By the year , they've snacked upon just about everybody except lone survivors Adam Drake and Daisy Hernandez aboard their space station.
Said space station is handily equipped with a time machine. Hooray for our side! With stops in Greece , Java , America , Siberia and the alien mothership in , our heroes have their work cut out for them.
Sensibly, Daisy remains inside the time machine while despatching the slab-chinned Adam into the alien-infested yonder to do all the hard work. Body Harvest's stages are structured affairs; each world has been divided up into sections by alien forcefields that prevent the Bugs' lunch from escaping.
The overall aim in each section is to disable the alien forcefields and move on to the next area, but in order to do this there are numerous tasks that have to be carried out first.
