The game has flaws. But the community will defend this game to death. No matter what critic reviews this game. Nobody can say that it is "not" fun. The online play from people is great, has no disconnects, and includes different in-game chatting media, (Like texting, and VC). Now don't get me wrong the community has died down over 2020, and 2021. But their are still roughly 30 - 40 people online daily. Now for an indie game that topped charts in Japan, along with BMZ (BattlerminerZ). With about 2000 copies *Ice Station Z sold in Japan alone, That is some great sales, and thats not including, Korean, North America, & Europe sold games as well. The game has its down sides though, in 2020 and this year, Their have been alot of hackers. (I make plugins and cheats for the game, I should know). The games downsides come with poor graphics, But from what I can gather the game was planned in 1998 for an unknown platform. So it isn't that bad, and besides it reminds people of N64 and PSX graphics. Gameplay is long and boring if you don't know where everyone goes to. (Normally Graybase *Centre of the map, or the Oil Rig *Off of the main map). Walking is a pain in game, crawling is worse though. The real bummer is the lack of locations and a larger map. But as I've said before, The game was made with 248mb of game memory in mind. Ice Station Z brought with a a cult following for Wobbly Tooth Ltd. (The developer) The game is still fun in most cases, And the online play is above anything Nintendo brought us in 2016, The game is only active at certain times in 2021 (8am - 11am eastern USA time, 5pm - 6:30pm eastern USA time & 10pm - 2:30am eastern USA time), But the lack of locations, confusing community of players, and the slow walk speed, give the game a 7/10 rating.
