Dismissed by most as a simple Commandos clone, Desperados surprised everybody at a recent press showing in Germany by proving it has more to offer than just cowboys and Indians. Actually Desperados has only one Indian in the entire game, but that's because in 1880 Native Americans didn't venture as far south as New Mexico or Louisiana. Duh. Didn't you know? We do.Well, we do now anyway; Offenburg based developer Spellbound Entertainment told us.
Aye Caramba!
At a glance, there's no disputing the fact that Desperados is Commandos with a Wild West sheen. But as Infogrames producer Ralph Adam explains, the differences are subtle, yet significant: 'We have more than 30 different types of enemy, whereas in Commandos there were three. All of our enemies react differently too. There are the Mexicans who are pretty stupid, through to the Sheriffs who are very smart. If you watch any enemy for a while and study how they behave, you get a feeling of how intelligent they really are, and how they will react to you.' There's a truth to Herr Adam's statement that is hard to appreciate unless you physically sit down and play the game. We did, and on all of the game's 25 levels Mexicans are indeed portrayed as cowardly arse-scratching morons whose appetite for tequila and whores render them ineffective as guards and highly susceptible to imaginative forms of bribery. Whereas if you're attempting to infiltrate a Confederate Fortress, the discipline of the soldiers within means you have to work overtime hiding behind every rock, cactus and bush available to remain undetected.
Desperado Pc Game
In order to make the extraordinary AI work perfectly there are ten personality-defining attributes for every type of enemy and civilian. These include criteria such as resistance to alcohol, laziness, gambling, shot accuracy, courage, sense of duty, and the urge to have sex. Again, it's our sombrero-wearing friends who seem to take the brunt of Spellbound's playful stereotyping, but will real Mexicans see it as harmless fun?
Infogrames' senior product manager, Michael Bach doesn't believe its portrayal of Mexicans is unduly harsh: 'We're just presenting the Wild West the way it was. There's actually a Mexican in the game who's very powerful. We also have Chinese, Negroes and women, so Desperados is a multicultural game.' At this point Ralph Adam jokingly implies that the main bad guy is actually Kevin Keegan. And there's us thinking this was a strategy game...
Spaghetti Overdose
In fairness, no one can accuse Spellbound of shirking its research or not taking the game seriously.As well as sifting through literature on American history circa 1880, everybody from the graphic artists to the CEO has been on a two year Western film bender to ensure the facts are straight. Whether having John Wayne or Clint Eastwood as a personal tutor actually qualifies you as an expert in these matters is questionable to say the least, but one thing a relentless diet of Spaghetti Westerns can do is instill a definite graphical style. And, as we're sure you'll agree, that aspect of Desperados is beautifully done.
The team's total and utter devotion to everything Wild West has also led to what should be a real edge-of-the-seat Western plot with saloon brawls, train robberies and Maverick inspired feisty female skulduggery.The sue main characters in this epic digital Western (John Cooper, Kate O'Hara, Samuel Williams, Doc McCoy, Paulo Sanchez and Mia Young) all have distinct personalities as well as each having five unique skills to help crowbar the team out of all manner of predicaments. In total that's 30 basic skills covering such innovations as kicking Mexicans in the bollocks (the favourite move of Infogrames' spanking PR person, Lynn 'Daddy' Daniel), explosives experts, balloons filled with poison gas, blinding enemies with make-up mirrors and of course good of fashion guns and knives. There's no preset way of completing a level either, so it's left up to the player's instincts to decide by what means they will progress. Gas, guns, groin... The scope for experimentation is virtually limitless.
Line'em Up
Desperados has another ace up its tricky poker playing sleeves: the line of sight routine is in full 3D.In other words, if you see a bandit on a balcony, you can sneak underneath without him even knowing you're there - unless you make too much noise, of course. Yes, there are basic stealth elements in place, and again you'll eventually have to learn which characters are best when it comes to sneaking around bandit territory and the like. And if you're ever unsure of the whereabouts of your enemies, there are three different levels of zoom to choose from, as well as an overview map depicting the location of every man, woman and child on the level.
All this and Desperados isn't due for release until April - and apparently, according to Infogrames Germany, there's another major surprise to come. Maybe it'll be the size of the Mexican's moustaches. Maybe it'll be a free Fajita with every copy sold. Or maybe, just maybe, it'll be released on time.
