A Stereoscopic Review of the "Bet on Soldier" Series



Prepare your depth perception apparatus, this is a stereoscopic review of Bet on Soldier. An Unreal Tournament style shooter developed by the French company, Kylotonn Games and released in 2005, with a couple of follow up games released in the years following. Bit of an older game, but that is the biggest reason why I chose to review this, because when it comes to playing Games in 3D the older or simpler the game, the better the compatibility is.

But let's see if that rule-of-thumb holds up to this title. As you can see, the menu layouts are in 2D, not surprising with older titles like these. Upon diving into a new game or resuming an old save game, you are presented with a seemingly flawless 3D experience. However upon some further analysis, I could only find one flaw: the skybox is displayed at the wrong depth. However not to an extreme degree, as it is only noticeable upon close examination. Otherwise I find myself paying more attention towards the environment and the AI characters.

Despite that relatively unnoticeable drawback, I give this game the rating of "Excellent" as the map, models, and lighting all display properly in 3D space, and can certainly give a player an increased sense of immersion.
