Anomaly Warzone Earth - An Indie Game Review ... and more reviews!

[MJBrune]

Hello,

I am from indiegamereviewer.com where we just finished a review of Anomaly Warzone Earth. I really enjoyed AWZ; it had a great (albeit curtailed) story, good controls, clean, good-looking graphics, immersive sound design, some legitimately exciting gameplay, and no bugs that I could detect. For an indie studio, I can say I am rather impressed with 11bit on their first release. I hope to see more from them in the future.

The full review can be read here: http://www.indiegamereviewer.com/anomaly-warzone-earth-an-indie-game-review/

Thank you all for your time and please continue to enjoy this great game from 11bit :)

PC Gamer rated Anomaly with 84. Please, could someone -who owns this issue of the magazine- quote what is in there?

...and we just were sent no. 243 of French mag Joystick - where Anomaly Warzone Earth was given a "Joystick Megastar" award and rated 17/20.

(thanks to Fabio from Joystick)
