Wasteland 2 - Beta Preview @ IGR

iGame Responsibly has a new preview of Wasteland 2 based on the beta version.

The original Wasteland was a game ahead of its time in 1988 and introduced gamers to the first post-apocalyptic RPG. Fallout, something of a spiritual successor, perfected the art in 1997. Gaming has come a long way since the 80′s and 90′s, and while Wasteland 2 admirably attempts to marry the old school style of the original with modern gaming touches, something seems to have been lost in the translation. There is a lot to like in Wasteland 2 in its current Beta form. The setting of an Arizona wasteland is fun to explore, the voice acting is very good, and the music is excellent. But some clunky interface problems and a few questionable design choices can induce an amount of work and frustration that tends to spoil the overall experience.
