Incoming, the predecessor to
Incoming Forces, was a revolutionary game when it debuted in 1998. The graphical quality that it displayed was among the greatest on the market at the time. With that said,
Incoming Forces has a lot to live up to when compared to its precursor. What you will see with
Incoming Forces, while acceptable and in no way disgusting, does not have that same awe inspiring state-of-the-art ideal as the original. In some cases, the graphics from
Incoming Forces simply mimic that of
Incoming. The terrains and spaces appear empty and seem to lack the realism that today's industry standard games possess.
Although the basic maps lack interest, particle effects such as explosions and artillery shots are virtually stunning. A plethora of colors and lights fill the screen as vehicles are blown to oblivion with streams of quantum waves. Furthermore, the realistic modeling of buildings and units adds to the sensation of real time alien warfare. Sound effects crowd every operation and action in Incoming Forces. You will hear tanks rolling across the desert, aircraft roaring through the skies, and bullet shots from all directions. The musical score is equally as engaging, although the score is not present during actual game play. Nevertheless, the changes in theme and mood presented by the score during cut scenes and menus, range from high-adrenaline rush to somber tear-jerking lifelessness.
