Far Cry meets Operation Flashpoint, with the Jungle mission from Hitman 2
rolled up into a single game.
It's a solid B+ title. It is not as good (polished is probably a fair
descriptive) as Far Cry or as good as Opflash, but it has many similar
elements. If you enjoyed these titles you will probably like Boiling point.
But it does have some rough edges and could use some bug fixes for various
minor issues.

What various minor issues? Could you list them as I want to be sure that
what is minor for you isn't major for me.

I should get mine tomorrow but there is something quite a promising
piece of a review:
http://www.boiling-point.net/
Thanks to GiftJohnny for letting us know that gaminghq.de have
published a review of Boiling Point giving it a rather respectable 88%
Here is a translation of the final paragraph:
"The first several hours I was glued to the screen. But I had to
realize in the first few minutes that the graphics are not up to the
standard of todays games. It is bearable if you take into account that
there are no loading times throughout the whole game. In spite of the
fact that you have to drive around a lot, the handling of the cars is
not very good but you get used to it. The unique environment, the many
means to interact with it and the fact that all of your actions have
consequences for the development of the game are truly fascinating. I
was a bit upset about every tenth NPC looks the same. That aside,fans
of action and RPG games should take a closer look."

The game runs well on my Athlon 3200XP, ATI 9800 Pro, 1GIG-based
system at 1024 x 768 but I get terrible motion sickness after a few
minutes (I think it's driving around in the vehicles that does this).
Other than that it seems like a really decent, fairly unusual "free
form" type of game that tries to do something a little different. I
hope it becomes a best seller. We need more successful PC-only type
games to bring new life & blood to the genre and keep it competitive &
healthy.

Played for about half an hour, it feels like a sophisticated version of
Postal 2. Very rough graphics, paricuarly on the characters, the vehicle
handling is horrible, bad voice acting ... but the scope of the game
could make up for this.
Couple of bugs I've spotted so far -
Mans briefcase floating along behind him,
Left my car at the top of a slope, it inched its way down, touched a
pedestrian and killed him,

GRR!! I just got in my car, there was a mafia guy stood in front of it,
getting into the car seemed to 'activate' it in some way as the guy died
instantly resulting in me being attacked from all angles.

ok! ok!
its obvious this is damaging pc games and taking away the
focus from the REAL issues so i'll tell what titles i've
bought so we can get over it
now first let me leave some notes before people flame me
1. yes they are all budget pc games but that doesn't mean
i don't buy full price just released titles and i do but
in may i didn't happen
2. yes it features pc games from publishers i am against
microsof has been damaging pc games by promoting consoles
and ea has been trying to take over ubisoft which is very
wrong and shows their greedy monopolistic intentions but
in either examples i don't think i should boycott their
games but rather complain about their actions
3. finally my most controversial choice... i already had
it but an older edition and i decided to buy it for three
reasons, first it will no longer be available after this
summer so this way i'll keep a copy specially cause i'm
also a collector, second although its from them it hasn't
any abusive or intrusive technologies and last its my way
of celebrating, yes it was a victory vivendi deciding to
stop selling their game so to celebrate i decided to buy it
.. starlancer (xplosiv)
.. freelancer (xplosiv)
.. need for speed underground (ea classics)
.. half-life (best seller)
as i always do all of them are english european editions in
standard dvd type packaged box cd-rom media
hope i will not be bothered again with this issue...
now that this is behind... let go back to the real and
important issues in pc games!

Hold on there, chief. After having played the game at HIGH detail
settings, I found myself blown away by how beautiful it is (almost Far
Cry Levels) and only wish I had a more powerful video card than my
aging ATI 9800 Pro (which just barely plays Doom 3 at acceptable frame
rates at 1024 X 768 at high settings). Now I have to go back to the
uglier "normal" graphics settings because the game chugs at 1024 X 768
at anything higher than this. I'm afraid the 9800 Pro is no longer
the optimal choice if you want to play the latest PC games with all
the eye candy ON. "Boiling Point" so far is a beautiful, unusual game
that I may be becoming addicted to (right now in the very early stages
I have to figure out how to get some petrol for my vehicle) but I
really REALLY wish I had a better card so I could really crank those
detail settings. I hope it becomes the "Morrowwind" of the
"mercenary"-type FPSs. I'd love to find a tweak guide for BP to get
the most out of older ATI Radeon cards.

I have it maxxed out at 12x10 and sorry, but to say that it is almost at
Far Cry level is an absolute joke.

you can have a meal for 5 bucks but you can also find one

The ATI 9800 Pro starts a'chuggin' with Boiling Point at just the HIGH
detail settings, let alone the VERY HIGH graphics settings, and this
at a lousey 1024 X 768. Unless people get a good deal on this, I
don't recommend the 9800 Pro for those looking to even the immediate
future who want to play at max settings for every new game beyond 1024
X 768. For the casual gamer, it's probably fine though. I feel sorry
for those with flat-panel monitors stuck at a native resolution of
1024 X 1280 (my favorite resolution) who use this card & want to play
newer, graphics-intensive games. They'll have to really swallow the
jaggies with some of the newer PC game releases.

Eurogamer have a review up:

I think I will wait for a patch or two before buying it.

first i have never played a pc game with a screen resolution
higher than 800x600 and most of the times i use 640x480 and
for me its fine no need for more
second lcd are not the best choice for pc games and are still
at least two times more expensive than crt so why would you
choose it to play pc games?
for me ati radeon 9800 pro is still an excellent choice but if
i had the cash i would rather buy now a nividia 6600gt instead
which is almost the same price
owner of the 9800 pro should feel happy for what they have but
new buyers have better choices now, but thats natural and very
healthy for the market

you are really something...
so this time its the patch excuse... i though you being the
"demo man" you would instead use the "demo" excuse
one thing for sure "demo man"... no one like you plays as
many demos and buys less pc games... in that field you're
simply the best

Now, let me blow the dust off... Ah here is Ultima Underworld: the
Stygian Abyss and Ultima Underworld II:Labyrinth of Worlds. And
my DOS/Win95/98/Me multi-boot machine. And over in this corner
here are Amiga versions of Faery Tale Adventure, Dungeon Master
and Chaos Stikes back. And here on this table is an Amiga 500
and an Amiga 1080 monitor....
