Summary
Silent, boring, repetitive...Play Fighting Force 1 instead.
The Good
The premise is interesting; cloning has been outlawed and you playing as Mercenary Hawk Mason must investigate. Combat is straight forward without millions of complicated combos to memorize and there is a fair amount of weaponry to experiment with. A first person mode which can be utilized to accurately fire weapons and throw grenades or knives is also executed nicely.
The Bad
The music is more or less simply ambiance which is boring and repetitive, speaking of repetitive so is the "go here, push this, kill this person" gameplay. Textures are gross and bland and characters, although animated smoothly are blocky and look as if they are made of Lego. Boss battles aren't challenging, if you can spare some ammo until them you can waste boss characters in a matter of seconds.
The Bottom Line
In an effort to incorporate adventure elements into the Fighting Force series Core have shot themselves in the foot. Gameplay is monotonously repetitive, music is virtually non-existent, characters look like they are made of Lego and textures are bland. Some nice lighting, straight forward combat and a good First Person mode do not make up for the fact that this is a severely boring game. Fighting Force 1 on the Playstation is at least slightly entertaining. There are better adventures awaiting on the Dreamcast and I suggest you hunt them down before even approaching this.
