Summary

Where the hell is this great game i read about?

The Good

Being a first person shooter drew me to this one quickly, the games environment was "pretty" and for the most part the sounds were good. For example: running on grass had an authentic sound to it. Playing around with the enemy’s surveillance cameras was kind of cool too. As i said before, the environment had a moody look to it, not too bad...BUT

The Bad

Reading the sparkling reviews by other players got my hopes up high... then i really dig into the game and my conclusion... it sucks, badly! For starters all the character models to choose from look like John Travolta (sp). If that wasn't bad enough you've got this stupid credits system, how can a few hundred credits make a gun shoot harder and further? The sniper rifle is pretty much useless unless you sink all of your credits into it, the handgun too, i would wind up using a clip and a half just to take out one guy. Ammo is sparse; i would pick up 10mm ammo from most of the fallen enemies only to have my gun empty when i needed it most. i really tried to like this game, I really did but i truly hate it, i uninstalled it as quick as i could and i'll probably use the disc as a Frisbee for my dog.

The Bottom Line

One thing i've learned here, just because a game has wonderful reviews don’t make it a blockbuster. After playing this terrible game i honestly couldn't recommend it to anyone with a straight face.
