Contrary to gamespot's downing review this game has much to offer, the story is fantastic for the genre. Awesome alien..

While the graphics of the game resemble those of a Doom/Halo (ok but not great), the variety of monsters and friends you find in the way offer enough detail to admire. Gigantic ships, bases with plenty of details. There are no puzzles in the game. Many things about the mechanics are rather daring, you can drive a car, tourrete, spaceship and your walking, jumping and dodging are fun too. This game feels like as close as an fps fun will ever get to playing an RPG. The story will involve you and make you ask for more level to level. The music is absolutely fantastic, all sound in general is very well represented. The game lasts abou 10-12hours just the same as a Half-Life or a Max Payne, so for those who think is short then maybe you liked it too much ; ) and you should pray for a sequel. I myself would love to play the continuation to this game.
Cons: This is completely a console game, everything moves a bit retarded for a PC player. Graphics do not match those expected by a PC game either everything from the way things move and look will remind you of playing in front of a TV. Because of the controls made with a gamepad in mind it is rather difficult to throw things, all keys need to be mapped for those two abilities and two abilities only (more crippled stuff from console)
P.S. I think games like these should have a label that indicates made for console. The learning curve is 4 or more hours becaus you keep on getting new powers you have to exercise.
