a great mix of First Person Shooter, Puzzle, and RPG elements

The Good - an amazing atmosphere and story introduction places you superbly in a 1950's era world. You can customize your play style to get through the game as a classic shooter, bio-tech power player, or a hybrid of both. Weapons and bio-tech can be upgraded so you are not waiting for the next great weapon to switch to. Good story and audio. Some classic one liners in terms of story telling and mobs. The game graphics look great even on a modest PC.

The bad - the story nose dives towards the end and seems rushed. The ending cut scenes seem rushed also. This is not a "classic" PC shooter in terms of old school (stand there and blow everything away with your guns like in Doom) or new school (hide behind objects and make head shots like in FEAR). The game plays more like Oblivion where you are constantly moving and weaving. This is not bad thing (i liked it) unless you expected more of a FPS game.

The Ugly - Too many mini-bosses/ NPC use the same model as the enemy mobs, they could not have created a couple of more models?
