Where's the multiplayer?

There was so much hype about this game, that it led me to buy it the day it came out. I figured since the demo was so amazing, that the game had to be just as good. Well, it was... alright. The story was almost non-existent. In fact, the story was probably the worst thing about the game. After completing a long, tiring level you would be punished by having to see two people talking in some smoke-filled room about nothing. What's worse is that you can't skip through the so-called story.

The whole movie explosion aspect of the game was definitely accomplished by the developers. There's some really cool explosions in this game that are quite nice to look at! The A.I. is pretty good along with the A.I. physics. The excellent physics made sniping even more fun. In my opinion, every good FPS needs a multi-player, and this game doesn't have one. I know the developers said that they wanted to concentrate on an amazing campaign, but FPS fans all love multi-player. The lack of multi-player left me no reason to keep the game after I completed it. Like I said, the game was just "alright."

    Critierion decided to make a FPS that shares the common goal with its famous racing franchise, Burnout, with spectacular explosions that gets your heart going, judging from their resume, you'll expect something good, but... Read Full Review
