Oddly Addictive

It was the Character-design and S.M.A.R.T. system that caught my eye at first glance. I decided to follow the game and waited anxiously on its release. Finally the game fell on my doorstep. I started creating a character, which is already fun on its own, and began with the challenges. I advise to start with the challenges, because you will learn the basics of the game and earn unlockables like Weapons, clothing, abilities and weapon accessories. I say "basics" of the game, but it is actually a bit harder than any other game in its category. You will have to perform according to 1-star specs, 2-star specs and 3-star specs. After completing the challenges you can start playing the campaign against bots or go online: multiplayer or coop. I just started with the campaign and I'm really happy I bought this game! It is really something else. The S.M.A.R.T system allows you to hop over or slide under or jump on obstacles in your way. You simply look into the direction you need to take action and press the S.M.A.R.T button. It is a really great way to interact with the surrounding and it does not confine you the area you are playing in. If you want to hop over the fence, via the roof of a container, hop over another fence and melee an opponent. It is possible.
The weapons are great and easy accessible through the entire area through command-posts; you can carry only 2. You can also pimp all weapons seperately. Unlocking abilities is also a very interesting thing, but don't forget there are also several classes. And each class has got its own abilities..

**will be updated, need to play more**
