So much for a 'different' shooter.

I saw this game advertise itself as a different shooter, and that it is for those who are sick of the same shooters. Well, this is a lot like the other ones, and I don't see any great innovation here to distinguish this game from any other shooter. In fact, the ordinary shooter mechanics and the boring, glitchy, laggy multiplayer means that this game will get old quickly.

Its main problem is that it tries too hard. There is amazing graphics here, big energy blasts, cool enemies, stylish kills, lots of weapons and etcetera. But all these things are secondary (at least, to me) to good solid gameplay, and a story. I know most shooters have ordinary stories, but this doesn't have one at all. There is also too much swearing here. It doesn't make a big difference, but is it necessary? Its just another bit of evidence that this game tries too hard to sell itself.

It has a few appealing things and I would say for the casual player its worth a buy due to its humor and high production values. A more serious player will have to look elsewhere for a good shooter.
