Let me go down the "Attribute" (Bare with me its my first review) Gameplay (9/10): This game has all what you would expect in a FPS, Its got crouch and a Jump which seems to be the most important feature on a FPShooter. An A.I. in that is just smart and not annoying like other games. They actually look for cover and wait their while they reload and get a better shot at you. The story is well written and the cut-scene is well directed. Loading times are short. Graphics (7/10): The in-game graphics are very much average. It seemed it doesnt have that much polygons in a character. The lip-syncing and the facial expressions of the character isnt very good. The framerate slows down sometimes when to much stuff is going on but it happens very rarely. No widescreen or HD support. Sound (8/10): The sound is good on this game. Its got a very precise sounds on each gun. The background music during play is exciting. Although, it doesnt seem to have any surround sound support which means a character might be talking then you move around and you can still hear him in-front of you and not behind you. Value (8/10): I assume you want to know about the replay value. On every completed mission you get a grade, so since their is a grading system then you can replay it over and over again until you get an A grade. Online play also adds a little value into this game. It doesnt have a robust online features but it is fun playing with other people instead of an A.I. btw... This game also got an offline multiplayer up to 4 splitscreens and up to 3 bots. So if you dont have online capabilities you could play alone against up to 3 other bots. They are a challenging bots, they seem to get smarter with every deaths they take. no LAN support. Reviewer's Tilt (8/10): This stuff are misc. things that doesnt fit into the other "Attributes" and that I would like to acknowledge. The voice acting is good, its probably because they got accents. The ragdoll physics is just amazing, you can tear people apart if you wish. Its got region specific damage. The distributable and movable objects is fun and very much useful. You can use a dumpster to shield yourself then move it with you. The guns has a solid performance. They've got a lot of guns to choose from but of course you can only take 2 types at a time. Final Words: So... its an overall good game, worth a rent but not a buy.

Like it or not, first person shooters are judged very much by their graphics. Halo, Doom 3, Half-Life 2 and The Chronicles of Riddick all drew a lot of attention, mostly due to their outstanding visuals. You may also n... Read Full Review
