A refreshing FPS experience.
User Rating: 9.6 | Darkwatch PS2
A FPS game needs 4 things before I can enjoy it. 1. The ability to jump 2. Interesting weapons that are not just cool looking, but satisfying to shoot (vibration and sound, Area 51 sucks for this reason). Who wants to shoot a rifle that sounds like a BB gun? 3. Good enemies that are challenging and not annoying. 4. Smooth and not sluggish controls. Also needs options to turn up the sensitivity and invert controls. Dark Watch has all 4 of these elements. I would take Dark Watch over Area 51 any day ("some call it the next Halo", yea right. Area 51 = disappointment). But keep in mind DW is no Halo. The single player is short, but incredibly fun. You find yourself in some unique situations and some will leave you going "Thats was cool". Sadly, Dark Watch's main downfall is graphics. DW just doesn't seem to have the polish that others have. Not to worry, the gameplay makes up for everything it lacks in graphics (much like Advent Rising did for me, why did nobody like that game, its not THAT BAD!!!). Dark Watch is a good buy and an entertaining game. Pick it up at gamestop, not EB, gamestop. Why? Cause EB are money hungry over pricing video game Nazis, thats why!!!
