note i am reveiwing this game around past 2 year this game was released, but nonetheless, this is a very fun game that is very hard but in a fun, intense, ninja gaiden way, cept wit guns. the gameplay does not seem dated although this game is 2 years old and the second one is right around the corner. like Max Payne, u can dive foward, sideways, or backwards using adrenaline which slows down time but allows you to aim in real time. he dives a bit more cool that max payne, wit his legs spread wide but seems totally unnecessary in parts. you can also get your back to a wall and pop out and shoot. you also have a dog at your disposal and can attack with him as long as his stamina is full. this is not as cool as it seems on paper and just seems like a lil gimmick. still awesome though. one part i thought was completely off the walls was being able to take the weapons of armed enemies when your unarmed and backfiring it on them while uou take the weapons. totally awesome and "DAMN' moment. u also have the ability to take human sheilds and are very helpful. for the xbox, this game is INCREDIBLY difficult. although u will gelt better wit practice, this game just keeps on geting harder and harder. and plus, the camera is a bear to struggle wit as you have to keep on manually moving itand adjusting it so you can see your targets. sometimes the camrea is your real worst enemy and gets friggin annoying. its good sometimes and when it does work is perfectly fine. i thought the games graphcis were pretty poor with bland enviroments, just average character models and repeated enemy models as well. gun fire looks decent and the blood and gore sure heightens the experience. there are some real decnet animations with the weapon jacking and is incredibly fun. sound is ok, script aint that bad but the vo's could use some work. gun fire sound realistic at least. this game IS HARD, itll keep u playing for a while if ur into it, but its also one of those games for some people where it might be too frustating and not want them to pay it again. it is a long game too. aabout 15-20 hours give or take u up to the challenge? wanna lil taste of dead to rights 2? cant get ne worse so buy this game, if ulike it have fun nd get dead to rights 2. if u dont, thats up to u, if u think this game is ok but needed some work, take a look a dead to rights 2 signed, RidiNG ShOtGUN
