Just finished el matador...it left a strange feeling of something with good potential but crappy design. First of all, the game mechanics are close to a classy arcade game, it may fit game consoles, but sure screws up a PC title. Learning curve is about 20 mins...the game is very easy as concept but artificially designed to get harder only because there are lots of enemies to shoot, and some of them have abit more health. The game itself is very short..only 6 chapters that u can finish in 1 day. So you have the classic bad-guys...you have guns...you have some AI help witch sucks by the way (some times your entire squad is wiped by 1 guy with a grenade)...you also have a bullet time thingy wich is useless in most cases..all these things wraped in a game that resembles a bad copy of max payne.
