When it sucks, it really sucks. And when it rocks, IT TOTALLY ****ING ROCKS!
* Intermittent trial and error gameplay
* Context sensitive actions that often frustratingly go horrible wrong
* If you happen to fall and not die during a vertical based jumping puzzle, you have to start all over again rather than take a checkpoint you it may have saved near the top. There is no "revert to last checkpoint" option.
* There is no save function, fueling the frustration of all of the above.
* Fighting is sometimes very difficult.
*The game is short, 1 play through lasts about 5 hours including all the trial and error.
Don't let any of these flaws prevent you from giving this game a rent however, as this game also offers:
* A great, engrossing storyline, that while short, has a few twists and tricks up its sleeve.
* Absolutely perfect graphics that make a great use of the Unreal Engine.
* Innovative mechanics that take 1st person platforming to a unprecedented high.
* The shortness of the game makes it perfect for a single, immersive playthrough.
* No game has ever made running away so exhilarating.
In short, give this game a rent. Its not for everyone, and it doesn't have enough content to warrant a purchase. But it deserves a rent among almost any other game.
