I feel Dizzy :(
- Switching to your spirit to solve puzzles and get around to places you can't as the normal guy
- Wall walking
- Portals
- You can't die
When you do "die" all that happens is you go to a spirit world and res yourself :) It's pretty kool because IMO dying isn't fun and a new gameplay mechanic to make you want to carry on playing is kool
Alot of these features led to me being dizzy tho, you'll often think WTF is happening? Am i on the floor,walls or ceiling? Enemies can appear to be walking on the ceiling when infact you are lol. Sometimes you'll shoot enemies and they wont drop to the floor because they're already and you forgot your wall walking lol.
Alot of the puzzles can be confusing because they involve all these features at once and your head xplodes lol. Also sometimes you'll find yourself going back through the level to find codes to open doors to progress which can be annoying.
The game is about 10 hours long which is a great length and isnt too short or too long which leaves you happy instead of getting bored or disappointed.
The multiplayer reminds me ALOT of Quake 4 with Wall waking which is fun but it makes me way tooo dizzy and couldn't play it for that long. It didn't make me want to play it though like CS did and there isn't that many people playing.
The graphics and sounds are pretty kool aswel and there are some great hidden radios into the game that add a nice touch and are pretty long aswel. Only problem is i hate all the plastic look however it suits sci-fi games pretty well so i can't complain at all :) Overall its a great FPS game and i can't really fault it other than making me feel dizzy and sick while playing lol. The game is a perfect length and the story is pretty basic but thats what most FPS games come with. I loved the alien theme and everything + the Engine compliments it well.
Only problems is the multiplayer isn't that popular and i can't stand playing it for too long, however the single player is pretty good. It's sad but this is probally the last MAJOR game for the Doom 3 engine.
