Whoa...not bad!
An interesting story, yet at times a bit too...eh. Its a standard sci-fi alien takeover the world FPS, with some interesting twists and turns. Whilst trying to convince his girl friend to move out of town with him, aliens suddenly start abducting humans.Hmm. Hold on it gets better!
Plot 6/10
The gameplay stretchs out more than an average FPS. You're objectives dont simply consist of "Go kill the leader!", at the begginingyou simply progress through the "Sphere" blasting up enemies with a varied selection of weapons. Not only will dispatching the aliens be easy but almost too easy. The punch line: You do not die!. It is almost impossible to lose to this game by the third level as the Death walk mini game will make you practically immortal. By shooting a flying spirit whilst "incapacitated" you will suddenly spring back to life through the help of your ancestors. Other than the fact that you're inperveous to death, the difficulty varies between you're skill: If you can hit your target, or if you can't it really dosen't make a difference. The spirit walk ability can add a certain puzzle element by trying to figure out if you're ment to walk through a laser field as a ghost or go up the ceiling.
Gameplay 7/10
The graphics however are quite amazing, a high level of detail was definetly put into ths game. The weapons are detailed and very precise,and whilst your foes will be unloading plasma, you will still be drooling at the blood effects.
Graphics 9/10
The sound effects are quite linnear and will not really change throughout your "spiritual journey". Enemies will still be grunting and howling in pain whilst Tommy will be continiusly swearing about where he is.
Sound 6/10
The multiplayer may appeal to some however, most will find the lack of content off-putting. If a gamerscore and and a story is what your after, go for this or if not, rent it and be happy. Either way, its a great value for money!
