Awesome storyline, amazing online community, online game options used a drag.
So the story, very interesting and immersive. You play a man named Nathan Hale who *SPOILER* is infected early on in the game but some how survives since he is apparently immune to the bugs that infect you. Once infected, you start to gain traits of the chimeras (Which are the aliens that are you enemies fyi) for e.g. regen health, shiny golden eyes (which is noted in the game several times), aggressive, and stronger than a normal human being...since you arent one :P. *END OF SPOILER*
Gameplay is pretty much what I expected from a fps console game, very quirky at first but the learning curve isn't bad at all. The aiming will piss you off but thank god for auto-aim on the single player, some online games however...ehhh. I have been playing fps since cs beta, and I loved cs 1.5 (My opinion the greatest cs version ever made), cant stand source but hey I am an old schooler so what do you except right? The controls are, well all over the place...I mean almost everything does two different things. Like if you press R2 the weapon menu comes up but if you tap it changes weapons, this can get annoying if you can get use to console shooters *ahem*.
The graphics are gorgeous for the time of its release, and I was on a SDTV. Although there were some odd glitches and bugs, just like in any other game, it was basically flawless in this department.
The audio was done quiet well, although there also some weird moments of high pitched screeching by some of the enemies that made my ears bleed. This department was also done well.
Now for the online, the thing that really pissed me off about this game. Like I mentioned before, I am a big fps gamer but I can honestly back up what I said so many years ago that fps games should stay on the PC because the formula works perfectly and it plays for a nice smooth transition for online and offline gaming. This game however made me wanna throw my controller out my window so many times...Too many moments of "Wtf how the hell did he not die? I unload 2 clips and he wastes half his and I die?" Same gun btw. Maybe its my aiming. This is definetly by prefrence because probably most of you will do much better online than I did for sure.
Overall, awesome single player. Cool array of weapons and explosives. I also forget to mention this but I loved the transition of the alien weapons and the humans weapons, they weren't over powered like most alien weapons are and they felt just right you know. Each weapon was a different type of class I geuss you could say. Resistance 2 is coming out in a couple of months, this game is 29.99 right now. Why are you still reading this? Have you gotten the game yet or not?
