My opinion of SS2
The gameplay is pretty good ... It is quite a generic First Person Shooter, and has a definate run and gun style similar to the Call of Duty games that feel quite irratic and fast paced..
To break the whole FPS style gameplay they have added several nice, short cutscenes and split second events throughout the game, as well as a wrestling mechanic that has an unarmed enemy grappling with you and depending on what buttons you press you either escape or die.
The level design seems to be ok, but it is quite easy to get lost.
The levels are quite nice to look at although the art is a little incoherent but very fitting of where it is supposed to be set. The big let down though is the seriously bad lighting.
The characters look good especially the zombie's.
Overall the graphics appear to be very blurry especially for the new HD era, and are not up to standard with other games in this genre. It could be said that because of the terriblly dull light, that it doesnt look that much better than the old xbox / playstation 2 graphics.
The sound in the game is ok, and seems to fit quite well.
The game isnt bad, but isnt really much different to what we have seen over the past years.
It does give you an easy play through though... should take about 5 hrs and has XB Achievements (150 on completion)
