This game has influences from games like Half Life and Call of Duty with a modified questing system from the likes of Oblivion. Even though it does not compare to favorites such as Half Life it holds its own with its brand of FPS and RP elements that are not too difficult to grasp. It does have some minor bugs but I would highly recommend this title as it has some good content and offers a unique style of game play that I find a refreshing change. The questing system can be improved since I did find some instances where the NPC was killed by enemy fire and I could not turn in. The game does not catch on to the fact that the NPC is dead and does not update the quest log. Lots of weapon combination's that allow for experimentation with various weapons/ammo. The content is above average and the graphics are decent in my opinion. Most of all since its not a console port I find the game play smooth and more personal as with many past games released for the PC platform.
