A great idea...
The game has quite a nice feel to it.The game looks pretty good eventhough the textures could have been done more carefully.The sound effects are great and all the guns sound very real and make you feel sometimes as you were a part of the real action.But the game has a very cartoonish look.Everything looks like in cartoons.The guns,the characters and even the explosions.I would say that the perfect comparison to a cartoon would be with The Mask.The characters look just like in those cartoons eventhough the game has nothing to do with those animated series(as far as I know).It all depends of your first reaction to the game.If you like it you like it,if you don't then you don't.As the other great title from Valve,Portal,this game doesn't really take itself seriously at all.You will have this sensation after playing it for the first time.This game is pure fun and that's probably the most important value of a game.It has to be fun.
A downside of the game is the lag and the framerate which drops sometimes during online play.The game alsoo freezes sometimes as well.This is a big problem and untill now Valve hasn't done anything to repair this problem.
I would recommend this game to FPS fans and for those of them who just want to relax in something a little more "relaxing".I could also say that this game is a pretty good game for beginners in FPS's.This game is worth checkin out.
My Score 8.4
