Just not what i expected...

I was sooo looking forward to this game,so much so,i broke my internet rule of ordering off the game website (i shouldnt have cos' it turned up two days late anyway,curse you royal mail) but in hindsight,i should have ordered another game,cos' in my opinion,this game was way WAY over rated.

Graphics - They were fine,as you'd expect with a semi high profile game such as this,but other than be asthetically pleasing,thats about where it stopped...

Gameplay - Was terrible,so much auto-aim,i found myself aiming for a leg,and shooting a head...it takes no skill at all and that did my head in.As for walking the main character around the numerous levels,i swear,for such a young guy,he ambled around like an old timer,this game just has no pace...

Sound - bang bang bang?yay...it wasnt anything special,but what i did occassionaly enjoy was the random muttering of the little darklings,sometimes coming out with rather funny one liners...

Story - it was ok...and that was it,for me,the story and gameplay felt to disjointed and loose,having to go from point a to point b using the subway system felt terrible,because 9 outta 10 times,i'd end up lost...

All in all,to anyone who wanted this game,id strongly advise you not to,but different people enjoy different things,so its down to the individual...one more thing i had against this game,was the diabolical excuse for online play,LAG FEST even with a good internet connection.
