If you´re searching a short,but fun FPS,you won´t do anything wrong with this!
+Good Level-Design
+Motivating Medal-System
+Link-Mode
+Good Presentation
The Bad:
-No Bots in Multiplayer-Mode
-Could be more Enemy-types
First off,this is the first Game from Rocksteady and I couldn´t shake the feeling that it remembers me a bit of the first Headhunter,who was also the first Game of it´s developer back then.The whole news stuff and things like that...strange but let´s get to the point.
The Graphics are not a Burner (beware,bad Insider joke for those who already played it) but ok.They fit to the whole game and atmosphere,the slowdowns from time to time doesn´t really affect the gameplay,so no big Minus-Points here.
The Textures could look a bit better.
The Pesentation is something some older developers couldn´t have done better.Not a Far Cry Instincts,but damn well made.
The Sound is well made too.The Sound-Effects are ok,the Music is great,the 5.1 Mix is also ok,so no Minus here too.
The Level-Design is great.You got Bonus Objectives (Could be a bit more different),you have to rescue people and bring them to the Ambulance and stuff like that.From time to time you get Bonus-Missions for that you get new Weapons or Upgrades.Could be a bit more,but through the Medal-System (you get them through the Bonus Objectives and get Upgrades too) it has a good long time motivation.
While in the first Levels the difficulty is pretty low and the Bonus-Objectives are very easy to get,the Last levels arereally hard.IMO a good thing so if you buyed it for Full-Price you can be sure that you play it again from time to time.
So...:
This is a really nice FPS without any major mistakes.Everyone who likes this Genre should definetly take a look.I personally had much fun with it.
For those who are looking for more violence in FPS it´s a must-have.Why?Because this is the only FPS I remember I shot a whole head off with one Bullet...with an Assault Rifle...;-)
P.S .for PAL-Gamers:
Yessss,the PAL-Version is Uncut!The (German) Voices are ok...or at least better then expected...;-)
