It's missing something that makes other shooter feel just great

The fact that this game is basically a sequel to the notorious Chrome shouldn't be considered a letdown. The characters are the same and even the story hasn't changed but that's what was such a great thing about the original game. You still are a galactic mercenary trying to make a living out of interstellar companies that hire you for dangerous missions on exotic planets. Even though the premise is pretty good there are many things about this game that just don't feel quite right. Compareing it to other games on the ever expanding shooter market you'll see what I mean. All the action in this one seems dull even though you get to do things that in some sci fi shooters you just dont really get to see, picking up weapons and driving vehicles to name a few. Even if you will find a great variety of weapons (both picked up from dead soldiers and from your personal stockpile) they all sound drastically underpower takeing away all that realism that is just a must in first person shooters. But the maps are quite big (it can take a while to move around), giving you complete freedom in how to approach a certain location. You'll also have a set of different inplants in your body that will be available after a few missions that will grant you speed, accuracy and sight. But these will overheat eventually if used for too long and you will have to switch them off when they are not necessary. Other than that, this is just a sufficient but not good future based shooter. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is looking for a solid sci fi FPS. It simply lacks the basics of gameplay, sound, effects, and overall just the realism.
