This game is clearly a superior shooter, I am not here to repeat what dozens of others have already stated. What is so impressive about this game is that it ultimately boils down to one long inside joke. One of the senior developers must have been a philosophy major in college and clearly has a very deep seated hatred of Ayn Rand (as would all thinking people). Anyway this game could easily be about some alien invasion or rip into an alternate reality or chaos on a deep space explorer, and still be a great game. However, setting it an art deco Ayn Rand Utopia under the sea, gone to hell due to a combination of Rand's philosophy taken to extremes, coupled with unchecked genetic engineering, is truly a work of genius. This is really what gaming needs to be more about. Doing things that are not only crazier then anything Hollywood or TV would do, that's easy. But giving us story lines and environments that push the limits of Sci Fi and Fantasy literature, along with graphics and the first person interactive experience.
