Run from point 'A' to point 'B' and loot 'n' shoot as much as you can... and do it all over again.

After 'Dead Space', 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R.', 'Fallout 3' and even the likes of 'F.E.A.R.' and other 'Crysis', this is just another trip from here to somewhere else, with lots of nasties lurking along the way to make game-life difficult.

We had a spaceship, a nuclear plant, a hydro-powerplant, some laboratories, both in a city and/or a mountain and now we have a 'vault' to get to...

And if the premise wasn't tedious enough, everything is presented in a fat-drawn, comic-book style graphic, marinated in a kind of humour that makes you want to burst out in a frenzy of joke-telling, just to show the guys how it's really done.

This game should have been called "Almost Dead Spaced-out S.T.A.L.K.E.R. running through Fallout full of F.E.A.R. for a Crysis". Granted, it's less snappy than 'Borderlands', but at least it would have hinted where the makers got the mustard.

Not a bad game, but been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
