First, this is just an average FPS. The only difference is the "nectar", everything else is pretty much what you'd expect from a corridor-based shooter (you roll on "rails" with little to no freedom as to what you do and how you do it).

Graphically, the game looks last generation, with low resolution close to regular XBOX (1024x576 on a wide screen TV, whereas XBOX has had 640x480 on regular 4:3 TV). The developers claim that they prefer the framerate over the prettiness of the picture, but come on! You've all seen what PS3 can do - you've all seen Uncharted, haven't you? Uncharted runs at great framerates, at full 720p resolution, and it looks gorgeous! So we all know PS3 is a very capable platform - how in the world, then, do you make a game, that can only squeeze decent framerates out of it, running at such a low resolution???

Personally I would recommend you either rent this game, or wait until you can buy a used one. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for this title.
