Expectations high - Reality low. A real shame.

User Rating: 6.3 | Infernal PC
I was really looking forward to Infernal; I mean REALLY looking forward to Infernal. The story seemed to have a good base, and graphically it looked superb.
And in many respects I was not disappointed.
The game played well. There were a few graphical hitches but, forgetting them, the game looked stunning. The main character had a decent back story and seemed well rounded. Overall the game play was okay.

But now for the reasons behind my low score:
PSI Ops was a much better game. There was nothing new in Infernal that PSI Ops didn’t have, and do better.
The controls were hit and miss. They would be slow when you needed to move quickly (Thank God for F5). You would find yourself stuck back against a crate when it was the last thing you would want to do. This may work for console games, but for PC, IMHO, more controllable movements are the norm.
It is far too easy. Some of the puzzles could be a challenge for an attempt or two, but it would only take a few minutes to work out the solution, even to so called “Bosses”. Where did all the time go? This game offers 4-5 hours game play. If you want a short game, then for Pete’s sake, play Max Payne 2. Nuff said.
