Could have been good...
Actually, the russians had some pretty good ideas when it came to designing maps, although the solutions where to hard sometimes; even a experienced gamer would have ripped his hair out after trying to jump from one pipe onto another over a 100 times before realizing that: "Hell, it ain't working..."
After being frustrated at being stuck in all the maps all the time you'd start to hate those uneffective NPCs that where supposed to be your enemies, and the voicecasting was totally terrible... Imagine Arnold with a russian accent going: "Stooop; aj mast shoot jou befar jou ran too far, ja...." - that would be close to the actual voicecasting of the game...
I never got to play the whole game through because of some bugs and the huge maps, but I guess the reward of finishing the game could have been nice; and I never got to understand why this Marin with a bad hair-cut got lost out there in space anyway... Well... I hope the boys and gals of Russ - o - Bit have done a better job with "Über Soldier..." - their newest game...
