Pariah is another FPS in a long line of shooters that are trying to distinguish themselves from the likes of Farcry or HL2. Unfortunately despite some minor innovations Pariah is ultimately another generic shooter that fails excite. The Good: -While the graphics are not the best, they are decent and hold up very well on a mid-level graphics card like the Radeon 9800pro. I was able to play @ 1600x1200 at full detail. - nearly all weapon secondary fire option and nearly all of them can be upgraded. - Good presentation - "ok" story The Bad: - Standard weapons, nothing to get excited about - Story doesn't excite and at times leaves you wondering "what is going on" -- the narrative could have been better and so could the detail of the narratives. - Bland, standard level design. - Vehicle control is awkward with keyboard and mouse. The Ugly - Its all “been there, done that” - This game fails to excite CONCLUSION: At the end of the day Pariah is ordinary FPS that is quickly forgotten. There are better FPS games out there: [1] farcry [2] Chronicles of Riddick [3] Call of Duty with Expansions [4] Medal of Honor with expansions [4] Brothers in Arms .... This game is a rental, plain and simple. I wouldn't spend any more than $5 to $10 if buying from ebay.
