The story and Graphs are good, but most important everything works and its enjoyable to play.
My laptop with an ATI X600 ran this game with all settings on max, and everything looked great.
Turn the "Voices" from "All" to "Essential" setting and that takes care of there being too much chatter from your bio-chip buddies.
Weopons upgrades help keep the run-and-gun style combat more interesting. Good variety in the weopons too.
All the gameplay mechanics work well which makes this game FUN to play, diving away from grenades and from cover to cover, hugging walls and using blind fire, and peeking out for aimed fire, plus some slower paced tactical areas, AND the option to try to use a little stealth with some bonus salvage incentives, plus some ride-along turret areas. All this together with all the action going on around you and it actually feels like a chaotic battlefield.
All and all, if you are like me and "they" dont make good games fast enough for you and it seems like everythings release date it Q4 2006 or TBA 2007, this is worth buying. It might suprise you like it suprised me.
