Shadow Ops: Red Mercury

Hollywood script, action and sound effects, just like a movie!

This ain't a very balanced FPS and it's ridiculously difficult at times, but it still packs a punch based on its intense gunfights and tremendous THX certified sound. Play it through your home system speakers and feel the power of real-world reverberant sound effects... Man, that feels good.

I quite like the level designs as they cover from urban warfare, jungle, moving trains and even the Tower of Paris. The weapons are quite diverse as well, featuring some 10 over modern guns that look sleek and cool, and especially the sound effects go well with their appearance too. Music soundtracks are recorded with high quality orchestrations, including choir arrangements.

As much as it's engaging, it's over before you know it, and sadly, quite forgettable as well, and the audio aspect is the only reason I may want to replay it. Oh, the package contains quite an amount of nicely done making-of footages that raises its value just a bit.
