So much better then expected! Fast and Fun with a play style that can fit any gamer.
It's fast and it's frantic. The choices of race, weapons, magic, and tech allow you to fit any play style and some styles you'd never think of. Ever play a dwarf swat member with a katana and a huge demon in tow. Well now you can. The action can be coordinated with your team and that makes it all the more fun when you can rely on your teamates for cover or healing. The game really only consists of multiplayer, but thats all you need. They try to put a little story in the training sessions but its ignorable. The game is perfectly balenced among races, while an orc needs several people on him to get him down, he's slow and easy to swarm. That balence moves to all races and there are few rooms useing the same race. (Unless its a dwarfs with swords match.) The in game menu, while you can switch magic and tech it is not really on the fly. You'll have to find a quite spot for a second to switch out your gear. Its not a huge gripe but it does come up sometimes.
Graphics:
Along with the whole game, surprisingly good. The character models are great and the animations are pretty fluid, minus the climbing animation which doesn't feature moving legs (Oh well). The Tree of Life magic is very pretty and fanitful like and the animation for teleporting through walls is very nice. Sound:
The bullets fly and magic...poofs? The sound is nothing spectacular but it does the trick. The best sound in the game is your team mates lauphing over how stupid a dwarf with a chaingun looks.
Value:
For $60 and the price of an X-Box live Gold Membership you get a long while of great multiplayer you will keep going back to. Perhaps some single missions would be good but its still worth it.
Overall its a great game and console shooter fans should flock to it. Its fast and solid and the controls are pretty tight. I'll be playing the game for a while and enjoying it all the way.
