i've tried to be brutally honest about this game. it's great and awful all at once. but my experience with it has been mostly positive, and i find myself ill suited to regret over the download. it's well worth the few dollars you spend, and since they have added the 'arena mode' it's replayability has shot through the roof. here's the good things i'd like to mention: it's graphically stunning. it's filled with nostalgia (for those of us who made the mistake of playing the original when it game out), there's a great stat system, tons of replayability, the automatic challenge leveling actually works very well. the bad things: the controls aren't exactly the best, there's not a lot of new and interesting things about this fps, it's fairly short to begin with, the story itself isn't very in depth, and the weapons are not very believable. basically, this game has exactly what you'd want from a basic first person shooter. the weaponry ranges from mini to maxi. you get a kind of sick pleasure from trying to push your stats and watching your headshot count rise. there's not a lot of extra hidden material, but there's enough to make it worth your time to search it out. the new arena mode has made it a ton of fun, because you can spend a few minutes shooting baddies, and then replay the whole thing and see where you made mistakes, then you can go back in and try to beat your last score.
all in all, the game is not meant as a blockbuster to win a 'of the year' title, it's just an interesting and colorful game with enough to do to keeop you entertain for many hours. it's worth picking up if you have the chance. remember, this was a 'first in a series', i'm betting they'll take back enough feedback to make the second title even more impressive.

This game, I found did what it wanted to do really well, what that is you ask? It is being an action packed B-grade story shooter. Lots of people complain about how it is has a "lack-luster" story but really they just wa... Read Full Review
