Great looking game with horrible AI , and boring game play
Now I'm a FPS lover, and I'll enjoy even the most mediocre of FPS's if they satisfy my fix. Having said that, and after playing this game for a little while..I do not recommend this game to anyone.
Lets start off with the positives of the game first. The game is good looking, I really like the graphics, they're not Gears of War good looking, or Call of Duty 4 good looking, but they are good looking. You can select which weapons you want to take on any mission, and customize them as well......I liked that. Enemies are easy to hit and kill. Lot's of blood!!!! It's cool watching a guy stagger around after shooting off his arm, and then watch him fall to the ground due to blood loss.
Now lets list the bad. The game has horrible AI!!!!! I mean really bad, guys just to to like running around, with no sense of direction.. I'd watch guys run right by me, wondering where they were going, then I'd just shoot them in the back.......because I could. These guys are real dumb!! Then they'll crouch behind objects and not even shoot back. Some of the worst, mindless AI i've ever seen.
Although you can select weapons for each mission, you have no idea what that mission is going to be, so you can't prepare. Also you find no ammo to replenish your weapons with. The enemy seemed to only use Ak-47's and M-16. So I just kept taking custom Ak-47's, so I'd atleast have a cool custom AK to replenish ammo for. Every other weapon I had to keep dumping as soon as it ran dry. The sniper rifle almost feels pointless, because the hit detection feels so exagerated that if feels almost impossible to miss with any weapon, no matter the distance. And even though you can custom your gun with silencers.....they are useless!!!!! The enemy in the game spawn at key points when you've reach their locations. So they are not some guys lumbering around on patrol, they just appear when you reached a certain area, so there is no sneaking involved.....They just appear and know you're there.
Another problem is the exagerated damage you weapon does. It feels so easy to kill everyone. With the hit detection you could probably play the whole game just shooting from the hip. I was running around killing guys with out even trying to aim, after a while I didn't even bother to take cover anymore, because the AI was so bad. Guys just seemed to line up in rows waiting to be slaughtered..
I'm sure there are people who will play through this game...just because. I've seen some rediculous player rating on here....I've yet to play a game that deserved a 10. ....this one isn't even close, and doesn't belong in the same realms as Cod, The Darkness, Black, Bioshock, Perfect Dark Zero...or other great innovative shooters.
