I will make it brief as possible.....when you are playing shoot em ups/action/adventure games like this, you rarely have the time to recall how your health status, mission objective, progress etc is going...so how in the world are you going to cope with a team who need babysitting every now and then??? When one gets frightened, you have to give him some ammo or make him stay at a ceratin place, before he wets himself....if you shoot someone accidently, he gets hell bent on shooting your head off....if one doubts you are infected (even though you never are throughout the game) he refuse to budge, and stands/sits there like a sour toffee apple....

I also got very annoyed on the throd mission ( the reason that I eventuially got rid of this game) you had to get top the kennels to find a blood testing kit....well, I did get to the kennels (as illustrated by the online walkthroughs!!!) but what did I find??? Nothing of interest...

Another annoynace is that there is a blue health meter that must be kept as full as possible...if it is lowered, i.e. your body temperature is down, you will die instantly...so what will you concentrate on...a bunch of babies you have to cater for, the mencaing aleins (ahem, were they meant to be scary??) or the fact that you start to feel like an ice lolly (or for that matter, feel nothing at all, due to the numbness....or the rat ta tat tat from your 'fellow' team mate!) It is such a bloody shame that the graphics are so good (though not as smooth and eye catching like Soul Reaver, Blood Omen, Extermination and Clock Tower 3)...I thought for a while I could put up with the idiots who were tagging alongside me, but some of the excrutiating and tiring objectives really wound me up....its a good thing Extermination was round the corner to save the day!!!!!
