Once again, I find myself in complete disagreement with an official Gamespot review. Why this game would be given such a pedestrian score by Gamespot is beyond me and shows how gamers are becoming more and more ridiculously fickle. In my opinion, while this game may NOT be breaking any new ground in the FPS market it scores high marks on all the things it does do well; simply in being entertaining, well voice acted, gorgeous to look at and, quite frankly, fun. Now while I feel the game seems artificially frustrating at times (I swear the designers were a bit sadistic in their attempts to find as many ways to cause one to die in only 10 minutes of play as they possibly could) the game excels on so many levels that you can’t help but play through the frustration. It’s becoming more and more apparent to me that Gamespot’s (and other review sites’) critiquing has become much too jaded. This is what happens when you eventually develop critics who view and play games through the critical eyes of professional game reviewers looking for what’s wrong, rather than through the eyes of gamers looking for what’s right.
