neat premise. frustrating execution

by "Hard", i mean frustrating. this coulda, shoulda been neat. and at times it was. but it does a whole lot of FPS things worse than all the classics of the genre. gunplay, movement, hit accuracy - all poor in this game. i actually lost patience and packed it in in what i think may have been the final scene - the airship escape. hiding amongst the girders of the bridge, invisible enemies picked me off as i struggled to find weapons with ammo. any weapon! i would have taken a chinese throwing star at that point. a couple highlights though, like dunking a Nazi head first in a toilet and getting a "Swirly" achievement. badly scripted, but amusing nonetheless.
Good:
- the premise
- the graphics - at times
- the atmosphere
Bad:
- movement
- shooting wepaons
- lack of ammo and accuracy
- lack of dialogue to help along the storyline
Summary:
a few more months working out the bugs in development would have made a real difference.
