Short but impressive. Lets hold out for a Brothers in Arms 2.
Graphics: 9/10
This game is gorgous. While its not quite as techincally stunning as Metorid Prime Hunters it can pull off amazing amounts of activity with a just a suprisingly small dip in framerate. Character animations are very well done as well. Particle effects were very well done which also kinda suprised me
Gameplay: 8/10
The gameplay is very fun, engaging and fairly fast-paced. I wanted to keep playing non stop. It was fairly repetitive with the continual stop and pop gameplay, but that addition made it more enjoyable that the run and gun aspects of Hunters. Finding and using cover is extremley intuitive and fun, and the addition of heads up notices for headshots and "nice shot!' made every skilled attack an accomlishment.
Controls: 9/10
I have to admit, that the aiming is as easy if not easier that Hunters, a very good thing. What makes the controls BETTER than hunters is the fact that the whole time I was playing, with a stylus mind you, my hand never cramped up. The control layout and design worked nearly flawless (i had some problems with wall cover, but I know it was just me and not the games fault).
I have two main beefs with this game. 1. No Wi-fi, although forgivable, would have really kicked ass. It also would have made my next problem a little easier to swallow....
2. Way too short. Although the main game is action packed, I kinda expected a somewhat longer campaign.
