For you casual gamers out there, this is a great game to try out.
The story includes an ACME tranee named Cole going after carmen after bad intel leads two other agents to the wrong place. Cole figures out what happened and is hot on carmen's trail, to the chief's dismay, because he is going against direct orders not to pursue carmen. Yet, he presses on around the world after her......
The gameplay is really cool. It's simple, yet it's challenging enough to keep you interested throughout the game. You explore different areas to advance to the next place. Along the way, you collect various pick-ups, such as amulets(getting 100 upgrades your bo staff power), clues(getting all five progresses the story), puzzle pieces(activates a puzzle to advance the level), etc. While you explore, you will encounter many robots. These are like guards that patrol and eliminate intruders. It's up to you to use stealth to sneak up on them and hit them in the back to beat them. While this sounds too simple, they are often found in groups, forcing you to use your head to figure out a way to destroy them all. It's necessary to take out the robots, because at the end of each level area, there is a force field that requires a three or five digit code obtained by defeating the robots.
You have a variety of controls to use, such as attacking with your bo staff, double jumping, pole vaulting, using a blow dart, etc. Stealth is emphasized in some places, which makes more fun to figure out how to take on a situation.
There are many environments you explore, such as India, Thailand, USA, England, and others. The graphics aren't the best, but they're good enough to keep the game intact and fun. Music can be catchy at times and the story clips are told in comic book form which looks good in the game.
Overall, this is a great game that anyone could enjoy, but might turn some people away due to simplicity. It all depends on how you enjoy it. I recommend it to most people. Enjoy!
