Really, it isn't all that bad!

Indeed It does pale in comparison to NOLF 1 and 2 - I totally agree. These games were incredibly well crafted and engaging, and this one isn't anything close.

That isn't to say that this was not enjoyable. The level designs were good, the locales were very enjoyable, and the plot was interesting. The ending really is unique too.

What I found in Contract J.A.C.K. was an entertaining title with some humor, good level designs, and a ton of battles and gore. Everything worked well and was enjoyable It's pretty much a straightforward shooter.

I'd recommend it over a lot of shovelware type games that are left wanting in most areas...
