Not as bad as some "pro" reviewers say. Just remember "You Are Empty"..ugh!

Nice concept. Decent execution, mediocre physics and graphics but fun to play..and not hard to control (not like RE5..Yikes!) I'd say this could have a great sequel with higher production quality. The time travel concept rocks!

I haven't made it to the "good" sequences yet (according to the GS reviewer) but am looking forward to it.
I liked the timed reload gadget..reminded me of Gears of War. Better than just pressing "R"!

Voice talent seems decent. "Mother's" eyes are just dumb..so is her voice acting. Agree that the AI is poor. I've walked up to an enemy, and was fooled into thinking that he was a friendly..only because he ignored me until I was in his face. I'm wondering if increasing the difficulty will help with this.

No ad hoc saving is crap but we seem to be getting more and more of the checkpoint designed save method these days..All in all, I'd buy this again but might wait until the 19.95 price point!

    The reviewer here has played Crysis too much... This game isn't as bad as he pictures it.

    If you can overlook the bad lip-sync, average AI and somewhat corridor style missions, this game grows on you and the story keeps it interesting. I'm a fan of time travel, so this review may be a bit biased, bear this... Read Full Review
