A fairly good multi-player but with so many full games on the market just not quite on the mark. Still worth a play.

Let's start with the basics here. This game is cheap(ish) but that doesn't really show. Playing the game for the first time was as easy as pie, anyone with any experience of multi-player shooters can easily ace their very first game.

There are no complicated "features" in this game, it's pretty much like every other shooter out there. Game modes are all fairly similar to those found in MW2, the graphics are good but not spectacular.

So... why bother? Well it's a nice game, it's well made and runs smoothly and at least until Red Dead Redemption is released it's a welcome change in scenery to the shooter genre. Classes are a simple choice of 4 types of characters each with their own special abilities, one of my favourites being "Trapper" with whom you can lay a bear trap for an unsuspecting opponent to get caught in while you gain a vantage point to snipe them once caught.

Games can vary depending on your team mates and opponents. I have found that despite being team based a lot of players would rather run around on their own, making it difficult in some matches such as the "Capture The Flag" style Greed match, in which your team steals gold from the enemy and returns it to your base.

All in all however this is a good online game and with a few of your own friends gathered is really really fun. It's only real let down is the amount of competition out there.
