it's the type of game to hold you over till something else comes around. it's buggy, repetitive, stiff, but alot of fun

this game is far from great, but there is just something about it i loved. the substitution of guns over swords and bows was nice. i was a bit nervous about it at first but it grew on me quickly. the graphics are second rate but there's a healthy amount of gore and lots to blow up.

it has very repetitive missions lacking any drive but the chance to test out your new guns makes it fun for a while.

the gamelpay is a regular hack-n-slash. walk over here, click on ememy to kill, avoid traps, pick up loot, repete. the only problem with this is the bugginess. the system is not all that stable. you run into jerky cameras and image glitches regularly. so if you only want a well refined game, keep browsing.

i loved the diffeneces in the characters and the fact that you could always redue your characters skills at any point in the game. it was great for trying out how you want to play and finding the right fit. i loaded up on automatic weapons after giving shotguns and flame throwers a try. one thing the game did very well was sound effects. i have a sub-woofer on my system and it was fun just of fire off rounds and blow up barrels.

there is alot of customization to be done on your character so you can spend hours fine-tuning, an action-rpg trait i always enjoy.

if your not too picky about you games, this is a nice one to play while you wait for something better to come out.
