Looks good, but plays awful.

User Rating: 6.5 | Section 8 PC
By Jerrymedic | Review Date:
First of all, the aesthetic of the game is pretty good, I'll give credit to the concept artist behind the weapon and power armor design, they look really futuristic and aesthetically pleasing; however the game play it self is disastrous, I haven't seen such terrible level design and faulty game mechanics for ages, I played the single campaign for like 4 hours and I had to stop playing before it damaged my brain, and the multilayer is a little better, but with not a lot of variates, unlike Tribes 2 which has so many interesting weapons / vehicles and maps, section 8 is just a poorly designed Tribes /Halo / Battlefield wannabe and failed on all three accounts.

Anyway, if you like some cool looking twitch sci-fi shooter, this might be a good buy for you, otherwise just don't waste your money.
