I was really intrigued by the scenario of Dubai and the apocalyptic setting, and kept hearing about how the game is not good but it's worth seeing, but boy was I let down. I'm not really sure what they were trying to do with this game, tell an interactive story about the horrors of war I guess. But the gameplay was annoying, and the story was written by a 10 year old. Playing this game was really a waste of my time, something I don't say about too many games. It did look good, I'll give them that. The music was annoying too, so much so I finally turned it off. Now that it's been out a year and I bought it for only $20 I'm glad I didn't pay any more than that. In summary, I can't really recommend this and don't fall for the "you need to see the twist" because it's not worth it. (watch it on youtube if you are that interested)
