Is it over yet??
Graphics- It was as if they had an entire team of designers and 1 guy who was amazing, and the rest who had no clue. Most of the game was almost PS2 quality and I would have actually been embarassed to put my name on the game and claim that I designed the models. Other times...wow, unbelieveable...the guy in the store where you can buy upgrades...very nicely done. Bits and pieces here and there but otherwise, average at best graphics. The game maxed out on everything and running at 1920X1080 was smooth and crashes only 4-5 times. Because the game has check points, that tended to hurt at times.
Gameplay - If you like sitting in a room and shooting at wave, after wave, after wave, of the same characters again and again...then leave now and go but this game. Action is great, but this game is over the top in what it throws at you. I thought many a time "are you kidding me??". I dont say this often, but at times I just thought "GD is this game stupid." Then I would get an occasional moment of "cool!" but they were very few and far between.
Characters - Voice acting was pretty good...but I stil cant get used to the villian who is 6ft 7" 500lbs and looks like a cartoon character...You have a real life movie star in the game fighting a "boss" who looks like a video game cliche. The storyline was decent, but only barely. Special Kudos - The physics in this game...fan-fricken-tastic! The use of the environment was incredible and drove this game up a whole point in scoring just because it was so darn cool to watch stuff break. The fact that you could hide behind a cement column and when you were getting shot the pillar would actually break apart and start to expose you...now that was cool.
Special Criticism - Ok, and the fact that I gather points so that I can purchase a fake picture in a fake museum does what for me??? Dear god was that stupid. The fact that I cant get more ammo when I have 76 bullets left and have to shoot my gun to 75 so that I can pick up ammo....stupid. The super slow mo gun fights...it was semi-realistic when you took on 2-3 guys and could kill them all at once, but a wave of 17 guys in slow-mo that in real life I was supposed to be so fast that I could take out 17 guys at once before they killed me, and do that without reloading?? Bad Stupid. I dont normally Criticize a game this much, but there was so much filler cr*p that I feel like I have earned the right to speak my mind for the $ I spent to sit through it.
Overall - This was the first game in ages that I actually at one point quit playing... Most games that are bad I will force myself to finish because I paid for it and maybe, just maybe, the game will get better. This game never did, and although I did finish it, I was actually excited because I could uninstall it and move on. Its your typical game launched with a fancy name and cool actor surrounded by lame gameplay, and very limited gameplay at that. For the entire 8 hours I played this game I was less than enthused.
