From the small bit I’ve played of it, it doesn’t bother me, so when it does pop up on the bargain bin, I’ll nab it for a play-through, along with several other games many have given a bad time, such as Turok . .I didn’t mind that either.

Different strokes for different folks as they say.

I find it interesting that everyone seems to hate tis game… I actually enjoyed it, I didn’t have any trouble with any glitches, except for the game wouldn’t give me the achievement for completing episode 2, but I got it later… I thought that it had a very interesting story line and while I’ll admit the driving was not great, I don;t think it was quite as terrible as you have stated. It appears you have a hard time with even small problems and make them a bit larger than they are… The boss fights were a bit repetitive and not all that challenging, but I had fun fighting the things… I never once felt I had any need to make my squad do more than the game let me, they seemed to follow me well and shoot at what I told them to shoot at, so I didn’t have any problem with it…
I’m disappointed that you only gave it a 6, I think the game deserves at least a seven… Certainly not an amazing game but one that deserves a little more credit than you have given them.

This Game was such a drag. I really expected to find some interesting battles but unfortunately all the fights were too easy. Boss fights aren’t even worth being put into the game.

Yeah I played through most of this one myself and hated every second of it. Quite the painful experience really. I also couldnt find a multiplayer match, which was unfortunate as it may have been slightly interesting.

Thanks for the review Shadow, I was seriously looking at this game, last year, and while the first Demo on XboxLive showed some promise, the second let it down badly, and certainly had me thinking twice about it

This will be one of those games that I get out of the bargain-bin, along with several other recent titles that belong in that bin . . . such as Kane & Lynch etc . . . shame really, as both showed promise.

Personally I prefer if a developer holds off on the release of a game, but then, it’s not always their call as to whether or not it can be delayed. That’s the role of the Publisher, and if they want it on the shelf, then that’s what happens. Often at the cost of the game . . .

Well the second demo wasn’t very promising, but you seem to have highlighted its problems really well. This game may have had more of a go if it had been released during the usual dead season of Feb-Aug, but coming during a time when there is Halo 3, COD4, Half Life 2, etc. it is suicide. Far better to have delayed, got the game right, and then release….Great to see your work here!
