Nearly perfect then.Īt first it seems too manic but after playing it for 30 mins or so you get used to the pace.Graphically it looks very nice in places and other levels just seem kinda average. Slow-mo, sniping, acrobatic hand-to-hand, fully automatic mayhem, grenades galore, cannons to commandeer, EMP action, robot walkers to master, space ships to crash land, space stations to save, fags to smoke and a gal with a great voice to meet up with at the final cut scene - what's not to like?Multiplayer? Hmm. Just when you think you've seen all the game has to offer up pops something reminiscent of the Silver Surfer, or my personal fave, The Unknown, who magnetically pulls together robot debris to make a super enemy but when worn down, reveals himself to be a little bit like the tiny evil Transformer that wanted to do the dirty to Megan Fox's leg. There's also plenty of variety to enemy types. The sliding on your knees gimmick works so well, it becomes fundamental to your gameplay and totally justifies its presence. You'll see in super slo-mo your rockets getting dodged and deflected last second just as much as you will shoot enemy rockets out of the air. Rocket launchers can do some serious damage but the collision detection is fantastic. Face off against the big boss and hear him say "aim carefully" when you pull up the scope. The old favourite, the sniper rifle if very effective with a great zoom but ammo limitations to stop things getting boring. It took me a while to realise the benefits of weapons like the disc launcher.
Certain weapons fare better on certain enemies. As you pick up ammo, fill any weapon and the next ammo collected for that weapon type rewards with a stats boost. Just when you've wiped out a couple of super sized bosses and giant robots, you get a reminder of your fraility when you take on half a dozen robot grunts - four go with head shots, a fifth is kicked acrobatically, only for the last to take you out with a well place blow to the reactor on the back of your suit. Elements of Halo, Gears, Lost Planet, Killzone and older shooters like Area 51, Project Snowblind, Red Faction, Max Payne and Mace Griffin are all mixed together with a large splash of Japanese style squeezed from old Capcom classics. Yes this game is derivative but when you take the best bits from a bunch of great games and blend them together with style, you end up with something special. I'm one of them too and have played pretty much every shooter going prior to this, starting with Space Invaders.
