I expected a weapons heavy no frills smooth controlling FPS and for the most part that is exactly what this is.

The story is you work for a privately funded militia that sends out lone soldiers to settle battles with small time warlords. The story does expand into the scifi realm but only so far.

The single player campaign clips along as you run headlong solo into all sorts of intense firefights. Switching weapons, reloading, intel pick ups and movement all come very naturally and this is an addictive experience as the levels have tons of routes through them and you will want to best your grade by repeating them in BODYCOUNT mode.

The co-op and multiplayer should play well for those who want to share the mayhem I haven't been able to try them yet however. The game also froze up once during the single player missions, but only once after many hours of play.

For the PS3 there is a tiny install, and the top resolution is 720p, I played the demo on 360 and it looked better but seems to play smoother on the PS3, probably just finished product vs. demo. Lots of fun for the type of player who doesn't want a team slowing you down, and the intel collecting and powerup usage really adds to the level of destruction you can wreck on the environment and enemies, just plain old trigger happy fun with a bunch of detailed and different weapon options. Star off for the forced strafing on zoom mode and the one freeze up.

From out of nowhere comes this FPS.

This is a arcade style shooter.With little storyline and thankfully no cheesy one-liners and cussing.

Graphics:Are well rendered buildings look different and frame rates move nicely along.Enemies all look the same and not much gore.Weapons are well rendered and do various degrees of damage depending on type.Damage and explosions are rendered well.

Sound:Is good with each weapon having it's own sound and explosions are well done.

Gameplay:Very similar to Black with all the "Gun porn".Black had a better story but I only have 4 hrs into the game.

No aiming down the sights you zoom in like in Black.The cover system/lean takes getting used to.But there is no learning curve to this game.Pick your weapons and if it moves kill it.

The shredding system is the best part of the game.You can just about destroy everything in this game.So one should not linger in the same spot for long.

As you kill enemies icons called intel will drop and move to you as you walk by to give you power-ups.which can be a air strike or other things you can unlock.There is really no tactics or realism in this game so that will be a turn off for some.To be blunt,this is a old fashioned shooter.

Dislikes:None so far, will update.

Overall:Fun arcade style shooter that should appeal to casual gamers.Can be repetitive but I enjoy turning my brain off for a while to just blast everything that moves on the map.The guy who thought up Black helped to make this game.This game won't get attention from the main stream game mags.As they have MW/BF fever and are slaves to advertisers.

If you are on the fence, I recommend renting first to see if you like it.Not a bad game and I'm having fun which takes priority for me over graphics etc.

I have poor service in my AO so unable to review online aspects of this game.

Update 9-2-11

Have 6 hours into this game on hard.It is challenging and bosses will give you a run for your money.

I recommend playing on normal or higher so one does not breeze right through.I find the fire fights intense and similar to Black.

Enemy AI can be very dumb sometimes and other times they will try to flank and sneak up on you.

Very refreshing old-school shooter.I really enjoy trashing the map with explosions.Each weapon has it's own unique sound.I played this through my stereo and was shaking the house lol!

This is a fantastic game!! I know it was not well received by the critics, but who listens to critics? I do not!! They give high ratings to junk and hate other shooters that they say cannot compare to Call of Duty or Battlefield!!! Those franchises have been around awhile and have established themselves. So come on!! There is so much to love about this game. The guns, explosions and the destructible environments!! If anyone does not love this game, they need to get their head examined!! I love MW and Battlefield, but love this game equally!!

I was pretty excited about this game when I 1st heard about it and waited anxiously for the price drop, I knew this wasnt a $60.00 game but it still peeked my interest. Its a $20.00 game at best, its def a no-brainer old school shoot'em up game. Graphics are decent, slightly better then PS2, controlls are okay not difficult to pick up, some cool boss fights, its just a cheesy FPS where you go all out and shoot everything that moves. No real strategy or basic brain funcion to play this one, but it does have its upside with the carnage and devastation that you are able to cause.
