5.0 out of 5 stars I miss Dark Angel, January 3, 2003

Just to start off-I loved the series and that is what made me buy this game. It has a tendency to be a bit on the easy side...then again, I haven't finished it yet. (I just bought it two days ago). The fighting is awesome and it is just a fun game to get involved with. Sure it's point a to point b and could have gotten more intricate, but it still has an amazing entertainment value. I think if you are a fan of tomb raider and games like tomb raider you will like this one too...I do!!

To cut right to the chase, how much you like this game will depend on how much you liked the show. If you're expecting it to be a continuation of the plot, you'll be disappointed too. The plot in this game makes no sense in context of the show - It's supposed to take place after the fall of Manticore, but there's no period in the show where it could have happened. Anyway, all that aside, the game itself really could have been great, but it seems to have suffered from a rushed schedule. There's a lot of fun to be had here, the fighting engine is suprisingly deep, and there's a lot of options with stealth. The missions themselves aren't very imaginative though, and neither are the level designs. It's your basic point-a-to-point-b design. As you get later in the game, stealth is required of you and being seen at all is game over. On the down side, it suffers from a funky camera system, and somewhat muddy graphics. The control can be funky at times as well, and the bosses are a snore.

There's a good number of extras though, a photo gallery of (mostly) Jessica Alba, interviews with various cast members, and a 'coming soon' promo video for the DVD Release of Season One in North America.

This is such a great game! There are objectives and many different opponents. You don't just punch and kick, you can fly off walls and throw enemies into barrels. There are many other moves, too! This game is one of the best games ever made! This is the last memory of Dark Angel. I will never forget James Cameron's Dark Angel series!
