Firstly, to rebut the "Deeply Flawed" review, the game is not buggy on Xbox. The problems c_thulhu is describing are related to either his game disc itself, or more likely the Xbox itself (or both). I had similar problems with my first Xbox and game, but exchanged the Xbox and the problems vanished.

The gamer from Detroit sounds like a younger player. This is a mature game for mature players. No game is Halo except Halo. Mace Griffin is a difficult game better suited to experienced player. There are no adjustable difficulty settings. The robot things will go down, but it takes a whole machine gun clip. allthingsdork has a much more accurate take on the game.

One of the challenges of this game is that you can't "run and gun". You need to pick your targets and shoot from cover as much as possible as you are always outnumbered. Advancing is difficult in places because you often have to create your path by exploding something to create bridges or ramps, do a lot of pinpoint jumping, crawl through vents, etc. It frequently is not obvious as to how to get from point A to point B. You have to take time to analyze your environment. The save points are infrequent and far apart. There is a nice variety of weapons to use. The sniper rifle is probably the best I've used in any game. If you want crazy fun in a shooter, play Serious Sam. If you want a real challenge, play Mace Griffin.

...what more could you ask for in a first person shooter? First I'd like to say...I absolutely love this game. It is fun and intense. Talk about getting drawn in to a video game, Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter is addictive! It has long and interesting levels that, at times, seem to never end. You can save if you want to take a break, but only at the last check point(I just pause the game, turn my TV off and leave the XBOX on). The A.I. is better than any other FPS I've ever played. A.I. actually hides from you and it even seems to stratigize to circle around you at times. It's neat to watch. But don't get too watchful, because you'll get ambushed from behind or at your sides.
The outerspace/in-ship levels are absolutely amazing as well. The enemies are a little hard to hit when trying to control the ship, but that makes it challenging and extends the longevity and value of the game in my opinion.
There is NO slow-down when looking around like some FPS's and the texturizing is very good, not as good as say 'TimeSplitters2' for the XBOX, but enough to make it look smooth and beautiful.
Overall this game is a must for any First Person Shooter fan.

I bought this game on the recomendation of someone else I like the game because it is not a slow paced game which gets boring my only regret is that I bought it from alphabookstore in WI.

I never even heard of this game until recently and I was pleasantly surprised. While it is no halo it is definitely fun and LOOOOONG. I love first person shooters and this did not let me down.

I played the demo on this game and it was totally awsome! You start in your space ship, shoot a couple bad guys..and when ever you want you can get out of the cockpit and walk around the ship...its sweet...anyways then you fly to this big ship and fly inside of it land, get out, then start snipin dudes on a balcony..(all with no loading screens!) i strongly suggest you at least rent it...i will definetly buy it...

Sorry, this is a disappointment. Went out to buy it first thing. No Halo. Part of the problem is just feels to realistic. You keep shooting these robot like things and they don't fall down. Also, the concept is sort of stupid. The robots have weird faces, etc. It was just very disappointing.

This game had great potential, the graphics and sound are awesome. That's really the only positive thing I can say about it. The game seems to be buggy on Xbox. Every once in a while, when you complete an objective, "Objective Completed" flashes acoss the screen. The next objective may not be triggered. Now you've got nothing to do but restart it and hope it lets you move on next time. It will let you eventually if you don't mind repeating the levels over and over. After getting sick of this, I got disgusted and handed it over to my brother to try on his Xbox. The results were the same. Don't waste your money!

This is a fun game there is not much bad I can say about it has a good story not great but good. Controls could be better and there a few bugs here and there but it's a solid game and fun can't forget that FUN that's all I've got. Almost forgot Henrey Rolins play's mace not sure how he got the job but he does a good job to OK that's all I've got. I think?

I havent played this game as yet, I put it away for a present, but the delivery was speedy and the package was in great shape
