I took a chance on this game when I noticed it at my local game store because it was $15 & the graphics on the box looked good. This game has a Syphon Filter feel (3rd person view) and a Metal Gear Solid look (muted colors, floating ammo/health packs). Yes, this game very much wants to be Splinter Cell (one of the characters you play looks a lot like Sam Fisher from the back) without the emphasis on stealth. At first, the controls were a bit awkward (you are constantly in 'aim' mode like SF), especially in the FPS view. What carries the game is the challenge (having to replay from the last checkpoint), the graphics (like most xbox games), and the variety (the hovercraft is cool!). This game has succeeded in getting into my head when I'm not playing it (like right now...). Definitely worth picking up a copy until the next high-profile game comes out. Fans of Splinter Cell, Killzone, and MGS should enjoy this one.

This is an exciting FPS game and quite a bargain compared to other "big name" shooters currently on the market. The plot is typical; you are out to save the world from some dark conspiracy by shooting or blowing up everything in sight. The graphics are good though not state of the art and the controls are acceptable though kind of touchy. The biggest two drawbacks are the save game feature and the sound. The game will only save at the end of a level and with the levels being quite long and difficult, you find yourself starting over a lot. The sound is good, but I experienced some cutting out of the sound quite often. Even so, it is well worth the price if you enjoy the FPS genre.
