not the greatest of shooters but not at all a loss

Posted by: soultamer
This game is very repetative in that the only true goal is survival. the graphics are ok and the controls are pretty well done the AI is responsive but this is not one of the better shooters around. It can be fun and I do enjoy playing the game in small increments. In truth my wife bought the game for me. It is not a bad game but it can't hold its own against lost planet or call of duty 4, but its ok.
What's great about it: fast pace, good action, will keep you on your toes
What's not so great: same enemies and they keep responing till end of board

I found that the graphics are wnting but with the amount of freedom and options and freedom you get in the game I realy can't complain. This is a great real-time roleplaying game. There are so many things and actual life decisions to make that each playthrough can be different especialy since you can choose different character classes and even make your own and since you decide how your character developes each playthrough with even the same character can be different. If you like RPG's this is a must buy.
What's great about it: controls true to real life if you lived in a fantasy world
What's not so great: graohics could be alot better but for all your options its excusable

I was never really into the Metal Gear games but this one has taken me by storm. The graphics are fantastic and well everything thus far is fantastic. So unless the game suddenly goes horrible or blows up my ps3 it gets five stars. The AI is pretty good and I guess that at higher difficulties their reaction time would improve but its still pretty good.
What's great about it: I-pod among many other pieces of equipment great controls
What's not so great: I-pod would be cooler if it played the music you store on the ps3

This game is like the Star Wars lego but for Indiana Jones. It is taken straight from the movie and as I plaid the game I got so many flash backs it was not funny. Finding the hidden treasure, getting max money and finding the gold peices are truly chalenging. If you liked Lego Star Wars or Indiana Jones You will love this game. If your just a fan of Lego games this will be a great addition to your game library.
What's great about it: Super graphics, good controls and all-round fun

It is a cool game that will have you on the edge of your seat and wondering if your going to make it out alive. It is suspence filled and goary to no end. I like it but don't know if i'll play it with the lights off. A well done game that lives up to the horror genre.

The graphics are fantastic and can still hold its own to the newer games. The controls are very responsive and having different ways to go is key to making the game feel more realistic. This is a great addition to anyones game library. The job done on the AI was well done.

This game is about not taking a game serious letting your hair down so to speak and just have fun like when games were just about having fun.

I think its a cool game for the gamer that wants a break fromm it all.

This games coop will put the ps3's online up a gear or two. The game is a deffinite purchase for me. The AI of the game is sick, they roll jump and dive for cover run after shooting a couple of rounds at you, for the most part they do not just stand still and shoot. The hand gun from the demo is sick and the nector drug is a nice addition. this game seems great but this is what I got from the demo so it can get either allot better or worse. I personally think it will get better.
What's great about it: good graphics nice controls cool weapons
What's not so great: character modeling is good but could be better
