Title: Mediocre game, opportunity wasted
Review: Some of the graphics and character modelling look great, but that's the best the game has to offer. The gameplay is uninspired: you run through a level, fighting guys, until you get to the end of the level, then you go to the next level. There's no strategy to it and nothing to think about. You just tap keys a lot. The game levels are interwoven with cut scenes, both animated and filmed, which is actually annoying in practice; you want to play the game and you have to stop and wait far too long to do so. Plus the inflexible game save system forces you to watch the same movies over and over again for difficult levels. The controls are awkward. The story, such as it is, is unnecessary, and anyway if they wanted to tell a story they should have just released it as a video like The Animatrix. The saddest thing is that they wasted a great opportunity to make a mind-blowing game; the game is sadly conventional.
