For fans of ALIAS. This is one hell of a mediocre game. It's one of those games where you can get shot literally hundreds of times and not die... For dummies (gives you arrows on where to go if you get lost). The graphics and style are a bit cartoonish (there are windows media player visualizations in some parts). The music is lame. The story is lame. I have no emotional investment in the characters and don't care where the story is going. AI is basic. Weapons are very basic, other items lame (there is a door-opening scrambling device - could never figure the thing out). I don't see anything ingenuitive or original in the game whatsoever. And once again, as in many next-gen titles, it uses GRAB COVER. Not much positive to say about the thing. The hard case for the LE was very nice...I don't give it a 1, because there are far worse things out there. But I cannot for the life of me understand why this is a franchise. Not really impressed by it's production company either (RARE). Maybe this next-gen release is an upgrade visually from its predecessor in the franchise, but even compared to last-gen games like Halo, Half-Life2 or Doom3 produced years ago, it just doesn't measure up. It might make for a basic introduction into an FPS for a very young person that has never played one before.
