I'm probably going to receive a major internet ridiculing because of what I'm about to say, but I don't care. For some reason video gamers take it pretty personally when you criticize their favorite games. Oh well.

I place this game among the ever growing heap of generic FPS games. Every once in a while you get a really good one that definitely stands above the rest, but this isn't one of them. Oh, it has its little twists like "feral powers" and "treebranch booby traps". But all in all it's just simply a variation on a theme.

I have two really big qualms with this game, however. The first was mentioned in several other reviews: longest load times ever between levels and a ridiculously long, unskippable trailer every time you load up a game from the main menu. I can understand the long load times, but the several minute trailer every time you start a new game? The second item I have a problem with will definitely be controversial among gamers. It is the proliferous use of the "F" bomb and other profanity throughout the game. There, I said it. Yes, boys, I know it's rated "M". Frankly, I've never heard that word used in a rated "M" game before, though. And I've played a ton of rated "M" games.

So, to sum it all up, the game is on par with every other FPS you've ever played in your life with really crappy load times, a start-up trailer that will allow you to go cook dinner while you're waiting, and a lot of grisly language to make you feel tough. I would recommend this game to hard core gamers who just plain love to play FPS games, but not to more selective players waiting for a more quality, addicting game.
