    It's not too hard, it has a certain charm, it lets you take things on in your own way (as a commander or a commando), and it isn't afraid of pushing the old-fashioned arcade challenge of getting through a level without hitting F6 every ten seconds.

    The ambiance and atmosphere are usually enough all by themselves to suck you in; but never quite enough to make you ignore the hundred little things that matter.

    I miss this game so much, my PS2 is ruined and i have a Xbox 360 now.

If they made this game for Xbox Arcade i would buy it again in a split second. It might not be amazing to control a hand full of AI people now but when the game came out it was amazing. I never had a problem with this game and i loved playing it in multiplayer. This is a must try game if your not afraid of an old engine. Music for this game is awesome aswell. I also would like to mention that even if you are a european and perhaps not to much into the america-f*** yes type of came, fear not, this is made by a danish company. Let's hope they make a sequal.… Full Review »

Maybe part of my problem was playing it out after lots of Mass Effect 3, thus having expectations about companions' behavior as well as crisp gun control.

    Graphics are very nice and atmospheric, those hold up quite well after 9 years, technological advances aside.

    I did ultimately enjoy the level design, back-and-forth maps, and fun comic booky story, despite its forceful cheesiness.

    But I don't know that post-2011 gamers will get much out of the gameplay. I grew impatient and frustrated (perhaps I should've just played in Normal mode to begin with) and rather than give up completely, chose to barrel my way through the content in god mode so i could at least see the neat little story and levels.

    I'd only recommend it to nostalgic FPS fans.    … Full Review »

    Tight controls, fantastic AI, good Hollywood style story (yeah, it's cheesy at times, but if you liked The Rock and Independence Day styleTight controls, fantastic AI, good Hollywood style story (yeah, it's cheesy at times, but if you liked The Rock and Independence Day style bravado you'll feel right at home) and a healthy challenge combine to form one of the true surprise hits of any generation of gaming. I was amazed when the enemies provided cover fire for their teammates that were moving into flank position and how smoothly my own teammates took cover and engaged appropriately with a very simple command scheme. Granted there aren't a wealth of guns or character progression/customization elements, but the true beauty of this game derives from the simplistic-yet-demanding strategy required in order to complete the games objectives. Really wish they'd do a proper sequel or at least provide this title via XBLA/PSN for those with now incompatible PCs.… Full Review »
