I love this game for the gunfights, over-the-top powers, and to a moderate extent, the characters and story, but design flaws are aplenty. Firstly TRANSPARENT WALLS!? that's just plain lazy in level designing, secondly every level is closed ended and scripted, which I'm not a fan of. I prefer the Crysis/Farcry kind of approach to an objective. Here's my biggest gripe, this game was very obviously made for the consoles and their low-end hardware, not only are the stock graphics outdated and unimpressive, there are no video options to kick the graphics up, and this game only runs on stereo, anything more(4.1/5.1/7.1) will yield absolutely NO SOUND. The port over for controls are unintuitive as well. However considering all the significant downsides, it's still a moderately decent shooter, and quite frankly Activision, you guys got no right to be disappointed with the sales.… Expand

Despite its obvious resemblance to Bioshock and Half-Life 2, it put in its series of innovation that made this game very funny and enjoyable to play. The Science-Fiction plot is really something, and game engine is very well-made; there are different upgradable weapons and lots of ways to crush your enemies, and you will actually need them at higher difficulty levels. The game offers alternate finals and lots of background information all around the game world. Multiplayer is not really innovative but it can be really fun. I believe that this was a game i always waited, and Activision gave us a beautiful game to play with.… Expand

   Недурный боевичок-триллер с довольно интересным сюжетом про альтернативную историю, связанную с открытием некой Сингулярности и изобретениемНедурный боевичок-триллер с довольно интересным сюжетом про альтернативную историю, связанную с открытием некой Сингулярности и изобретением МВП в СССР, всякими интригами, и даже с несколькими концовками. Геймплейно это линейный шутер с возможностью прокачки себя, своих способностей через МВП, и оружия, прокачка простая и незамысловатая, что только плюс. Декорация не особо красивые и запоминающиеся, выделяются лишь советской символикой, игра хоть и построена на UE3, выглядит для 2010 года устаревше. Однако, убивать солдат и монстров (их здесь несколько видов) с помощью способностей и неплохого арсенала довольно весело, экшн не даст заскучать до самого конца игры. В целом, хороший шутер на один раз, фан дает, а большего от него требовать глупо.… Expand

   It is a good quality FPS, but nothing more in fact. Lovely weapons, nice setting, sadly - no original ideas.… Expand

   Worse, this game isA boring, linear, heavily scripted shooter, with tons of health packs and mountains of ammo scattered everywhere.
   
   Worse, this game is strongly anti-Russian, on a level of a cheap B-movie. Also, it's obvious that not a single Russian native speaker was in the dev team. There are many flags and banners and posters everywhere in the scenery with Russian sentences or words - all of them Google-translated from English. I mean, as a native speaker, I usually was confused by those sentences as they didn't make sense, but after I literally translated them backwards to English, then I understood what they meant. Even the name of the place, katOrga-12, with O stressed, is totally wrong! First, there is a Russian word "kAtorga" (A stressed!) which is obsolete and was mostly used until end of 19th century, and means "imprisonment" (the process of being in prison) or "hard work" and not "prison" itself as a place - I guess the devs meant to call this place a "prison" or "labor camp". Even then, Russians would never name a secret military/sci installation a "prison" ("turmA"), instead it would be something like "camp" or "base" or just "objekt 12345" or something. I could provide tons of other examples.
   
   So that you could understand me, imagine you are playing a Chinese game where everything is in Chinese, and the Chinese devs make a game about the USA, so to make Chinese players feel it's about the USA they insert random broken English sentences which they Google-translated from Chinese in hope that no American will ever play the game, and Chinese don't know English anyway. Yes, it will feel like a nuthouse to you as an English native speaker, should you ever play this game. It will clearly show that devs are amateurs. You would think: are there so few Americans in China so that they couldn't hire a single guy for proofreading?
   
   If I were on the dev team, I'd suggest writing every banner and every poster in Russian purely, as it should have been in reality in a Russian military base. But when the player looks at them, there would be subtitles shown with an English translation. Btw those sentences with mirrored R and N (to look like Я and И) are almost unreadable!… Expand
