    Easily the cleverest game to emerge in some time and making your way through it's intricate innards is one of the most rewarding experiences the PS2 can currently offer. A slice of gaming heaven.

    Looks like a shooter, but at its heart it’s a mind-busting puzzle game that transcends its own graphical limitations and delivers an intelligent gamer’s paradise.

    Whilst the graphics aren’t exactly the most impressive seen on the PlayStation 2; the gameplay makes up for the lack in looks.

    Lacks the full-on rampage of other action titles. "Halo" this is not. Combat is almost a throw-away sub-feature, and it shouldn't be.

    A disappointment...A neat idea having a city where the socio-economics are broken down so structurally. With nasty goings on occurring in the recesses of the city, I honestly wanted to love this game.

    This is a PS2 series of riddles you don't want to rely too much on a strategy guide to beat, since solving them on your own or with friends is more than half the fun.

    A leaden interface almost completely nullifies any enjoyment one might derive from this otherwise unique blend of action, adventure and puzzle elements.

A co-op experience unlike any other, it rewards teamwork and lateral thinking. The game feels like it may benefit from PC controls but I had no problem adjusting to its control scheme, which can take place in either third or first-person view points. I'd say the game being multiplayer is core to the experience although there is enjoyment to be had in single player so long as you've got your thinking cap on.… Expand

I will admit, I didn't understand this game one bit when I bought it and it ended up sitting on my shelf for almost a year collecting dust. Last year (04) I started to play the game and after lending my time to it, got to understand what the game was about. It is my favorite game now, though I still have not beat it. I'm on level 9 out of 11. This game did it for me and all I can say is once you've given this game some time, all you will want is time for the game. lol… Expand

    Innovative hybrid of third person shooter and point and click adventure set in an atmospheric and well realised grimy future dystopia. BasedInnovative hybrid of third person shooter and point and click adventure set in an atmospheric and well realised grimy future dystopia. Based upon the Lost Vikings idea you control a team of four, simultaneously switching between each character as and when their specialised skills are required. Combat is slightly clumsy and the environments so sprawling and puzzles so complex that you can find yourself aimlessly wandering around with little clue as to what to do next, but this makes finding the solution that much more satisfying. Not for the impatient, but if you like games that involve strategy and plenty of thought, this is a quality sci-fi adventure.… Expand
