    There was potential here, but dreadful graphics and poor artificial intelligence make this a battle best avoided.

    If you absolutely need to try it out, we suggest you give either the 360 or PC version a try. Then again, you probably shouldn't bother. This is just a bad game, and Jonathan Farrell needs to find himself a better job.

    Ultimately, though, the biggest blow against the game is its brevity. You shouldn't have trouble clearing its single-player mode in two or three hours.
