    Some new, fun, and playable. Though you would never realize this from any of the reviews. When I say something new I do not mean "you get a new chainsaw on your gun", I mean this game allows you to manipulate your environment. In ways that I have not see anywhere (save red faction allowing you to dig holes). But this is only the center piece of the game, the weapons have also be Some new, fun, and playable.

In ways that I have not see anywhere (save red faction allowing you to dig holes). But this is only the center piece of the game, the weapons have also be redefined. My favorites would include the underground missile launcher, grenade launcher that patiently awaits you to detonate when ready, or a vortex gun that happily pulls enemy's and terrain together (with out overpowering the player). This is a hidden gem I would recommend to any of my friends.… Expand

    This game is WAY better than the reviews - very much a Gears of War + Halo + original shooter. Fun! Through ACT 1 (I got it for $5 at a Blockbuster closing down in our area) and excited to play more tonight. Surprised I don't agree with the majority of reviews here. Odd.

    Definitly higher than the critics...this is an old-fashioned game. Sure, the story blows and the characters aren't very liakable, but I found this game to be great fun. Awesome weapons, acceptable graphics and the terrain deformation is cool. Online gives is a good amount of replay value. Maybe not worth a purchase, definitly rent it though.

    Great game concept but a little light on graphics and opposition movements. Put it this way, if I had a badass like this coming after me, I would take cover or be more evasive, but most of these guys just stay put waiting to be killed.
    A game worth playing though, and it is not all bad, in fact, it is a lot of fun, especially with the ability to change the earth.

    Given that its bland combat is little enhanced by the ability to create cover, you suspect that the promises made for the technology have simply dug its own grave. [Dec 2008, p.90]
