    I tried this game out, and I must say that it's underrated. It's a solid, if flawed, title that proves humanity can be more insane than I am. The shooting mechanics are solid, the methods of healing, telekinesis, etc., are well-implemented, and it is original. Where else will you see people putting shotguns to the heads of werewolves AND minotaurs? The downsides includeI tried this game out, and I must say that it's underrated.

    I really had a ton of fun with this game - sure it doesn't bring anything new to the genre, but what is here is an action-packed adventure with addictive gameplay, decent graphics, well thought-out sound design. I avoided this game due to the critic review scores, but now I have first hand experience, and can honestly say that it's well worth a play-through.

    I enjoyed the game thoroughly. It may not be as polished as some of the heavy hitters out now, but it is fun. I am soooo sick and tired of space marines and aliens, and the cover system. Run, cover, shoot, and run, cover, shoot etc... That is sooo repetitive and boring.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Always avoided this game due to critics or storeowners. Recently I've been buying all these supposable horrible games that are cheaper as the years have gone by. By no means is this a top tier game in terms of production value but its fun, has decent enough gameplay, original and cool monsters that need to be killed uniquely, and some respectable epic scenes. The critics main complaint is storyline ... Give me a break. There are so many hi rated games w/ crape stories. Worth your five bucks at gamestop.… Expand

    Finally something different.... The creatures don't just sit and hide behind cover and wait for you to snipe them. You have to run and gun. Very old school. It also ramps nicely, the controls are responsive, and the scenes were spectacular. I was surprised by how much I liked the story too.

    I really like this game of true action fps with a world very detailed
    Fun is sure
    I must say this game is underrated and I don't understand why eweryone have to play this awesome game
    The only thing I don't appreciate was the abscence of the multiplayer players (not working or don't know why)
    But surely they are playing the campaign of this very interesting game (Y)

    While the formula feels a bit dated now, the result is a shooter that is still incredibly fun. [Dec 2008, p.90]

    The dev team has an eye for spectacle – a towering golem comprised of cars and other metallic detritus is a visual highlight – but these moments mostly serve to illustrate how dull your actual actions are by contrast. [Dec 2008, p.98]

    The problem with this is that Spark is relentless at throwing a huge number of beasties your way, crowding you into a corner and ripping you to shreds. There's not enough breathing space for you to heal yourself and absorb energy to use it effectively as a defensive measure. To say this had us throwing the controller at the telly and cursing is an understatement.
