    If you're looking for a shooter with depth, complex metaphors or even a coherent plot, look away now. But if you're looking for $15 of gory, mindless fun, this is your game. I agree that linear, simple to a fault and as subtle as a brick wall, but it has good graphics, varied weapons/enemies and enough blood to fill the Gulf o Mexico. It looses points for lacking an autosave functionIf you're looking for a shooter with depth, complex metaphors or even a coherent plot, look away now.

It looses points for lacking an autosave function competitive multiplayer that is anything more than an afterthought.

    The Second Encounter is by far the most frenetic first-person game we've played in a while. [Issue#66, p.102]

    To those who have not tried this series or something similar before, it is a good chance for a different approach to FPS games. Direct action without automatic healing and a high difficulty level only for the brave.
