    A technically sound game that exudes banality.

    Boring and sub-par gameplay, combined with bland visuals and sounds, creates a gaming experience that should be missed. More time was needed fine tuning things such as game mechanics, visuals, and audio.

    Besides the fact that I should never be able to sit down and beat a game in my first sitting, there's absolutely nothing that makes me want to go back and play it again.

    Enemy AI is shoddy, as is the hit-detection. The graphics are also deficient, with nearly every element in the game looking bland. [Apr 2004, p.9]

    But the saddest part has to be the staggering number of people who worked on this thing, including some well-respected developers. Just check the credits from the manual. I’m not counting them all, but that’s about 400 names.

    The reason I give it a 3 is because of the use of Arnie`s voice in this diabolical disgrace from atari.

    I liked Dawn of Fate, but this game makes DoF look like a game of the year winner.

    They could have done so much better, it honestly looks like some of the old video games I used to play on a 486 computer. It seems likeThey could have done so much better, it honestly looks like some of the old video games I used to play on a 486 computer. It seems like someone at "Black Ops" just decided... "man...I gotta pay my bills because I spent all my money on ass-ramming dildos this month.. lets make a game in a few hours using this game engine I found in the dumpster behind atari!"… Expand
