While it's not exactly like the Doom or Wolfenstein of yesterday where you just wandered thru a level at will dispatching enemies and reaching the level endpoint, it's still fun. Another reviewer mentioned that "it's not a game; it's to a "to-do list", it's true that the game does have a certain linearity to it with objectives to accomplish very much a la SOCOM style. But that doesn't make it any less fun or enjoyable because they're still plenty of old-game style action while accomplishing said objectives. You still look for hidden areas, find hidden "stuff" like the old days it's just on a more linear way. And you have a blast in the process. The only real issue I had with it is that the controls are "wards-back" (backwards). Most FPSes use R1 to fire, and R2 for weapons select (think Socom, Killzone, etc). This one filps 'em , making for an annoying adjustment period while your get your brain re-adjusted. And even then you can get tripped up in a melee or heat of the action. And while I'm only half way thru, there is replay value apparently because the course of the game alters based on certain decisions you make during gameplay. I also have to agree with one of the other reviewers that the sex cut-scene was unnecessary as it added nothing to either the story or the game play. So I'll zing the makers on that. But overall, it's far worth the $15 for desertcart's warehouse deals/overstock. 103 people found it 4 or 5 stars, and the other 22, well... whatever.
