    A very limited FPS

    The game doesn't really have much going for it.  I would call it your standard FPS if it had come out 5 years ago, but games have evolved a lot since then and what we have come to expect has changed. 
     
    Short of the basic cover system, the game has pretty much nothing else besides shooting wave after wave of enemies that spawn out of nowhere.  The nowhere spawning is at least addressed in the story, but its still nowhere spawning.  Even the cover mechanic isn't all that great, I didn't even use it most of the time. 
     
    There is nothing broken about the game, but there isnt anything great about it either.  The humor is OK, but also nothing stellar.   
     
    One of the brighter points is that its at least generous with the Achievement Points, if you know what they are and work toward them you can unlock most in the first play through. 
     
    I rented this game because I am a Will Arnett fan, but even his humor wasnt enough to make it good.  If you want a very basic FPS with some easy Achievement Points, then this might be worth a rental.  Otherwise stay away.

I think one of the funnier lines was when your character tells you he is going to finish things up and get the so and so achievement.About the achievements,  you can’t beat getting 60 achievement points for just watching the c...

      Stick With Gears of War 0

       Parodies are not known as anything new in video games. Some games even focus almost entirely on pop-culture references (including the highly acclaimed Conker's Bad Fur Day) and blatant inspirations from the world of film and music (like the now infamous bullet time gameplay feature in Max Payne). But ultimately you can only depend on parodying and mocking others so long before it grows repetitive and stale regardless as would be the case with Vicious Cycle's Eat Lead on PS3 and Xbox 36...
