Overrated.
I was looking forward to this game so much. Its dark, its gritty, and its creative. Turns out, that's about all it has.
The graphics are good enough. If I had to say anything bad about it I guess it would be that it seems to really lack textures. The lighting is solid enough, as is the frame-rate and I didn't notice any pop-in. People mention that there's a bunch of glitches but I didn't really see any. I saw really bad design choices, but no genuine technical faults.
The soundwork is solid. The voice acting is actually well done and the sound effects are fine, nothing specil but not bad either.
The game-play and story are where this game truly falls flat. Some kind of demon possesses a mobster with an incredibly horrible haircut. The developers don't give any reason for it, you just happen to be possessed. The storyline is your average mobster flick, you were screwed over, go get your revenge. Your character's movement is horrible, it feels as if you're sliding around all over the place. The aiming is sloppy and all over the place. If you're aiming for someone's body, be prepared to unload a couple of clips before they die, but that's ok because it seems as if your crosshairs automatically go for the head. Your demon powers are by far the best part of the game, but they're extremely unbalanced and over powered. THe developers used very archaic level design. Its very straight forward, and several times there's no going back. If you mess something up, you may have to load a previous save rather than just continue because you don't have your demon power saved up to do a particualr thing. Really, really old-school level design, and not in the good way.
This game had a lot of promise, but it failed me in just about every possible way. Its really too bad, but you're much better off playing one of the many other shooters available.
