A lot of critics either hate it or love it and more towards the hate which is too bad cause they just might be too used to regular shooters. See there are shooters like COD4 sold run & gun now with perks, Then theres Halo, Add some vehicle cool weapons and the future, You also have Tom Clancy real time games and if your really into those sometimes you tend to think this game is "whack". But the gameplay and different variations you could do is pretty amazing, This got bad reviews mainly because it had a $59.95 sticker & didnt have a real Singleplayer mode. This game had people who helped make Counter-Strike and thats what it almost is, but with a huge twist. If you ever played Counter-strike and its tweaked mods, then this is similiar to the World of Warcraft Counter-strike mod where you can use magic and technology + weapons. You also have 4 races to choose from which each have special attributes. Dwarf, Elf, Humans, & Trolls, which adds is more uniqueness to the game. Most players would use a troll during games where you have to defend the Artifact (FLAG) but some use the trolls as huge ninjas that run after you with enhanced speed technology & teleport. Once you get the hang of it you start developing your own way of playing thats different than everybody elses. Which makes this a sort of Cult classic.
Id give this a 3.5 out of 5 (A 4 out of 5 when your on with some PGL friends)

It can also be purchased for cheap from PGL Vendor Cool Stuff Movies, Music & Games Home Page for only $15 & probably $20 at gamestop or cheaper someplace else. I bought mine when it first came out for $59.95 but unlike Two Worlds & The Darkness, I've put in hours of play into this game and im still learning new things. |
