NoLiMiT06 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Oh I remember hearing about this a while back and it looked great, might have to go rent it sometime if blockbuster has it. Here is a link for anyone that wants to read up on it. IGN Official Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spy beef Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I give the game 6/10. The sneaking is so frustrating when the enemy AI seems to know exactly where you are in pitch darkness. They just seem to walk to up you, and start shooting. The voice acting didn't go well with the story. The shooting mechanic wasn't very well implemented. The RPG elements is half baked, you just go around collecting "collectibles" and then putting a point into sneak, morphine or strength. The end round stats show how many silent kills you get out of how many possible, but there are parts of the levels where it's virtually impossible to get those silent kills. I do love though, pulling the pins on the grenades of soldiers from behind :D Stay away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draken Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 well after 5 hours the game completely sucks, AI is terrible and inconsistent, mission objectives are not clear, sound clues are terrible (5.1 setup here) etc etc iackk pufff :x even the girl is not hot and zero cleavage :( and 0 havok powered boobs (well that could save a bad game like this) TeamXbox: Gamespot: 7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm not even joking, I started playing the first mission, the guards were complete ###### and killed me three times and I turned it off. Maybe I was too hungover to really try, but this is going back to my friend tomorrow xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 agree, this was a disappointment. it could have been ok if they simply implemented save anywhere, but with checkpoints it's too frustrating for my liking. If you enjoy repeating the same corridors again and again until you get it right, this may be something to look into. Otherwise, not worth the hassle, even though the graphics are ok and some of the action mechanics are pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
