I love the atmosphere and mythology of the game. Graphics are good for a first generation xbox 360 game. There are a few cons, like linear gameplay and a non existent fps tactical aspect, but, I still enjoy the game, the characters and their abilities.

I was hoping that this would be a hidden gem. Not at all. The gameplay is almost unplayable and the enemies are way too fast and hard to kill, being that the gunplay to this game absolutely sucks. Don’t buy. It’s not worth the headache

This game offers similar gameplay as Doom 3 but with a far more enthralling storyline, this gameplay portion is partly a downfall. In the comparison between this and Doom 3 I speak in terms of the darkness factor becoming very common with this genre of shooter. The caves and corridors in this game are very dark and often offer little chance to have a leg up on the bad guy and sometimes you are often face to face with a frustrating foe before you realize you are being attacked, although this does add to the suspense of a game it gets old very fast and the lack of change in scenery makes the game more bland. The character switching and special abilities add to the gameplay value and offer thrilling moments of gameplay but they compare poorly to the similarly utilized "plasmids" used in the game Bioshock. All in all the game is probably not worth the 60 dollar price tag but certainly worth a rental.Read full review
Wow I crossed my fingers hoping that this game would rock as a first person shooter,I mean c'mon now we have Clive Barker aka the king of the almighty "Pinhead" from Hellraiser.I was getting a little hyped up once jumping off the helicopter and getting into the game and main story line,yeah which lasted for 10 minutes.This game has got to be one of the oddest games to play....and not by shooting in anyway,no that part is simple,it's controlling everyone in your crew.For example each member of your crew has a unique style of combat and you may have to use them at certain times of the game,but reading on how to do it while firing your weapon is kind of hard.Holding the "A" button then selecting with the directional pad,pressing down for "Alpha" or "Omega" squad...ahhh it hurts so much to even type this up.And what makes it even more confusing is that your team members will call you by your first name but the D pad has them by last name...I mean really I have to remember everybody's first and last name??The only good thing about the game is the graphics on the monsters,they have much detail but then again they could have used them in a much better video game.Another lousy thing in this game is you have to mash certain buttons,for example if you played God of War or Resident Evil 4 where certain button patterns come up....yeah I find it pointless to even put that in this game....just makes it suck more.Buy the game put the mode on Hard and complete it in 1 - 2 days you'll get all your acheivements very quickly,that's if you stay long enough for the load times.Read full review
This game is great. It does a great job at building a horror-like atmosphere for your characters to travel through, and the constant darkness of these levels is great! Lot's of people bash it because you do not have much freedom in roaming around in this game, but that ads a lot to the difficulty. When you are going through trenches and run across a pustule infested suicide bomber you have nowhere to run, and some of your team will probably die in the process. But, you can always revive these characters! Switching between characters is a vital part of the game as well and each character has their different unique abilities and weapons. The AI and your personal armada are not very intelligent and will often make stupid mistakes, but this is true in just about any game :P All in all, the game takes around 8-10 hours to complete, but you will want to play it till you have beaten it! The story line makes it so that when you turn off your game in frustration from dying so often that you just want to flip it back on again to see what happens next!Read full review
