Not fun

The good:

*insert sound of ominous wind blowing here*

The bad:

How much space on this thing do I have? I basically started playing at roughly 9:30. 5 min. later, I was done. Seriously. 5 min. This game is horrible.

And the graphics that I anticipated were definitely not there. They weren’t bad, but they definitely were not the greatest. A very mixed bag on this section. No true HD quality there. Now, you can look at the picture below and say “Alec, what the hell are you talking about?” But when you play the game, some graphics look great, others look like absolute dog-sh*t! So you will be playing and think, wow, that looks pretty damn good! And then the next second, you see something blow up and think, really? WTF was that? And come on. After seeing Gears of War, how could this be considered amazing?!?

As for the enemies, I had no clue what the story line was. I’m guessing Area 51 turned out to be a hotbed for alien activity and testing and something went wrong. They didn’t tell us, so that’s only my assumption. But whatever the story line is, the enemies were a pain. The first set you fire upon (unless you try to shoot your own teammates which I was seriously tempted to do after a minute of walking around) just wouldn’t go down for the longest time. You fill their bodies with bullets and they still shoot back. Pain!

And as for your teammates, screw them! The first thing you do is enter a convenience store from the side. You go in and you take out a few of those painfully annoying aliens. But the moment you finish with one, you think everything is fine. Until all of the sudden you start getting shot. Now this could be one of two things I quickly found. The first could be that there is an enemy that you didn’t know about directly behind you. It was quite a fun time when you feel this, turn around and see that your buddies are shooting this guy right behind you that nobody told you about. The other option is that it is your buddies themselves. I had another fun time trying to figure out why I was getting shot all the time. Turned out, my buddies were behind me shooting at something behind a pillar that I was using as cover. Unfortunately, my buddies went to boot camp in Pansy, NV. They couldn’t hit the air around them! Instead, they kept shooting me. So finally, I had to retreat to get behind them.

Overall, this game was just boring. You point, you shoot, you get shot, repeat. Story was non existent for a demo, the ai was annoying, everything about that game just screams BURN ME! So with that in mind, I highly recommend you stacking up the lot at your local ebgames and taking a flame thrower to it all! Or better yet, stack them all up around the building of the games makers and burn that! The only thought of joy I have with this game is trying it again and seeing all of the ways I can kick the crap out of my cohorts! They must pay for what they did to me.
