 Shoulders for Giants January 4, 2008
This underrated game has been cited as an inspiration for hit games like "Gears of War" and "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune". I played this game when it was released back in 2003. I remember being impressed with the cover-oriented combat system. At the time I thought it was the best implementation of using cover in gun fights. I felt that maybe "Winback" and the "Metal Gear" games were its spiritual predecessors, but looking back I think this game really took it to another level and the "hiding behind cover" craze that has swept "shooter" games since the popularity of Gears really has its roots in kill.switch. This game is inexpensive now and I would encourage any Gears fan to give it a look. It is compatible with the 360.
Pretty good game, bit dated now December 22, 2007
I played this game when it first came out, and recently bought it for < 10 bucks at a second-hand game shop. The game play over all is very good, although some of the shared buttons are not a good idea. The graphics now look pretty bland, but since it came out in 2003 that is only to be expected. I keep waiting for Kill.Switch II to come out, but it never has. Shame really. This game has some very good ideas in it, and the physics of recoil and the general environment were very clever.

One word, SUCKS but I will take the time to explain (in what little detail there is)how stupid this game really is.OK first of all bad controls ,your pressing 1 button to use wall cover and another to fire while hittng up,all at the same time!!!Next low variety of weapons 3 or 4 at the most (splinter cell is an exception!)Last but not least ,graphics easily the high point of this idiotic peice of trash,and they still look terrible!!!
Look take it from me stay away from this.......thing as much as possible,even if their giving it away for free!!!trust me.
FLIP THE F***ING KILL SWITCH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! October 30, 2005
Kill.Switch....This game is simply amazing. The graphics aren't too shabby, especially for 2003. It's the attention to detail in the graphics that is astonishing. For example: I shot from my cover and killed a man that was about 10 feet away. When he fell his gun fell out of his hand and bounced a bit and it leaned against the wall after it bounced and wiggle....THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD DO IN REAL LIFE!!!! The blind firing techniques are a definate perfecting to put into a game. I'm suprised no other game developers have gotten smart and used it. Too damn bad for them. Anyway, the gameplay is solid. Nonstop action. Shooting every which way just to stay alive. This may make you think that the game is unrealistic....yeah, IT'S NOT!!!! Take a couple well placed hits from any enemy and you're dead, especially the mounted turrets. They created the game in such a realistic way that you MUST use your cover in order to survive. here's no option. You either use it or you die. Which takes us to the OCS (offensive cover system). This enables u to get against basically any surface and use it as cover. When there, you can lean out and shoot accurately at your attackers OR you can use the newly created feature that works with the OCS: Blind fire. This is when you stick your gun out the side of your cover and fire it without looking. It keeps you from getting hit, but it is also about as accurate as something very inaccurate. But it helps many time throughout the game....MANY TIMES!!!! about 9 guns and 4 types of grenades. This game rocks mt f***ing socks. get it. It's cheap and well worth the small amount u pay for it.
