Let me start by saying, this is a cool game. Althogh, you'll probably only play it through once. The story is pretty good, but the ending is so dumb. I'm not gonna tell you how it ends, but it's as bad as KOTOR2. There is no closure, no kissing the girl, no seeing the bad guy fall to his doom. The multi-player is awful. Infact, there is no multiplayer (heh heh). The back of my box is raited Mature for intense violence, blood and gore. They forgot to put strong language on it. There is a good bit of language used in this game. If you like RPG's you probably don't want to bother with this game. If you like shooting zombies this is the game for you. If you don't give a rip...why are you reading this? (I'm moving fast I know, but I've got a college assignment due friday, and I need to start working on it. I'm in for Video Game Art and Design, if that helps your oppinion of me any.) The cops in the game are very fun to mess with on the first level. I like to throw cans at them, and make them mad. Anyway, the graphics are good, the gameplay is fun, but the story is lacking, and the music in the game is good, but not used often enough. Hope this helps.
 Great game. October 13, 2007

Well, I'm a little late as this game has been out for some time now. So long in fact that you can't even buy the XBox version from Amazon itself, but from others in the Amazon Marketplace (new, used), which is what I did. I was a little skittish at first to order it in this way, but it worked out very well. In fact, I may have recieved it sooner than if I had been able to purchase it from Amazon. The person must have shipped it the very same day.
The graphics are really good for an Xbox title. I also played the PC demo, so I know the graphics on the PC are much better. One of the problems with having an XBox version is you can't play "Episode 2". You also can't play multiplayer, it isn't even an option. I thought it odd it had no multiplayer, then I read in another review that the PC version DOES have multiplayer.
A few problems I had with this game were minor. I'm not sure if it's the XBox controls, or just the game, but I would have trouble many times trying to do something as simple as get through a door. I'd just get kind of get hung up for no reason that I could see (no clutter around me). There was a lot of clutter in the game. Not so much a bad thing, but sometimes it could make a simple task of walking hard as there was always stuff laying around.
I also noticed some slow points as the XBox had trouble keeping up with the action. This isn't a game issue. In fact, I have a first gen XBox. You may find a later generation works a little better.
There are two driving levels. I found them to be a pain. The controls for the vehicles are not very good. And, they just seem to go forever. It may have been better if they split them up a bit. They went on so long I found myself getting dizzy and had to take a break.
Some aspects of the game were just amazing. As much as I'd like to tell you about them, I don't want to spoil anything. I know I didn't expect them, and it gave me a "WOW!" moment more than once.
This isn't a straight up shooter like the Halo series. In many places you have to figure out how to get to the next area. This can be frustrating. I found myself in a room for about 15 minutes as I swam to the same places I had been to many times trying to figure out what the heck I missed. And, it's always something really simple that makes you slap yourself on the head.
One really nice thing about this game is the length. I'm not sure how long it took me to beat it, but it was quite a few hours. This is nice when you think of other games that only have about 7 to 10 hours of gameplay. It really makes it feel like you got your moneys worth, even if it did only cost 12 bucks...lol
Now compatible on the 360! October 9, 2007

One of the best, most engulfing FPS games *ever* is now playable on the xbox 360 (until recently the xbox game did not play on the 360 and I thought i'd have to wait for the 360 version to come out - due soon, i believe). Even so, i'm probably going to have to get the 360 version when that comes out; i'm sure it'll be even more amazing.
Awesome game! Tons of fun! September 14, 2007

This is one of the best games I've ever played. It's also very long and tons of fun for hours and hours of game playing.
