While the story is really bad and leaves a lot to be desired, this is a VERY fun game to play. Especially if you like mindless violence, blood and gore, explosions, and if you enjoy time-control based puzzles. I've played this game on both PC and Xbox360 since it came out, and I enjoy playing through it every once in a while.
short review 6/10 i liked some but most of it was boring if you want a good shooter game with time mechanics play singularity or F.E.A.R PROS time abilities set pieces sometimes were cool CONS story gunplay NPCS ending felt samey the last boss sucked
