What players say

Decent gunplay, very bad level design (the only good level was Dali Dali). The graphics are mid but at least the game is well optimized. Not worth full price, buy only on deep discount if you like brain dead non-stop action FPS. Game completed in around two hours on normal difficulty. 5/10, overrated.
