What players say
A solid foundation for a game that has the potential to be much better. Love the idea but it's entirely too difficult for the power trip it tries to establish. Your vehicles get blown up super easily and the cyborg enemies are tankier than T-1000's. Even the standard soldier variants in later levels require full clips to take down. You have an AI squad that goes in with you, but they get mowed down in minutes...

Was enjoying your game until I noticed the weird Jewish banker billboard on the third level. I should have guessed this game was chudcore from the mission where you kill UN peacekeepers.
I'd buy this for a dollar. 1. Fun 2 hour third person/first person game with good variety of weapons and vehicles. 2. One of the easiest games to 100% too. 3. Could provide an hour more worth of gameplay by replaying some missions with different vehicles enabled via the in game options menu. 4.Does not need heavy system requirements or much hard drive space.
