It's possible that this game would seem easy to someone who's played first-person shooter games before. I've played a lot of third-person shooters such as Ratchet and Clank, as well as adventure games such as Baulder's Gate: Dark Alliance. I found the controls completely non-intuitive. There is no tutorial, no way to learn how to operate the controls except being thrown into a level and repeatedly dying. There is a cooperative two-player mode, but when one character dies that player has nothing to do but sit around and watch the other player continue for many minutes--not much fun!

Non-intuitive controls: the right analog stick controls your character's rotational movement and gun aiming simultaneously, in some mysterious proportion. So when I move the control there's no way to tell if my character is just rotating her gun relative to her torso, or actually turning. My partner descibes the controls as "mushy, like driving an 1957 Buick." Furthermore, there is an "auto lookahead" mode which supposedly "returns your viewpoint to the horizon." At best it moves your viewpoint *toward* the horizon, but not all the way.

Overall the feeling I got was one of floating through the environment without actually being rooted in it, with there being only a very loose association between what I did with the controls and my character's actions on the screen. I spent a lot of times walking into walls and getting stuck in corners. Sometimes I would get hung up on some obstacle that was literally not visible on the screen, so that moving the controls had no effect on my character's movements. Only by backing out and changing the camera angle would I be able to see that there was actually some object that I had been hung up on.

The only level we played all the way through was a maze. My character died, leaving my partner to retreat out to the checkpoint. He wandered around for 10 minutes before finally stumbling on the exit--a maze of twisty passages all alike. It was difficult to get a sense of how far you'd travelled or how much you rotated. Again, there was a feeling of floating through the environment without being rooted in it.

Finally, there seems to be no story to this game, despite our playing in "Story Mode." You're dropped into the game with no idea of where you are or why you're there. There is a button you can press to bring up a one-sentence mission statement, along the lines of "Find the X and bring it to the Y." But since there's no tutorial, we just discovered this secret mission statement by accident, after trying and dying. Most importantly there's no motivation--why do I care about X? What difference does it make if it gets to Y? And why is it worth killing all these people to do so? In short, why should I care?

rent it first

I have only played this game for about a week. The graphicas are some of the best i have seen on a 1st person shooter going at 60fps. The story mode is really weak and therefor lost a star. It is used only to unlock charecters and stuff for the multiplayer. The multiplayer is superb. I have played it with 2-4 ppl and have loved every minute. The game will keep you on your feet if you have 4 players and 10 bots. It is insanely fun. All this time it is running at 60fps. It is really smotth graphics too. I would recommend this game for those people that are die hard 1st person shooter fans. It will give you hours of multiplayer fun.

Couldn't be ANY BETTER

This game isn't as good as most of the 1st person shooters on the PS1. For a release on the PS2 this is a pathetic excuse. You'd be better off buying Syphon Filter 1 or 2, or Medal of Honor for the PS1, or waiting for new versions of those games to come out on the PS2.
