The game didn't come out until today, look at the dates of the reviews. This game is a horrible, horrible game. It's a great exercise in button mashing though. Pretty much throughout most of the game you keep hitting the 'B' button until the enemy dies. Also I had the game crash on me 3-times within the first hour. It doesn't even look that good. It's a good thing I bought the game at Electronics Boutique, I can return the game there. I can't believe they actually put out games like this. And I only gave it one star because the scale doesn't go down to -12. Don't buy this game, rent it if you're really curious, but avoid it like the plague.

This game [is bad]!

I got this game because the screenshots and previews looked so cool, but let me tell you, the most frustrating thing about this game is there is NO WAY YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF when the solders espciallythe tiger claw guys come after you. It's rudimentary and mundame combat sequences. You literally get stomped and jumped at every corner... there are NO DEFENSE mechanisms so if one of those little suckers gets a hit in, you just have to sit there and take the BRUNT of the combos. This makes for a truly frustrating game. The save function [is bad] as it will only save the beginning of the levels that you are playing, so no matter how afr you get in a level and you hit the save function, it will only save back to teh beginning of the level.

This game is all hype, no substance totally ...as bad as state of emergency. Save your money, RENT this game but dont buy.

What in the name of-?!?!?!?!!!

I guess I can't complain to much being I got this game for the price of a value meal from a fast food restaurant. It could've been a free toy in a kids meal and I still would have thought it was lame. And those graphics (MORE LIKE CRAPICS), if I was one of the creators for this game I would have refused it's release. Now I never base my reviews on graphics alone. The gameplay (MORE LIKE LAMEPLAY IN THIS CASE) is the most important factor. Well that's another story.. it's just so lame. LAME LAME LAME!! WHAT A HORRIBLE GAME GAME GAME!!, & WHAT A SHAME SHAME SHAME... This is as bad as getting a fruit cake for Christmas. This game does get an award though, The award for worse game of the year. A lesson was learned here. More times then not.. you get what you pay for.

awful just awful

You've been reading in the other reviews how wonderful this game is especially because of the many weapons the character may wield. Here are the "cons" to this game and they are substantial enough for me to wish I had never bought the game. Combat is elementary, bland, repetitive and, at times, quite annoying. The graphics are not to the level one would expect with Xbox. The story is weak. The most annoying element is the save feature. You cannot save as you go despite the menue and the process leading to this possible conclusion. This ends up being one of the most annoying and aggrevating features of the game. This game is definitly not worth your money. Imagine a worse version of Obi Wan.

Quite frustrating

The lack of a story line, confusing names, bad voice acting, and so-so graphics are the least of this game's problems. The worst aspect is the poor gameplay.

1) This has to be the worst of the worst: when you are hit, it takes 2-5 seconds to recover, during which time you cannot fight but will continue to take hits and damage from your enemies. It doesn't matter how hard you hit any buttons. Your character will spin for a few seconds and bleed away. And get this: when you hit an enemy, he doesn't suffer from this problem! So if you play this game, be prepared to die many unnecessary deaths.

2) While there's an impressive list of weapons in the game, many are very poorly implemented. Get a machine gun or shot gun, and you'll find that you can't really aim accurately. Sometimes... even when you aim and fire at the enemy, he doesn't suffer any damage! I don't know if this is a bug, or just another way for some sadistic programmer to make a gamer's life miserable.

3) Enemies are strong. As mentioned before, they don't get immobilized temporarily like your character does, and they are really tough... I'm talking about the non-bosses! And there's no difficulty option in this game.

4) Even though you can access the save screen at any time during the game, it doesn't really save the game at the point you think you are saving. Instead, when you load the game, it starts from the beginning of the mission! And what exactly constitutes a savable mission is also confusing.

In short, this is a terrible game. There's some fun factor in it, that's why I give it 2 stars instead of 1. But I truly think it'll take a few years off your lifespan because of its high degree of frustration.

Has Potential, But Ultimately Disappointing

This game needs work. The graphics basically stink, the sounds and AI are often annoying, and you can't save at specific points. The fighting is okay considering you can execute different moves with different weapons. And it's cool that you have some NPCs to help you through the game. Overall, I didn't find the game that much fun to play...I'm going back to Halo!

ALOT OF HYPE JUST NOT MY TYPE.

THE BEST THING THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS GAME IS THAT THE CUTSCENES ARE DESIGNED EXCELLENTLY BUT AS WITH ALL ADVANCED SYSTEMS THESE DAYS ALL CUT SCENES ARE GREAT. THE GAME PLAY IS ROUGH AND THERE ARE ALOT OF GLITCHES AS WELL. PLAYING THIS GAME REMINDED ME OF PLAYING AN OLD PLAYSTATION GAME. THE IN GAME DETAIL WASN'T THAT GREAT AND THE GRAPHICS LEFT US YEARNING. THE GRAPHICS USED FOR THE WEAPONS WERE ACCEPTABLE BUT OVERALL THE GAME STUNK. I DEFINATELY RECOMMEND RENTING THIS GAME AND TESTING IT BEFORE PURCHASING.

Biiig disappointment!!

What a major let down. The XBOX is the ultimate system and this game has the look of an old pc game. Hesitates all the time and the graphics... eek! Pass on this one for sure and spend your [money] on something worth while.
