    Everything about the game is over-the-top, including the story, and in our book that's no bad thing. Like diving around and shooting bad guys in slow motion? Buy this.

    Sometimes, try as you might, you can't put your finger on what makes a game fun to play, and this is one of those occasions.

    For hardcore FPS players looking for a way to keep their skills up while playing by themselves, El Matador might be worth picking up at about $10.

    Created using the Max Payne engine, El Matador is an unapologetic over the top action shooter. I found it a lot of fun to play and absolutely beautiful to look at, its quite simply one of the best looking games released this year. At a street price of 10 bucks you'd be fool to pass it up.… Expand

    Graphics 9.5/10 Sound 6/10 Gameplay 4/10 This game lacks a way to take cover, greatly needed in the intense gunbattles with multiple enemies. You are left to either strafe to/from cover, or charge into battle. I read that this was a 'tatical' game. Well it isnt. The gameplay is very arcade-like given that it takes a billion bullets to kill you. And tho I havent played a 'stealth' mission, I can already tell that the gameplay is not designed for duck-and-hide. There isnt even a walk, with no movement speed control how are you supposed to be 'stealthy'? The AI is really plain vanilla, they just kind of take cover and dig in. anyway this game only got a 6 because of the graphics, if the graphics wernt so clean it would get a 3 overall.… Expand

    Clearly rushed out before being finished, full of bugs and glitches. Uninspiring and unoriginal gameplay, deeply lacklustre graphics, terrible voice-acting. Avoid.… Expand
