    Overall, Prejudice is a vast improvement over the original with new modes to experience, polished controls and an even deeper customization system. If you're looking for a fun time alone or to share with some friends, for $15 you really can't go wrong here.

    The single player campaign is solid, but it's multiplayer that makes every cent of this $15-game worth. [July 2011, p.114]

    A budget game that delivers a budget experience. [Aug 2011, p.102]

  1. When I first saw the trailer for this game I thought it looked kinda good, but after seeing the price my jaw dropped. For 15$ you will get a complete game experience, an about 5-6 hour long singelplayer with a standard story but it`s still fun and it teaches you the basics of the game.

    You will get a multiplayer that is full of memorable moments and adrenaline filled shootouts, but don`t confuse it with the ordinary "run & gun" gameplay because this game is all about teamplay and tactics. The multiplayer battles got support for 32 players and the game mode is called Conquest. You battle for 4 control points and for dynamic objectives to win the match, it`s very much like the conquest mode in the Battlefield games but with more things happening (like dynamic objectives). The objectives can be to kill a VIP player or to kill a bunch of players, but it can also be about protecting things or attacking things like a transport. Then you got a mode called Swarm, it`s a co-op game type which you can play either by yourself with bots or with up to 3 friends, the objective is to protect a capture point from enemy AI soldiers for 15 minutes, this game mode is very fun indeed. It´s like the survival mode in Left 4 Dead but with some nice tower defense added to spice all up. When you kill enemies you gain money both in Swarm and in Conquest and with that money you can buy vehicles and turrets, it`s a very important part of the game and makes it more tactical. All in all this is a great game which you should buy if your a fan of FPS games and for just 15$ dollars you aren`t exactly taking a big risk, and i bet you will like the game when you learnt the basics. I give this game 9/10 for it`s amazing price and simply because it`s a great game!

    Extremely fast-paced multiplayer. Entertaining campaign. Graphics are UT3 era-ish (no surprise seeing as it uses the UT game engine), but still quite acceptable. Doesn't really bring much new to the FPS genre, but what it does bring it does well. I like the purchasing options during the game so no one can become too over powering right off the bat. Plus if you want the good stuff, you need to get and stay involved in the fight to earn money for upgrade purchases. Decent weapons load options too. Wish the weapons sounds had a little more "oomph" to them, but not that big of a deal. And for $15 bucks?? It's a slam-dunk deal. Expand

    Section 8: Prejudice is well priced. Any more and it would be a rip off; any less and it would be underselling itself. While the game is well polished in terms of visuals and controls, there are a few minor flaws which take away from the gameplay. For one thing, no off-hand grenades or melee attacks certainly place S8:P behind the curve of the modern FPS genre. The campaign is understandably linear at best and frustratingly repetitive at worst. The multiplayer is entertaining, although I find myself building load-outs that mimic Bad Company 2 or COD.

    The game feels like a cross between Unreal Tournament 3, Halo and Gears of War. It's a fun game for what it is. Easy to pick up and easy to put down.

  4. Overall I was disappointed by this game. The graphics are decent, but not particularly impressive. The gameplay is where it really lacks. The campaign is incredibly dull and uninspired. I can't remember the last FPS game I played that I got so bored of I quit after several levels. The weapons feel incredibly weak and bland; for a sci-fi game I expected something a little more interesting than the standard pistol, AR, Sniper, etc. and all of the weapons are very weak. Even with the Auto Lock On mechanic it takes a ton of bullets to kill anything. The drop in mechanic in MP quickly gets annoying due to AA preventing you from dropping on most areas of the map. The deployable weapons are rather weak as well, which quickly made them more of nuisance to deploy than a benefit. This game was not even worth $15. Expand
