  1. In the end, Singularity is an awesome FPS wrapped in an engaging piece of science fiction.
  2. A nice working mix of puzzles and action, with great rhythm and a varied formula. By focusing on the core themes of the first person shooter experience, Singularity is an excellent a quite surprising game.
  3. It may not be a AAA stunner, but Raven software has proven time and time again why they are one of the consistently superb shooter developers in the industry, a title that they've maintained for nearly 20 years now.
  4. Long live trash! Raven Software proves that even absurd stories can be entertaining, as long as there's a decent game to back it up. But there was a lot more potential.

    This is a Doom 3 inspired game, with a strong dose of Bioshock, and a brush of Half Life 2. I love this game for the gunfights, over-the-top powers, and to a moderate extent, the characters and story, but design flaws are aplenty. Firstly TRANSPARENT WALLS!? that's just plain lazy in level designing, secondly every level is closed ended and scripted, which I'm not a fan of. I prefer the Crysis/Farcry kind of approach to an objective. Here's my biggest gripe, this game was very obviously made for the consoles and their low-end hardware, not only are the stock graphics outdated and unimpressive, there are no video options to kick the graphics up, and this game only runs on stereo, anything more(4.1/5.1/7.1) will yield absolutely NO SOUND. The port over for controls are unintuitive as well. However considering all the significant downsides, it's still a moderately decent shooter, and quite frankly Activision, you guys got no right to be disappointed with the sales. Expand
  2. The great game of most aspects of the where graphic wonderful and easy way to control and wonderful story but flawed one big problem is the lack of writing the bottom of the screen allows the player the opportunity to understand the story's largest
    I liked the end of many where you have three scenarios to end, including the judgment of the world or save the world by killing yourself or give preferred to save the world for someone else

  3. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Underestimated. Singularity is not an "amazing" game but has a lot of potential that wasn't used properly, and thus, we got a game with very interesting story and a pretty nice gameplay. Graphics are definitely not a strong factor in this game, Unreal Engine 3 is a limited, tired engine that his glory days already behind him. The story, though, is very interesting and was one of the factors that made me buy this game. You are an american army officer of some black-ops unit that infiltrates an base to take an old mysterious tech that can roll things back and forth in time (you will like this)., and as you progress in the game you see ghosts and "people" that were effected by the radiation that occurred during that experiments in this facility. Your weapon arsenal game be upgraded with "weapon upgrade units" that you find as you play and so as your "TMD Tool" that allows you to "age" materials and renew them - you can upgrade the tool as well. As for the gameplay itself, it sometimes gets really "old", you can't shoot monsters unless they on the ground as you ( if they climbing the fence for example). Enemy attack trigger works only if you really close to them, or if you aim at the with sights. All an all, this game deserves more Exposure them he got. Go get it, you will not regret it. Expand

    Subtitles/captions is a must for hearing impaired players like me. This game has no subtitles at all! By the time I finished the game I have no idea what the game is all about. I am left wondering what the hell the game is all about. Other than that the game has fun gameplay. Expand
