Functionally, the game was almost perfect, with only minor issues with the AI of the team members. The ability of the medic to heal the player to a certain amount, but with some damage that stays with the player through a mission or two is about as realistic as a game could get.
The graphics are fair at best but the sound is horrible. These voice actors make Halle Berry sound good in the Cat Woman game. Ok, well maybe not that bad.
You will, however, find the console fans bickering about the sluggish play, friendly AI glitches, and the overall lack of excitement that surround this title.
The multiplayer aspect is particularly entertaining, with a variety of missions available ... and more to come thanks to the downloadable content option.
Purple Haze adds nothing of note. In all the game is a bit of a mystery: it's clearly aging and clearly inferior to the PC version and really doesn't benefit from being on consoles in any way.
It is the very definition of average. There are some nice ideas lurking within and if they had been implemented better then the title could have been far more enjoyable.
The A.I. of your teammates is simply horrendous. [Dec 2004, p.95]
