    You are Empty is a generic first person shooter. You shoot bad guys, clear a room, and repeat, until you have found the exit. But this game is still pretty fun. The weapons are all pretty neat, like the nail gun, electric shock cannon, and that submachine gus with a drum mag. The enemies are pretty diverse and interesting, like this half human half helicoptor guy who flys into the air and tries to spot weld you. Also there is leaning, if that helps. Just don't expect half-life2. Expand

    I can understand all the negative reviews but you know what? I've seen worse! This game actually has a creepy atmosphere and music that sort of sucks you in (love the cinematics)... no the graphics are not spectacular and the game does have it's flaws but in all fairness.....it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be!

    I don't know what Mariusz is on about, but this game is horrendous, regardless of setting and timeframe.

    Great level design, great gloomy atmosphere, great soundtrack, very arty and very well done movies in between levels. Game mechanics are a bit clunky but this is not really annoying. Enemies are also anything but smart but they're definitely fun. Though primitive in it's game design (shoot everything that comes in your way), this game somehow manages to be addictive, mainly because of the gloomy stalinist-totalitarian atmosphere. Expand

    One of the worst games I have ever played. All enemies are stupid, lame, and all look the same. NO real plot, graphics are horrible (except for the cinematics) AVOID at all costs!

    Con: Awful quality, gamplay, repetitieve, doesn't scare, not worth the money, poor plot, glitches, buggy, busted, broken, and downright awful Pro: No one is making u by the game.

    The atmosphere of this game .. I know that technical level is at bad level. Lot's of mistakes and bad model of movement. But the feeling of Russia in early 60's, the wind of Stalin's secret services. The movies during breakes are a good idea. Soc-realism.

    The game is pretty good but I'm having graphic issues running it on a new system with 11.6 drivers. It says to install the ones on the disk but uh, I don't think my card came out in 2007 (4890)

  1. The glass isn't 'half empty,' it isn't even 'not full.' It's a soundless, hateful asphyxiating void. [Oct 2007, p.74]
  2. Why am I empty, then? Perhaps because this crass, banal, unchallenging belch of a first person shooter has left me that way, groaning and giggling like a mental patient. [Nov 2007, p.72]

    Unfortunately, the graphics just aren't up to snuff, the character models, aside from being horrendous, repeat often and your character moves with all the zip of a drugged elephant.
