    The story has been used to make a highly entertaining game and once you get involved in the action you only want to blast all the aliens and save the planet.

    I would easily put it above "Mace Griffin" and "Return to Castle Wolfenstein."... Most definitely one of the top FPS games on the PS2. [Nov 2003, p.140]

    It lacked the punch that you need to have to compete in a post Halo, post Ubi-Soft FPS world. Definitely rent it first.

    The story is much the same as the game itself, and while there are moments when it seems it could be picking up, it shoots itself in the foot. Normal enemies that take full clips to dispatch, 'puzzles' that make Doom look like a brainteaser... the potholes are all too common and apparent. [Nov 2003, p.127]

    This game is great. Good graphics, great gameplay, awsome story. My only problem is that it is too short and easy. If you thought this game was too hard you must really suck. The save system didnt bother me since I flew through the game. There are cheats for you who think that there arent, you just have to beat the game on hard and get high stats for some of the cheats. Im also a warhammer 40k player and I play Tau. P.S. I would like to see a battle field version of warhammer 40k.… Expand

    Bit of a choker here. The enemies take way too much ammo to drop (a space marine, fine, but a lame-o imperial guard taking an entire magazine to floor him? Come ON!). That, a lack of cheats, and a nightmare save system sank it a bit for me. On the plus side, you play Tau (insted of the manditory man versus the aliens) and the character's kinda cool. Back to the downs, why the heck did they have to cram all this into a dayspan? They could have made it last a lot longer and given you different races for different levels!

    Still, for mindless plasma-slinging blow-up-the-baddies time killing, this game's alright.    … Expand

    Horrible graphics, tepid AI, bad map design, bad mission planning. This game I had high hopes for until I started seeing screenshots that were bad. I am a zealous Tau player and even I saw too many things done wrong by JoWood. Guess they used all their talent on Soldner instead. Disappointing.… Expand
