    this game sucks plain and simple. I'll start off by the most important thing in a first person shooter - multiplayer - it doesn't work out all. I've literally spend 3 hours trying to get a match to start with no luck. Everyone online is upset and complaining that they just wasted 60 dollars. and if you like single player and a great story, don't buy this game at all. Don't even rent it. I beat this game in about 2-4 hours. which is no where near enough for a 60 dollar purchase. The most exciting thing through the whole campaign is.....well NOTHING. Its just god awful. The storyline is awful, the gameplay is awful, and the AI is awful. It is probably one of the worst games of All time. I'm pissed and i want my money back. Expand

    Oh god, what an abomination. It's probably the worst game ever, making Call of Juarez: The Cartel look like a triple A. It looks bad, Bodycount's AI is nonexistent, online play is broken or simply doesn't work. Stay away from this.

    We all know that when the mechanics of an FPS don't work, the game falls apart, Well, in BODYCOUNT that's exactly the problem, and that isn't the only issue. The game's destructive shooting aspect is probably the best thing BODYCOUNT has to offer. Bullets always fire with satisfying ferocity and the sound design is quite decent. But man there are a hell of a lot of bugs and problems that disappointed me and even frustrated me. First and foremost was the AI. Often times they'll stand around, oblivious to your existance, but other they are ruthless, ungodly so. Grenades will be thrown to insta-deaths frequently and you can die with such little damage taken. More annoying is that simple tropes and staples of modern FPS's don't really apply. No Iron sights, little cover from enemy fire and generally nothing that makes you feel like a badass. Couple this with eye bleeding graphics, hand holding mission objectives, a hammy excuse for a plot and repetition then you have one of the most unpolished games of the year. Admirable as some of the features are, BODYCOUNT is just too unforgiving and repetitive to engage you over the long haul. Expand

    I played this game on release. It was fun. Finished the game and was still left confused by the lack of completion. It was like sonic the hedgehog was given a gun in a casino and told to shoot for free booze. This game is incomprehensible. Yet on the other hand it looks great and is completely addictive like a slots machine. Sound is great. If only the team who wrote 'Brink' got into this you would have a smash. Online play was non existent when i played, cant imagine the traffic increasing. Expand

    This game fails in everything!!! I highly recommend NOT buying this game... This isn't even 10 bucks worth for a 4 hours campaign full of pain... Worst shooter ever so far!

    This game is underrated and misunderstood, I'm not saying it deserves a 9 or even an 8 but at least a 7. It's great fun on a basic level and has a retro feeling to it. It reminds me of the good old fun rail shooter arcade games of the early 90 's.

    The game is unfinished. You go to one place (similar) to another place ( similar) with no reason or plot, they left out the cut scenes and forgot to put in some sort of story. There are just 3 type of environment recycled over and over. The graphics is in LOW RESOLUTION, I'm not joking if I say that it looks a PS2 game. The mechanics are broken and unpolished. You can run over from check point to check point without shooting most of the time. It's a really bad game, don't play it don't rent it, it is really a waste of time and power energy. Expand

    El juego es una apuesta distinta al juego normal y plano que mas vende. Para los que se quejan que no hay innovación y juegan siempre las mismas was, prueben este juego.

    All in all, Bodycount provided a few hours of diversion, but I didn't get much more than that out of it. I certainly won't be dusting off this title out of my collection to play more.
