    A great game with surprisingly good controls for an FPS game that you play with a gamepad.

    The game’s single player mode is short . . . really short. As good as the story is and the action heavy and hot, you’ll find that the game can be beaten fairly quickly.

    The single player is ok. It is in the multiplayer that this game shines. Good arena layouts and interesting weapons.

    The Multiplayer mode was bad, but the singleplayer mode was truly awful. I was really looking forward to playing this game, but just found myself bored after a short while. The gameplay was uninteresting and controls, weapons, and environments left a lot to be desired.… Expand
