    A technically sound game that exudes banality.

    While it's cool to watch John get wacked in one of the nice CG cutscenes, the actual six hours of gameplay leaves much, much, much to be desired. [Feb 2004, p.82]

    Boring and sub-par gameplay, combined with bland visuals and sounds, creates a gaming experience that should be missed. More time was needed fine tuning things such as game mechanics, visuals, and audio.

    A shoddy game that could have been something. This game has a very rushed feeling to it. The controls are not perfected, the aiming is way off, the AI is a push over, and the mission structure is laughable.

    I liked Dawn of Fate, but this game makes DoF look like a game of the year winner.

"man...I gotta pay my bills because I spent all my money on ass-ramming dildos this month.. lets make a game in a few hours using this game engine I found in the dumpster behind atari!"… Expand
