sci-fi

This is a fun game there is not much bad I can say about it has a good story not great but good. Controls could be better and there a few bugs here and there but it's a solid game and fun can't forget that FUN that's all I've got. Almost forgot Henrey Rolins play's mace not sure how he got the job but he does a good job to OK that's all I've got. I think?

Firstly, to rebut the "Deeply Flawed" review, the game is not buggy on Xbox. The problems c_thulhu is describing are related to either his game disc itself, or more likely the Xbox itself (or both). I had similar problems with my first Xbox and game, but exchanged the Xbox and the problems vanished.

The gamer from Detroit sounds like a younger player. This is a mature game for mature players. No game is Halo except Halo. Mace Griffin is a difficult game better suited to experienced player. There are no adjustable difficulty settings. The robot things will go down, but it takes a whole machine gun clip. allthingsdork has a much more accurate take on the game.

One of the challenges of this game is that you can't "run and gun". You need to pick your targets and shoot from cover as much as possible as you are always outnumbered. Advancing is difficult in places because you often have to create your path by exploding something to create bridges or ramps, do a lot of pinpoint jumping, crawl through vents, etc. It frequently is not obvious as to how to get from point A to point B. You have to take time to analyze your environment. The save points are infrequent and far apart. There is a nice variety of weapons to use. The sniper rifle is probably the best I've used in any game. If you want crazy fun in a shooter, play Serious Sam. If you want a real challenge, play Mace Griffin.

This game had great potential, the graphics and sound are awesome. That's really the only positive thing I can say about it. The game seems to be buggy on Xbox. Every once in a while, when you complete an objective, "Objective Completed" flashes acoss the screen. The next objective may not be triggered. Now you've got nothing to do but restart it and hope it lets you move on next time. It will let you eventually if you don't mind repeating the levels over and over. After getting sick of this, I got disgusted and handed it over to my brother to try on his Xbox. The results were the same. Don't waste your money!
