Extermination

"A excellent mix of MGS and RE."

GAMEPLAY

Its good,faster pace than Resident Evil.You don't need to worry about running out of ammo for your machine gun
because at certain places,there are deposit machines that you can use to withdraw bullets.In other words,the ammo
supply is infinite but only for your standard machine gun.

The weapon system is great,for example you can equip a scope and snipe your way like Solid Snake,then a shotgun or
flamethrower can be fixed into your standard machine gun therefore enabling you to fire machine gun and shot gun
rounds simulataneously.

AUDIO
The music is good too,one of them sounds like a heartbeat and a suspense tune in the background.The other was also
panicky,there is this alien 2 like music when all the leeches suddenly crowded the room.Just beaten the first boss,this
game is more like the movie ''THE THING'' than resident evil.

GAMEPLAY2
You can place the camera to behind the character or 1st person view for accurate aiming.

I just get into this snow area and three gigantic mutated creatures with horns started chasing me ,i evade their blows,ran to a nearby staicase get to the highest point of the building,equip my sniper scope and started releasing rounds on them.That was so fun .These creatures are clever too,when your bullets missed and hit the snow,they'll start running and evading instead of strolling.

The area was so huge,i am having problems remembering which doors that i have not yet open.Some of the areas you have to go back and unlock the door in which the earlier part is not accesible.

GRAPHICS

The graphics potrays atmosphere like THE THING and ALIENS,even the enemies does not look like RE creatures which is a good thing.The character looks cool,infact even better than SolidSnake,the gear and outfits looks very detail.Even the smallest thing like your weapon's scope can be seen.What's the coolest is that when you mount a shotgun on the machine gun plus radar device,the weapon's look like some kind of high tech weaponry.

Overall the graphics are good,smooth and detailed.

REPLAYABILITY

This tooks longer than MGS and RE,without help ,i have been going for 4 days for i enjoy my time improvising the gameplay whereby i won't use the life-ups too often.

Later part of the game,you'll encounter aliens using machine guns. Infact they carry 2!

Its super cool ,just like MGS,the gun battle is tense and dense with bullets .You cannot fight them in close space,you have to run and search an area where you can hide and take cheap shots.

In one place there are 3 of them each carrying 2 machine guns and firing them both at same time,you can imagine the intensity of 6 guns shooting at a hiding hero,waiting for them to finish their rounds and exchanging fire.

To get to a good hiding spot,sometimes you have to climb boxes and jump ledges in the midst of raining bullets.You can also dive and roll on the floor to dodge a enemy blows.

What pure action!
