"gta.......WITH ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!"

This is a relatively good game. It has a bunch of solid features, some great features, and some not so great.

Graphics: 6

The graphics for this game aren't terrible, but the arent astounding either. The effects are awesome, but the backround and character designs are lacking. They are detailed, but the details are fuzzy and hard to make out. The weapons are relativly simple, but get the job done. As I said, the effects really stand out with the weapons. They electroshock and the other stuff look phenominal.

Sound: 5

When Crypto's boss, Pox speaks, it is interesting for about the first few sequences, but it get INCREDIBLY ANNOYING afterwards. Also, this was probably just my bad TV, but the voices would sometimes not play, or skip. This was VERY annoying as well. However, the sound of slamming a cop into a tree and zapping some civilians was very satisfying.

Gameplay: 8

Probably the most fun thing in the world is getting in your saucer, using your tractor beam to capture a person, and swinging them around until you hear a resounding CRACK knowing that they have hit a tree. The missions are a bit repetitive, but otherwise incredibly fun. Also, in order to buy upgrades you have to give Pox DNA. You can get this by sucking out peoples brains. The thing is, while you are sucking a brain, you are incredibly vunerable. Although there is an emphasis on the brain sucking aspect, it is really the mini games that nets you some money. But this is all made up by the weapons that totally kick ass. The only thing bad about the weapons is the lack of them. On foot, there are only 4, and in the saucer, only three. It would been nice to have a sort of Rachet and Clank sorta weapon system.

Overall: 8

Good average game, relatively easy. My advice, dont buy it, rent it. Small replay value, but fun while it lasts. I rented it, beat in 5 days. And returned before the week was over. Yea, it is fun to crush humans when your done. But it gets boring after a while.
