"Blood, Monsters, big guns, what more do you want?"

This game is a multi-player FPS (First Person Shooter). There are so many characters to choose from in the character selection screen. The game is not fun in the single player option. The story is very dull, all you do is get into matches against different opponents. After you beat a certain amount of opponents you get to battle the boss. The game is only fun if you play it will a bunch of your friends. The game also supports on-line multi-player mayhem.

~~Game Play (8/10)~~

The game play is really fast. You always have to be on your toes, you never know who is going to pop out of the corner. The only way to win is to run around and shoot anything that moves. You can not use stealth in this game, for the reason you will die very fast. The replay value is not the best either, just because of the controls. The controls are so hard to remember, they are very confusing.

~~Controls (3/10)~~

The controls are tremendously confusing. It is so hard to control your character. You have to change the controller settings before you start you playing. Since this game supports the keyboard some of the preset configurations have keyboard commands, make sure you pick the right configuration.

~~Graphics (10/10)~~

The graphics are incredible. The developers put a lot of detail into the environment and even te weapons. The guns shoot without any lag or slowing down. The environments are greatly detailed, like one level has lava. When you fall into the lava the lava splashes up. They used some sort of texture mapping but the walls look realistic. If you buy a game for just graphics this is a game for you.

~~Summary~~

THE GOOD POINTS:

1.) Plenty of characters
2.) Supports on-line multi-player action
3.) Characters, weapons, and environments are greatly detailed
4.) Gameplay is fast and intense

THE BAD POINTS:

1.) Lacks variety of weapons
2.) Controls are sluggish and confusing
3.) Poor replay value
4.) You have to run around like an idiot to win

~~Final Recommendation~~

I think you should buy this game. This game is good for a party or even a brother or sister. Another reason to buy this game is for the online multi-player, I think everyone will have fun with that option.
