"A truly fun alien blasting game!"

Welcome to the world of Marathon Infinity...hostile aliens are trying to take over, and you, an armored marine, are there to stop them... Arm yourself with about 8 different guns and as many levels as you want...you can download custom maps as well as make them if you are good enough at the program, for endless amounts of scenarios!

Gameplay-10
You can download and make as many maps as you wish for endless fun and entertainment! You can also get physics models to change the shapes of your ammo, how would you like to shoot shotgun shells from a magnum? Shoot BOBS (humans with an ocular implant) from a rocket launcher, shoot a hunter's energy from whatever weapon you choose, fire 5 shots at once from your grenade launcher, if you like what I just said, you will like to make physics models with ANVIL, a program included with the game. I can only get them to work with some maps though. You can create your own maps and physics models, so, your possibilities are endless! Create and/or download! And it has network play! Up to 8 over a LAN I believe, I ain't an expert on networks, but I know it is 8 max. Want to try this game out, you can download commercial demos and try it yourself! 3 levels for the trial demo version. Net play includes Every Man for Himself, King of the Hill, and Kill the Man with the Ball.

Control-6
Rather easy, but it takes a lot of keys to control your character fully, and can take a little while to get a comfortable set of controls for you.

Sound-9
Realistic, your guns sound fairly realistic, and you can hear alien chatter and the roving of cyborgs to alert you that there is an approaching enemy, and the speech of the BOBS...But hear that groaning sound when you go through that long hallway, the explosions in the background, and other sounds to program for realistic play!

Playability-8
your character cannot jump for one thing, but there is no need for it, controls take a lot of getting used to also. and you can save your game at a pattern buffer when you want to take a break. You can also download the ''Plus Key Saves Anywhere'' Patch to save anywhere.

Replay Value-10
You can make your own maps, and your own physics models for endless play possibilities!

Buy? Try a friends? Try a demo? Delete quickly?
You might wanna try a demo or a friends copy first, because it isn't fun if you can't control the game. Keyboard skill is needed for this game.
