| Life is like a box of chocolates... Registered Member #14 Joined: Sat Dec 20 2003Location: Ontario, Canada Posts: 2646 | Well, finished the campaign. Took 10.5 hours on normal. And thats dying a few times. Stealth is definietely the key to this game. Ending is LOT easier than the first 2 releases - just have big ass guns at the end (yank the turrets and use them). Graphic wise its runs better and cleaner than the other 2, even though its still NOT DirectX11 as they claimed. Apparently the patch for DX11 is due very soon. It runs on high with an ATI 5770 with no problem. I did find some annoying glitches in the sound where it goes all crackley at times - they were supposed to fix that in the first patch, but it could be a sound card driver issue (typical Creative NEVER gets their drivers right). The game uses the same commands as practically all other games so its very easy to game - and you can change the keys easily to suit your preference. You do fight aliens in cool mechanical armour, but there are lots of human guys to take out as well. No long weird alien floating scene as in the first one. You do get a number fo cut scenes where you can't do anything and the game controls you. Also, during the game every alien you kill you see little "sparkles" around the body. If you pick them up you can use this nano points to add powerups to the suit. A glitch here is to make sure you USE them - I found that I lost all my points I collected in one segment when it shifted to the next segment in the game - EXTREMELY annoying. There are toys to use (hummers, light tanks) and some good weapons. The suit controls are slightly different in that you select heavy armour mode or stealth mode - speed is always there (although it takes energy as well) The energy levels recharge fast, so its a good idea to hide when low and recharge then come out fighting. All in all a good game, although on normal its not super challenging - just a good solid fight. As stated the graphics are better, but the gameplay is very similar to the other releases - just different locations. Unless you're super keen to try, I'd wait until it comes down in price (if it ever does). I haven't tried the multiplayer at all, so no review there. | ||
