What a disappointment! - By: Mezzer, 17 Jul 2010 
When I looked at other reviews & the game description I got really excited about getting the game but after playing it for at least 2 hours I realised that this game is a real disappointment.First of all the first level is so long I got bored of going through the same sort of scenery over & over again.Secondly the controls are absolutely rubbish, to aim the gun you have to press r3!!??
Overall I would give this game a 4 out of ten.

An entertaining first person shooter but not the most original of the breed.
This game has received a lot of good reviews & perhaps I've just come to it a little too late to appreciate it fully as the first of a new generation. Don't get me wrong there is nothing bad about this game, I just had the feeling that I had seen it all before.
You take the rolein this game of your standard space marine type grunt landing on an alien planet as part of a large invasion force & there are some impressive cut scenes showing this.
Combat can be complete mayhem & the early battles are no exception as you join your squad fighting across a mixture of alien landscapes from run down cities to minining colonies & rocky barrens.
The weapons are a standard mix of assault rifles, handguns, sniper rifles & machine guns but none of them really feel right. I prefer guns that are simulated to sound & to kick back so that they feel powerful, rather than a carefully controlled point & shoot. One thing about the guns though that is a nice touch is that throughout there is a choice as to whether to use your own sides guns ( assuming you can get enough ammo ) or pick up the enemies ( which are generally inferior but have more ammo available ).
Note that although the multiplayer game is highly rated for this game its not what I buy games for. There is one interesting aspect to the multiplayer thoughin that it can be played one player against computer drones for practice which is nice to see.
Overall this is an enjoyable little game, slightly outclassed by more recent FPS releases but still worth pickiing up none the less.
Not great, but enjoyable - By: Mr H, 14 Apr 2010 
If you enjoy a full is action packed shoot em up then this game is definitely worth a play . Lots of Helghast 'soldiers'in a dark alien world environment. Not that much choicein the way of enemy tactical attack, just hoards of them time after time, getting quicker to movein on you as the game progresses. The landscape is finished nicely but is often Sev (the player you represent) lurkingin amongst shadows & darkness. Weapon choice exists but not massive. I enjoyed it, but won't play again or keep, it will be tradedin for something else.
very frustating entertainment - By: Bjgannon, 25 Mar 2010 
I have just come to very near completing this game. Once i do i will smash the thing over my PS3. The difficulty of completing certain levels only leads to complete frustration...so were's the funin that? If you get past 'Versari palace' at the end of the game with ease..kudos to you. The game is quite repetitive with every level being hords of enemimiesin a handful of guises. Not very muchin the way of smart weaponry like MW2 either. The graphics are rich but very dull & samey ( i would of liked at least a few more colours than just black & grey). I didn't give much attention also to the online mode as after 20 minutes i realised it was vastly inferior to MW2. It just felt like a lot of users packed into a space like sardines trying blast one another. the respawning is teriible too. However if really difficult games is your cup of tea then its definately up your street.

the controls are awful, the story is poor, characters are bland & the whole game is pure trash
