Pros
- Eh, it's something new to play.
- NPCs that swear like sailors! w00p!
- Massive bloody chunks and splotches when you shotgun somebody in the chest - juicy!
- Severed heads rolling around on the floor like bloody soccer balls - funny!
- Desperately forlorn cries of "we can't stop him!" by the bad guys - great for morale!
- Melee button - great for breaking vent shaft covers.
- You can see your booted foot when you look down.
Cons
- Way too easy.
- The storyline makes no sense.
- I can only hold 3 weapons at a time??
- Throwing grenades is awkward... huge delay between pressing the key and the action.
- Can't hear headset/voicemail over sound effects and enemy voices.
- Ladders... yuck. I mean, seriously awful. A new low in FPS ladder navigation.
- Melee button - useless except for breaking vent shaft covers.
- Smoke effects - looks nice, but it slows down firefights because you have to wait until you can see again.
- Scary music stabs... huge cliche.
- A lot of empty/boring rooms to wander through.
Pointless Novelties
- Slow-motion... although it is quite fun to play through the game on "easy" and slow-mo kill everybody.
- Scary ghosts and voices. Ugh.
- Jump kicks... but again, kind of fun to play around with on "easy."
- Storing up medkits... makes it too easy.
Multi-player not reviewed.
