Rating 5/10
Shooting noisy creatures in a desert.
This game has not captured my interest and I have noticed that even the player, my boyfriend, becomes easily bored with it.
I don't think it's a boring game overall. There's just not much to enjoy about it when you're not actually playing it. It's desolate and apocalyptic backdrop doesn't make it very pretty to look at to start with. The bad guys are all weird variations of zombies or goblins that flop about pathetically on the screen and make horrible and pointless noises. All the human characters are masked or deformed, except for the occasional curvaceous and scantily clad female.
The game seems to be all about wandering about in the desert or bunkers killing these monsters. The graphics I think are meant to be a bit cheesy so they're kind of chunky and unclever. Most of the time all there is to see is angular rocks and ground.
Not having actually played this game I can't of course comment on how fun it is to play. I'm sure it has plenty of fans. But I hate it being played in my presences even in the background simply because of the awful sounds it makes. Aside from the squawking of baddies in their death throes, it has repetitive and extremely irritating soundbites of dialogue that I really get sick of hearing out of context. Reoccuring characters have only one line which they stubbornly recite over and over.
Aside from that my experience of this game is limited to my boyfriend's occasional complaints about glitches and ambiguous gameplay, but he persists, so maybe it's not so bad when the action distracts you from the audio.
My advice: don't buy this for his birthday unless you plan on not being present.
