Two words; F*ckin' AWESOME! I just completed the 2nd act and boy there is just so much action going on, it's hard to keep a tab of things, a trademark Platinum Games style. The pace picks up after the first act. It's very close to Gears of War 2, only that much more faster in terms of action. One of the mission (Darkness) in Act 1 reminded me of Chapter 5 (Roadblock) of Gears of War 2, where you have to fight off tickers in a dark tunnel. It looked exactly the same. They could have improved on the enemy variety and the bosses, but it's still fun to shoot the crap out of 'em. The voice acting is all pent-up-cocky-ass dialogues. Character animation is top notch, but the storyline is abysmal. Textures are a bit fuzzy and frame rates are a bit shaky. This game could have made a good use of co-op, considering we have a whole battalion of troops backing us up most of the time. You have a good deal of arsenal to tear those bots a new one. Upgrades to the weapons just means enhancing their ammo carrying capacity. Overall, I definitely feel it's a very refined sci-fi shooter. With it's break sweat pacing, it's hard to miss out on this title. So grab yourselves a copy ASAP.
