The lights are on
This game is amazing. It delivered on evry front it promised to. Unlike many shooters today the gunfighting is realisticly short. By that I mean you die fairly quickly if your not careful. With the addition to characters suh as medics ans repairmen the gameplay is deeper than most others of this type out there. The maps are fun and engaging with many different routes to take opening p the possibility of flanking. Also the slow progression from the 64 to 256 player matches is a great way for anyone new to the game to get acclimated to the controls and timing.
the title sums this game up. The developers did a good job at mixing two of the best games in the industry and not hiding it. The beginning of the game was pretty choppy though I believe something about two refresh rates in the game was mentioned somewhere. This might be the cause of my falling almost every time I jumped, but luckily the checkpoints are pretty good at keeping you close to where you need to be.
This game had alot of potential but, it didn't get there. The main issue i had was the health of your character. Any time you were seen it was game over restart from a checkpoint that was usually too far away. Of course as you go through you can upgrade her health but you need more health early on when you're getting used to the game instead of later. The collectibles were a cool side quest mechanic but still came a little short. if your thinking about buying this game, rent it first then make up your mind.
The games are simply amazing. I played through both on my ps2 multiple times. Now they're back. let me tell you I didn't think they could get any more awesome than when they came out. But I was wrong, beautiful brutal kills enhanced by hi-def, a score that still blows me away. But the thing I love the most, that's right trophies. This alone sold me on the collection, decimating everything in your path and getting rewarded for it! Now that is how you revamp an old game. Congrats to the people who thought this up. You get a shiny gold star!!!!!!!!
