Forum Overview :: Steam :: final verdict: definitely the budget title purchase of 2011

[quote name="sdroa jists"]what I especially liked was how, despite giving you like 10 fucking weapons, you only need to stick with a favorite set (mine by the end was the rocket launcher/proximity mine and the electricplasma mortar/smartgun combos). they really just give you 2 weapons that have 5 modes each, so you can easily switch between the two and then just as easily switch between firing modes. pretty much throughout the game you are tearing shit up, blowing up entire rooms full of shit non stop until the place is cleared out which then allows you the time to explore and find the nano capsules for your upgrades. the start of the game has you shooting at ambient doodads like electrical equipment or, naturally, the everpresent red exploding barrel. they then pack all kinds of objects like these all over the place, in all different shapes and sizes. after you level up your gear, you can ignore the environmental junk and just shoot fuckers in the face with explosions, the point being that there is a seamless transistion between "action packed opening with only a machine gun" and "final boss fight featuring your guns having auto tracking bullets that travel through walls, the most seamless laser guided rocket launcher in gaming history (it's pretty fucking amazing) and the best proximity mine fun since fuckin goldeneye"[/quote]
