no seriously digi LOL, im curious someone was mentioning it, and ive looked on gamespy and its coming up with a half life type game...... just wondering if im mixing up the games here !

I played the demo. The gameplay is pretty bad, and the controls aren't default for a first person shooter. The repetitive noise you make when you come out of water can get quite irritating.

Its built on the Unreal engine, so it would be rather difficult to say it doesn't come through on the graphics end.

I'd have to play the full retail version to go more in depth, but it doesn't look as if this game will be very good. It has almost the exact same plot as the Bourne Identity, so I would take off points simply due to lack of originality.

I am only speculating on the demo, the retail version may provide a better experience but the demo plays quite a significant role in the decision process of whether or not to buy the game.

The previews say it is based along a Total-Recall plot, so that's a bonus in my book, I'm gonna check out the demo.

Ahh come on this game ain't so bad

Been going trough the single player and must say that it has been quite a thrill, well that is untill it started rebooting my comp, seems that there is a known bug with one of the Cutscenes that causes the computer to reboot

anyway it has already been fixed and the patch is on it's way according to the official forums, so I'm waiting for that to continue playing.
But from what I've seen so far the story is quite good, and the cutscenes/intro are very well done, maybe a bit too good if you compare it to the gameplay itself coz it makes the leveldesign look a bit dull, still fighting urself trough those levels for a nice cutscene as reward has kept me going

All cutscenes are done on the engine itself btw beying CloakNT and not the Unreal engine as stated above.
The sound effects are very nice btw, game uses eax3 and that can be well heard, also the music feels very well suited with the gameplay.
All the weapons are based on their realistic counterparts so that's a another big plus in my case. I've also been trying the multiplayer side a bit, the mission based game mode looks alright but I'm no big fan of the weapons buying system, I bet this will bring you another famous mod to mind

Deathmatch & ctf mode offer weapons pickup type gameplay but let's face it plain deathmatch is getting a little boring over the years so skip that and ctf only offers one map atm wich is very red... it's layout is nice tho

I didn't try neither of the demos myself coz of the filesize and my lame isp, but I've been hearing alot of bad comments of'm. I don't think they really justify the game since my friends who played the game here liked it too so far.

Anyway take a look at the official site and judge for urself if it would be something you should play or not

I for one am planning on finishing the single player part, but I don't think the multiplayer will keep me going.

it would have to be a pretty crappy fps for me not to like, so i just went and checked it out at gamespy, the thing looks pretty interesting to me. certainly can't be any worse than "red faction II" which i'm playing right now!
