The story emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, suggesting that perseverance can lead to unexpected outcomes. While the narrative is simplistic and serves as a backdrop for the gameplay, it lacks depth and engagement, with missions feeling repetitive and uninspired after an initial peak of enjoyment. Overall, the story serves more as a vehicle for the action rather than a compelling narrative experience.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “The gameplay peaks at level 2 - where I will admit I had some fun, if only for a short while - but the missions thereafter are lackluster and void of any actual challenge (except the final level where a guard is stood atop a staircase, shotgun barrel poised to shoot the moment you poke your head up).”
- “To put it simply, the graphics and of course the quality are much lower, but it's like a cheap hitman game, where we kill our targets and as we kill, we move on to other targets with the missions we get from our computer.”
- “The game has a lot of problems, but I didn't really notice them while running from mission to mission.”
