  • story90 mentions

    The game's story is criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, with players noting that it primarily consists of missions without a cohesive narrative. While some missions, particularly the final stealth mission, are highlighted as enjoyable, the overall campaign is deemed too short and underdeveloped, leaving players wanting a more structured and engaging storyline. Many reviewers express a desire for additional missions and a richer narrative experience to enhance replayability.

    • “I have played the storyline several times over the 1.5 years I own this game; it keeps the fun it has in it.”
    • “I personally greatly enjoyed all of the missions; I do not mind playing bad guys in any way, I actually like it as some kind of refreshment between all of the games/movies which only show us the good guys succeeding.”
    • “Story: there is no story other than the things I could figure out myself.”
    • “Overall: 6.5/10 the game is alright, needs a story.”

  • gameplay50 mentions

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of creativity and frustration, with mechanics that initially show promise but ultimately fall short. Players appreciate the immersive graphics and sound, but criticize the clunky shooting and reloading mechanics, basic AI, and linear gameplay that can feel repetitive. Overall, while some find enjoyment in the experience, many express a desire for improvements to enhance the overall gameplay quality.

    • “The creativity of the programmers in working within the confines of what was a new genre when they wrote it - they just found some mechanics that work amazingly well.”
    • “The gameplay is really fun; the planes flying by are pretty cool and well detailed. I would recommend it 8-10, it could be higher when they fix the scope issue, as it does get a bit annoying.”
    • “Very immersive, great graphics and sound, and I like the gameplay.”
    • “The shooting mechanics are awful; you have to hold the sniper rifle more than a foot in front of your face since you can't really see clearly through the scope if you hold it too close, and there's no way to stabilize the gun, apart from putting your physical arm underneath the gun hand, which doesn't look or behave naturally in-game.”
    • “Sadly it uses an extremely clunky teleportation mechanic to do this, and for the early part of it you just teleport right behind each enemy, who is always conveniently facing away from you, and shoot them point blank.”
    • “The AI is very basic, the gameplay is basic and runs poorly.”
