A Fresh Step Back From FPS

Reviewed by nightcrawlerfn on January 05, 2009  |  report this review

Two main reasons why I liked this game were the parkour aspects as well as the new genre twist. When we think of first person, the first thought is guns, guns, guns. It was nice to see a first person game where the guns were taken out of focus and became more of a liability than an asset. ME took away the concept of fighting and killing and replaced them with moving and fleeing. My only problem was that, at some points you would be forced to use the clunky combat system. However, the story is captivating and the simple yet appealing color scheme is refresing because nowadays all you see is gray. It actually made my heart skip a beat when I turned my vision just in time to see a train run me over. Overall, not the best game but a pretty good one: 4.0 of 5 -- translation: B --
