People on Gamespot like it alright http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/stran ... index.html , but say it's derivative. I take that to mean it's in the 'Halo'/'Max Payne' mold. It seems like all the games coming out are like that, they seem like ported console games to me. The last game I played that I thought was real good was Bioshock.

I played a little bit of it. Looks good and you can break any part of the scenery. Reccommended if you like John Woo movies and Max Payne. It's a meager 5 hours long though.

Yeah, that's the big stinger. I like it with Dos games where you get many hours of fun for only a few megabytes :) Anway, I might still try out the rip at some stage.

Picked up the ps3 version in a bargain bin for $20 Australian . A good short shooting fest but graphics were a letdown - maybe the pc version is better.
