Activision took a big risk by remaking for next gen consoles one of the best shooters of a generation and adapting it to a more online friendly multilayer shooter. The graphics have been improved and make the game look pretty good overall. The story is linear to a fault and the controls are identical to the Call of Duty franchise.
Overall this game is a good throwback and will let you get in touch with the 1990's style game with a feel of the 2000's in terms of the visuals. It is definitely not a first tier shooter by any stretch of the imagination but defintely fits in along side the second tier shooters like Bodycount, Homefront, and Medal of Honor.
I had high hopes for this game and the flawed multiplayer ruined that aspect of the game, and the fact that my character is so much tougher than the AI's it ruins the challenge that the N64 version brought. Plus, witht the auto aim I found myself walking into a room with 20 guys and just ran through the middle and sprayed and took them all out. Hopefully, Activision will patch some of the flaws in the multiplayer but this is very unlikely especially with the release date of Modern Warfare 3 just a few days away.
I would give this game a solid 7 and its fun but not worth the $50 it will run you to purchase this game.
Huh, I liked your take on this. I don't think I'll get it. Good post!
