Good game but there could be more to it
I never played the original but this is a straight-out shooter with no other skills needed such as hacking etc. but you do need to plan your way through the battles a bit I did enjoy it and if you like that kind of thing it keeps you absorbed, with a good set of weapons (although some kind of bug meant i couldn't use alternate fire which was frustrating) It's so straightforward it doesn't even have a crouch function which at times is annoying but not a huge issue. Having played a lot of FPS games I was able to beat it on 'Insane' level, although switched down the difficulty level (something you can mercifully do at any time) for most of the boss fights as they're a big step up and not much fun for me. I really liked the look and feel of the environment with the earliar parts in particular not just channeling buy copying Blade Runner to a large extent. It made me wish there was maybe just a bit more to the game though - not just the length but maybe having some hacking from time to time - there's a little bit fo problem-solving but only on a certain level. What is good is the amount of stuff you can blow up to help combat enemies - you quickly learn to scout an area out to see where those pionts are and you can even move exposive barrels around to be better positioned for when those enemies come at you - later on there is some industrial machinery into which you can lead them and then watch them get crushed. There could perhaps have been one or two more enemy types although the game mixes them up a fair deal. Through the game you get to power up weapons and armour and at the end it allows you to play the whole campaign through again with everything you've accumulated, which is a nice way of adding some replayability.
