Mediocre FPS with annoying mechanics

The following notions are on the basis of the second easiest difficulty setting: 1) First I thought it was buggy, as the enemies kept spawning in odd places. But then I realized that the game actually intentionally spawns enemies behind your back. 2) The enemies' reaction speed even on the second easiest is insane. The moment they turn the corner, they are already shooting at you, with pin-point accuracy. And the game has a tendency to make cheap surprise attacks, so no matter how good you are, you WILL get shot. 3) Sniper rifle is pretty useless in regular combat. It only kills with one shot if you make a head-shot. But regular rifles quite often also one-shot-kills with head shots, and they're much faster and even have auto-fire. 4) I think there was one stealth mission, but now that I think about it, it wasn't really stealth, just sparse enemy placement so nobody ever got alerted. 5) The length of the game is quite short, but I'm glad I got it finished fast. 6) The lack of saving system breaks the enjoyment. You have to finish each mission in one sitting. But the enemies get harder the further you go in each mission, and the cheap surprise attacks often lead to deaths at the very end of the mission. So you'll have to replay the whole mission. 6) Story is gringe, and some of the "transitions" feel a little rushed. 7) The levels are linear. There are basically no alternative paths whatsoever. All in all: would not recommend.

Forgotten / unknown for a reason

This FPS is an interesting blend of military shooter (like Soldier of Fortune or classic CoD) and arcade shooting. The problem is there's nothing particularly interesting here aside from Steve Blum's surprise performance. The shooting isn't as satisfying as most games out there, even at the time, you're limited to weapons given to you at the beginning of each stage, and the shotgun is one of the least satisfying weapons in the game. If they had Soldier of Fortune violence or BLACK destruction or Resistance weapons then it could have stood out a bit. But instead, it's basic and bare.

Enjoyable start, rubbish 2nd half

This is less a run-and-gun shooter and more a tactical shooter where you peek every corner and work from room to room in small steps. There are no checkpoints so when you die you'll have to restart the whole level again. For the most part this is fine but after level 16 (of 25) i couldn't take it anymore and used cheats ("firstlaw" for godmode, "madminute" for ammo). Unfair enemy spawn placements and clown-cabinets in the second half of the game make this ruin the pacing that was great in the first half of the game. Its an okayish game. took me around 6-8 hours
