I like the game, but I like adventure games. If you don't really play a lot of point and click adventures or HOGs, and are not used the gameplay loop, to there might be a good chance you'll hate it. The story is campy and cheesy but that's to be expected from this kind of game. Prepare for logic to be thrown out the window, I can't count how many hacksaws, hammers and screwdrivers I've used only once per puzzle and then apparantly thrown away. It's a funny thought to imagine that the protagonist went into an abandoned house and started piecing together pieces of a toy train track to get something out of a wall. The graphics are really good, and suit the style of the game. In game it's kind of a mix between 3D pre rendered and 2D painted which makes it look distinct. But cutscenes are pre rendered 3D. Both seem to complement each other.
This game is a throwback to when shooters were very gritty and had choppy graphics but in a futuristic style that is reminiscent of Akira. The guns vary from normal looking (Assault Rifle) to ridiculous (Red Riot). The enemy AI is almost completely scripted but that adds to it's personality. The story is quite good and has interesting characters that will talk to you remotely. It's long as well and has multiple story arcs and endings throughout the game which speaks to it's replayability. Be sure to save the game when you are given dialogue choice. I wish Monolith had made a sequel to this game instead of pushing the FEAR franchise so much.
