I'd say it was in between. Nice graphics, decent gameplay, but almost no replay value.

Lol, Well I voted that it was awesome because I wouldn't say it was terrible... like Force Flow, I would say it is in between, swinging towards awesome.

I found it a bit repetative at times, but the graphics are awesome. It freaks you out a bit at times, and dammit, why does it have to be so dark! he he Hope you have good gfx capabilities!

Not trying to change your mind, but I found FarCry to be more enjoyable personally. I am going to get back into Doom3 when I finish that.

Just my 10 cents worth.

Any game with that much hype and requirements should absolutely blow your socks off... It did not...

It has good graphics and all, but it too linear for my liking. I don't really care for the weapons and multiplayer either. It'll definitely keep you on the edge of your seat though.

I only played the demo so i can't say much on this, but for what i saw i am not in any rush to go buy it in the near future. If you included a inbetween vote option, im sure most people would vote for that mainly because that is where it stands for most. Most of my friends agree its not great, but its worth playing now or then. Oh and i do agree with Freefall, it will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. Great graphics too, i was very impressed with that. Personally i am going to wait on it for a while, see if the price drops down some, maybe not even get it and go for some other games that are comming out in the near future.

I think you should do what i did, download the demo and give it a try. If you want to continue playing, go for it, but if not you save some cash.

I say awesome. It was definitely a good experience. It needs to be played in surround sound in the dark.

I wouldn't say it was awesome. But it was fun, and I'm glad that I played it. Like force said, very nice too look at, good gameplay, but it's not a game that you're going to play over and over again.

I'd say fun but uninspiring... there are better games out there.
I'd give it 7.5/10, so I didn't vote.
