I do not usually care for this type of game unless there is something interesting going on. In the case of this game it is the fact you are going against an army of monsters that are coming from within the earth. So that right there means it will not be the typical shooter or bland army game. So you have your super tough soldier you control, released from a prison because at this stage in the conflict the military needs all the help they can get. So you now must battle your way through the locust horde to reach various mission objectives all with the sole purpose of destroying the opposition. Fear not, though as you have other soldiers on your side, helping you with their firepower as well. You also get a vehicle to drive and plenty of weapons, though I really loved the default weapon best. A machine gun with a chainsaw bayonet. The sniper rifle was also cool. Plenty of monsters to shoot too, as you have your basic foot soldiers, your giant nearly indestructible monsters, bat type creatures that avoid light and others. So even though usually this type of game is not for me, this one was rather fun and exciting.
