I must say well done to the creators of this game. Not often are third-person shooters showered with so much praise. Well this one can certainly join the club.
In a way this game is a cliché with the prison inmate with the bad boy image called upon to save the planet. But who really cares! It might be cliché, but it's still fun! I love the graphics of this game. There is so much detail put into this, I swear I'm playing a WWII game. How they have managed to detail a planet on the brink of destruction I will never know.
The enemy, the Locust Horde are displayed magnificently in this game. They might seem as rebels without a cause, but they are deadly and have come to play. I love the different variations the player has to be pitted against, including Beserkers, Krylls and of course, the Lord of the Locust, General RAAM.
The only thing that disappointed me was the fact Private Carmine and Lieutenant Kim were killed off so early in the game, not a lot of time in between their deaths. I mean, Carmine might seem to be a expendable asset but he still deserves a lengthy stint in the game. It's the same in Gears of War 2, with his brother, Ben, being killed early in the game. Their story lines are not clearly explained and I think the creators decided to kill them off quickly to make up for this error.
