Now
you know I'm not big on long reviews, so you know this one will be short.
To start off, if you are familiar with Omikron for the PC, then i'll tell
you this is just about the same game but it looks better, considering
you dont have to have an expensive computer to get it to run. BUT, it's
still the same somewhat mediocre game. This is one of those games that
tries to encompass all the good parts of all genres. Plus, its been compared
to Shenmue but it's no Shenmue. You pretty much get to travel from body
to body in order to to complete the game. Each body to go into has different
capabilities which means you got big guys for fights, little guys for
running and etc. There are a few things that make this game a rental:
1. the controls
are ok for fighting but for picking things up and etc., it can suck. No
analog control.
2. Jumping
from body to body gets boring after awhile when you are just trying to
beat the game.
3. The load
times that are suppose to be short end up being a pain.
So getting
this game just depends on what you want it for. Just rent it and save
your money.
