The levels themselves were also very well done, although a little hit and miss for me. Guess that just goes to show that the developers did a pretty good job. "That's so depressing," says Amy, "there they were just talking and having a life two seconds ago and now they're gone." She only stopped crying after I convinced her that they were, in fact, just polygonal make-ups and not real people. My roommate (who although she doesn't play games, does sit down and watch every now and again) was quite disturbed to see that a couple of guards that had been talking and strolling along about there own business were suddenly lying dead on the floor. Animations are fluid and fun to watch for the most part, especially some of the idle animations that bring the soldiers to life. Lips move separate from the teeth behind them creating a nice lip-synching that isn't perfect but certainly adds to the effect. The textures used on the models and all throughout the game are top notch. The models are some of the best I've seen to date. First off the look of the game is really, really fantastic.

There's a lot of tried and true level design and gameplay here without ever really taking a leap into new territory like No One Lives Forever did.īut one thing that can be said about this game is that its atmosphere is pretty darn good. There's nothing really new and exciting with the single player aspect of the game that makes it challenging or really all that interesting. And that's part of the problem I suppose. Anybody that has ever played an FPS and gotten through it won't have an incredibly tough time with this game.
