This is a Fun game to play Involving story and good controls for the Most part. I do have to say I dont enjoy games that give the enemy unlimited ammo and the player is given a very limited supply of the same. Even when you have all the Ammo you can carry you will run out very soon and have to find more either laying around or buy it. Which i had to take a point from the rating because of. I also had a Problem with the way the Hacking was done even with Skills for hacking maxed many of the things to hack were so hard that I would give up because you not only have to place the correct pipes in the right place but before you can do that you have to uncover the pieces and the more pieces you have to uncover the Faster the time goes by That Makes it not fun to do especially when you get damaged for not doing it and once you start you have to continue with it either you succede or you get hurt badly. That also lost points from me which is why i gave the game a 7

I did not enjoy what I played of this. It is way too reliant on the 'you can hear the bad guys but can't tell where they are until they jump up in your face so that's creepy, right?' mechanic, and also the 'turn off the lights right before throwing in a hundred bad guys'. You know why I bought the big spiffy tv and why we all paid for the consoles with the beefy new video chips? Because we want to be able to SEE our games. If your primary mechanics are designed to make it so I can't see anything, it gets annoying. Dead space did the same thing, but I made it through that, I guess because there were enough other mechanics at play.

The story seemed like it had potential, and certainly other people like it since there are a bunch of sequels, but it just wasn't what I was looking for.

While it is lacking in gameplay some , it by far makes up for it in story, plot, scripted events and cut-scenes. The games weapons and "powers" are a bit cumbersome and take time to adapt to. Making it slightly difficult even on easy-mode. But the story based loosely on Ayn Rand's "Atlas shrugged" written some 50 or so years ago , is killer. It has multiple endings and is pretty fun all-in-all.
