Sometimes a game isn't bad, it just isn't memorable. This is certainly one of them. An easily forgettable shooter that at least has some length to it, and you will get to kill some things. That's never a bad thing.
The game starts in the past as you take the role of a squad leader in Iraq. Soon enough, instead of shooting insurgents you are taking on some freaky looking dudes, who are supposed to be merely infected. But we know better, eh? Then you cut to the present in Nevada where a group of militia have taken over a town. Sure they have. We still know better. From there it's time to take down those pesky aliens and save mankind! Or something to that effect.
This is supposedly a squad based game. To be honest I only remember raising heck and letting the computer characters do as they want, since they did that anyway. On the plus side the graphics are solid for the time and the levels are fairly well put together. Controls never seem to be an issue, and there is some good gameplay to be found. Most of the time you use regular guns, but on occasion you get to play with wild prototypes.
I think there is a multiplayer mode, but I can't remember and I never bothered to play it anyway. By now it's servers are probably all closed anyway so it's a moot point.
I'd be lying if I said I remember lots of the game. I only remember a few areas here and there and nearly nothing of the plot. I can't remember the ending even though I beat the game. Yet even though it's not being a memorable experience, this game still provides a bit of entertainment. I wouldn't throw it on top of your GameQ but if you are running low on options, this is worth a look.
