What a disappointment!!! It could have been a good game, but it's just
a collection of grainy images from the 60's thrown at you at high-speed and flashing lights, plus a lot of animated footage that you HAVE to sit and watch... no skipping...with some playtime in between.
Inserting some "cut-scenes" to give the game some depth and a story line is one thing. To force the gamers watch a movie and wait forever to get some shooting action is egotistic, stupid and absurd.
More so if the shooting is a frantic race through every mission, shooting what you can, when you can... Provided the action is not controlled by the game and, again, you have to sit and watch and wait...
And then there are the blinding flashes of light. Everywhere. All the time. Scenes fade to dark and then the blinding flashes assault your eyes... Looks more like a TV commercial than a video game.
Even the "mission" screen is a blank, bright, white screen that stays on forever. Is this what makes the game "cool", "exciting", "cutting edge"?
And at the end there's none other than John F. Kennedy himself telling none other than F. Castro (the censorship won't allow me to use his full name) and a couple of other characters to arm themselves and fight... Zombies!!!
Zombies? Are you freaking kidding me?
