While playing Damnation, the first thing you are dropped into is a tutorial, which unfortunately shows how poor the graphics and A.I are.
Your teammants feel as though they are just along for the ride as your killing enemies by yourself, since your parter(s) will hardly ever shoot, leaving them getting shot many times and you having to rescue them over and over. In addition the enemy A.I. is not that bright either, sometimes not moving and shooting at al. They do, instead, do alot of damage. And since you cannot take cover most of the time you will be popping in and out of corners.
The graphics in this game barely pass for next-gen, as poor grainy landscapes and texture pop-ups are frequent.
The dailouge is not that great and cutscenes seem to just have fast-forward feeling about them.
The big thing this game has going for it is the games acrobatics, which you will need traversing the many vertical landscapes. Later on in the game you are also given the ability to see enemies and your teammates through wall. Though it is fun shooting a bad-guy while hanging from a rail, the action becomes repetitive over your possible 6-8 hours of gameplay. There is some vehicle action which lets you traverse the land at high speeds and even on the sides of walls
This game also supports co-op an multipayer, which makes the action more fun since you wont have a bonehead A.I. at your side. I would suggest this being only a rental at most as this pales in comparison to other shooter games out there.
