Damnation (Xbox 360, 2009)

This game follows after the Gears of war 2 type play mode using unreal game engine technology with many differant weapons to use throughg the campaign ...
the multiplayer is excellant also.....if you like fast paced game play you love this game also has 3 levels of difficulty and a very good story line...
enjoy....

Don't be fooled by the 4/5 rating this game somehow has on this page!

There is really only one place to begin... Damnation is just not a good game. The story is irrevelent and dumb, the boss fights are easy, the driving sequences are awful, controls arent great, enemy AI is extremely stupid, your partners are terrible, graphics are so-so and the levels are extremely long.

This game is first and foremost a shooter. There is alot of platforming involved also. I guess to compare it to some games would include, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Prince of Persia, and Assassin's Creed. The game is nowhere as good as any of the before mentioned games, not even close, but the game is a mix of them.

The game also has it's share of driving sequences. Also note that driving sequences have you defying gravity many times. There is not always a clear way to go and you will just fall to your death sometimes. The checkpoints aren't terrible far away, but why play this more than you have to? The camera angle is bad also in driving sequences and no, you cannot change it.

If you do decide to get this game, get used to the following:
Enemies to fight. Lots of platforming. Long (not always clear or marked) driving sequences. Partner does something stupid and dies. Rinse and repeat.

I guess if you are into achivements, this is a pretty easy game to get them all on. Easier even if you use the cheat codes to unlock Insane difficulty and play once thru on co-op (but really by yourself). Co-op by yourself is actually pretty easy, considering you can revive your partner/teammate from just about anywhere on the map.

Overall, this game earns a hearty 1/5 rating. Do not waste your time buying this peice of garbage, but if you must play it, rent it or borrow it from a friend (who unfortunately owns it for some reason).

Please vote "Yes" if this review helped you at all, thanks.

Kind of like gun meets gears of war. Graphics are awesome and the story line is pretty cool. I just wish there was a better way to take cover and it takes a minute to get use to pressing L2 when you want to shoot.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccccccccccccccccccccdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Great shooter game ... Me Likey ... lol ... I like the action and pace the game puts you through ...

nice game but if you buy from this seller dont expect to get any feedback and if i would have played a demo of GUN i probably wouldnt have bought it. I guess i was expecting somthing else..
