A big let down.Review created: 06/20/06

The pc version of this game had an absolutely great online experience, then there is the xbox version.
The guys over at Activision that converted the RavenSoft PC version did a well, horrible job. The game lacked graphic power and did very little to take advantage of the xbox's power. Older and not as well put together pc's run the older pc version better then the xbox.
There was little to no detail to the graphics and not much enjoyment to the online feature, which was it's biggest selling point. The xbox version added a few more maps to the game then the xbox version but nothing substantial. There was large confusion when first playing the game online with the microphone as well.
When trying to talk to you team mates you had to push buttons to talk to your entire team taking away the chance to get a kill if you are trying to talk to your teammates. Also if you are just talking to another player standing next to you, you can be heard by the enemy in the area, which is very cool from a real life standpoint, but very confusing when you aren't in the conversation. You have no idea if it's your teammates or the other team.
I just can't get over how poorly the conversion of this game was done. It seemed like they put thier rookie team on the conversion and gave them no supervision or direction. Just poor.

This is an average shooter. What makes this a good value is that you can usually find 1 for less than $7.00 including shipping.

I'm surprised it got bad reviews! I'm a critical adult gamer and I thought that once you get past the first couple of levels the game was great. Lots of weapons & if you use cheats you can cary all of them. Great detail, you can use a shotgun to blow a chunk of someones leg off while they hop around on the other. One of my favorite shooters!!!!!!!!!
