Exciting twist on the FPS Genre

Pros: --Great use of the DOOM 3 engine

--Realistic physics

--Good story that I predict develops into something epic.

--Haunting atmosphere

--Amazing use of gravity effects and real-time portals to build one-of-a-kind puzzles and gun fights.

--All around original ideas (i.e. most everything is living including the levels and weapons).

Cons: --The game lacks a pistol-type weapon (semiautomatic, high accuracy) for all of us headshot freaks who like to conserve ammo.

--"Run & Gun" gameplay through-and-through. No real options for sneeking if you favor a stealth character (except in Spirit Mode, which works partly as a stealth alternative).

--Keep it away from the young kids (harsh language, strong violence, and disturbing images).
