It has a great story as far as FPS' go, and its weapons were far more creative and fun then most other shooters out there. Not to mention its robust online play. Definitely a good shooter, and easily a great launch title. |
I second that. It's a hugely fun title. It's very, very hard to get shooters right on consoles, due to slow turning speeds and the lack of mouse-like precision control. But Insomniac delivered the goods on this one. Great controls, responsive action, hugely fun weapons, wild melees mixed up with occasional vehicle action, and of course that great story, chockfull of witty references to Half Life, Godzilla, and a thousand other alien-invasion stories. The first time you hear the US secret forces referring to Nathan Hale as "Grayskin" was stunning. Very, very few shooters ever reach this level.
