"Back in the Hole"...
gohmifune31 December 2005
This game...this game this game this game. There is nothing on earth like it. The basic premise is that a virus known as Lahder is being produced by the evil terrorist organization known as Enigma. You're job is to go in and stop them. Simple? Maybe...

The game is an espionage-action game. Stealth is required, but this is not Metal Gear Solid, though you would think by the look. The game is very action oriented, you actually hide very little in comparison, but the strength of the game is the ability to disguise yourself. You are able to disguise yourself as a guard, a party goer, a villain, anything and anyone, anywhere provide you can take a picture. You use this ability to go into areas you haven't been before, to meet with other people and to sneak past guards when you are wanted. It's amazing in concept and practice.

The Music is solid, a lot of tracks that are fantastic, and some that will irritate you. There aren't as many as there should be, and it isn't as full or orchestral sounding as one would like. The soundtrack is primarily rock, and it works very well.

Graphics are beautiful at times, very little to no slowdown depending on how you play. The characters and objects are texture mapped which has taken away in some cases, but when you are in a room full of people and each and everyone is different looking, it is a sight. Also, there developers have gone through the trouble of giving the characters very expressive faces, a raise of an eye brow and contraction of the eyelids just slightly, a grin, little things, and it works so well.

Sound is great, you can hear the foot steps of a guard in the distance on the lowest quality of speakers.

Voice Acting is solid, some characters are amazing in their portrayal and some are solid bordering meh. You're characters have very little in the ways of lines, but enough for you to identify with them and care.

Everything about this game is solid, and a great number of things are amazing, with the good controls, graphics, puzzles, and even collision detection, there is very little to be disappointed with. It is a very good game. Under 12 hours on easy for a first playthrough, and a second to with the other character flesh out the story, this game well worth the time it occupies.

It is a very good game.
