Decent game.

PC Version.

I was pleasantly surprised by this game. It is good. In the future, Hong Kong is being taken over by a terrorist organization calling themselves The Republic. A peace keeping coalition has been formed for the purpose of destroying the Republic. You play as Nathan Frost, a soldier who has been enhanced with the latest in cyborg technology. The Republic is building a giant EMP weapon, which will help them takeover the world, and you must stop them.

The graphics are acceptably good in this. It of course comes nowhere near the quality of many other games like Call of Duty 2, or Fable, but it is very good none the less. There are tons of weapons to choose from, and each weapon has an alternate fire option. There is no limit to how many weapons you can carry. To make things even better, there are augmentations, which come from your enhanced body. You have thermal vision, bio-shield, and a couple others, like one that shoots lightning all around you, and one that allows you to move extremely fast. You can also drive cars and tanks in this, and it's totally at random. You don't have to drive if you don't want to, but if you find a car that hasn't been destroyed yet, then you can get in and drive over people.

Playing the PC version, I'm always afraid of experiencing glitches. And I did, but luckily not many. Occasionally the game would crash for no reason. However, I managed to complete the game, and the crashing didn't effect game-play enough to really bother me.

This game is very easy, so make sure you play it on one of the more difficult settings. I played it on the normal setting, and I beat way too quickly.
