So, the Games Story starts and finishes very generically, your a space outlaw who was tricked into killing innocents, by a shitty organization, and now you want revenge. Ok so off the bat, I wasnt impressed I have seen and heard this story or variations of this story a million times,but anyway you end up crashing on a thunderdome like planet, in which you get to unleash bloody carnage on all the inhabitants in your quest for redemption! I will give the game this at first the characters got some laughs out of me but very quickly the humor died on me, I can only take so many jokes about dick shots untill it just gets old, and really thats how the whole game feels.
The game plays like other first person shooters, but with the addition of skill shots, a powerful kick, and a weapon called the leash that acts as a whip/ device you buy things with. Basicly the leash records how well your doing, and rewards points for it. So lets say you just shoot someone to death, well then you get 1o points, towards gun upgrades, new weapons, ammo. Now lets say you leash the person towards you, shoot them in the balls, then kick them into a cactus, well then you get 400 points so it really does behoove you to get creative. But, not really because you see each area has one maybe to hazards, and you get 8 weapons total. Now you can do some cool stuff with each weapon but you unlock them slowly and by the time you get your next one, you've done everything you really can with the previous ones. Hazards are the same pretty much everywhere and boil down to knock, that enemy into your choice of SPIKES! ELECTRICITY! CACTUS! BLADES! DIFFERENT ELECTRICITY!
That is not to say the game is not fun. Using a robot T-Rex to destroy your enemies was awesome fun. The Sniper, and trip mine guns were two of my favorite things in this game just because of the things you could do with them. The problem is fun just doesn't last long in between new things, every time you do get a new gun or new enemy ( of which there are around 5 different types), or face a new boss, there is fun top be had but for a game with 7 acts which are about two chapters a piece the game feels so damn long, which just is not a good sign, in a game that is supposed to be this action packed, high octane shooter, to be left feeling bored is just unacceptable.
