Hey, what a surprise another shooter. Yes, I bought this game, and yes it's a really good game graphically, story, and sounds. This review would probably sound like every other review that comes out for an Xbox 360 shooter. It seems that the only licence that is coming out in high volume is the FPS on the 360. You play as Jackie, a contract killer, for his adoptive, uncle Paulie, and with a name like 'uncle Paulie' he can only be that stereo-typical New York gangster. Jackie, a male, with this whole crow-like appearence discovers he is possessed by a demon or something like it. I've only started playing, and I've gotten to the World War I hell world. Game starts interestingly, where you're basically betrayed by unchie Paul. Basically, you're the hit, with these strange shadowy creatures coming out of your back. Through-out the entire game you eat the hearts of humans and World War I zombie soldiers, that's what gets you stonger gradually. However, there are no status bars in the top corner, which is alright you get an idea of your death by the you getting hit and basically getting shot to death. But you can heal quickly as long as you're in the dark. The weird thing is, when the shadow things pop out of your back for the first time, there's a basic cut-scene where these creatures rip appear like five guys, stabbing them with tails, opening gates to hell, and biting people's faces off, which looks amazing, but that's it, after that those creatures are defensive and don't do much except eat hearts from the people you've shot. I love using the pistols, the rifle is good but a single shot, and the shot-gun is nice in close quarters but in the large open environment of the city it's almost useless, the Uzi looking gun fires a good bit, but it's so weak it's pointless. The pistols are a good mix of distance and power. br / br /This game is good, very interesting, and FPS fans must love the fact that 360 and the developers can bring decent games, but I still want a great RPG, or Adventure, there are too many FPS games out, although they're good. Get this game it's good but it's already in a high volume genre. br /
