Well, it was certainly a well made game, and i'm sure that thought was put into it. there are several pros and cons to this game i should address however.
Graphics: 9/10
gorgeous on the psp, lush surroundings, varying level design, and large levels all add to the atmosphere, no complaints in this department, it even has a fairly decent fog of war.
Controls: 8/10
For a first person/over the shoulder shooter on the PSP, the controls are fairly decent, having already played and beaten Gun Showdown , these were nothing new. The psp, lacking a second thumbstick, has been harsh on FPS/3PS genre. Nevertheless, the controls worked. There are some complaints though, weapon switching is slow and awkward as is weapon mode switching, this can can get you killed if you need to switch your weapons in a firefight.
AI: 3/10
Nothing bright, or accurate either, the only time i got killed was making stupid decisions, or trying to switch weapons in the heat of battle. Sometimes an enemy will have seen you, but will simply run around for a while giving you ample time to kill him (they don't have much life, 2-3 shots can take most enemies out). Many enemies won't see you until you're fairly close either, if you use your scouting drone to look ahead in the level, you can simply pick off most enemies from a distance without any trouble, they'll rarely hit you unless they're close enough.
Gameplay: 3/10
Beat the game in all of 3 days, it was well made and published, but very little replay value, and very short in total, not a whole lot for your money. for the FPS fans out there, i would suggest SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals Fireteam Bravo or SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals Fireteam Bravo 2. Both have much more gameplay, replay, and unlockables.
Speaking of which, this game has no unlockables to offer, besides being able to replay previous levels, there is only one difficulty level, so no way to play it again on a harder difficulty. After the game was done, i didn't know what else to do, (multiplayer is only ad-hoc: see below)
Multiplayer: --/10
No online multiplayer, just ad-hoc, which is alright i guess, but only if i had friends who would put up the money for this game. It seems it would work, so i give it a hypothetical 8/10
so what can we conclude? if this was rentable, go for it, borrow it, it's not very rewarding. The gameplay, although decent, is very quick, and not worth more than $5-10. I wouldn't suggest this game.
