One of the best candiate for the 'Man I wish it got a sequel' mention. Nothing plays like it. A cover-based shooter that pushes you to stay out of cover as much as possible. It was so bold to release during the cover-shooter craze. It is such a shame that Vanquish and Platinum Games did not get the recognition they deserve. This game is both innotivative and brilliant and should have been in the video game zeitgeist during its release for being the shot to the arm the genre and the times needed.
