I should start by saying I've never been a big fan of shooters. Doom, Quake, Team Fortress, Call of Duty, all bored me to tears. But I found Iron Storm immediately accessible and a very interesting alternate reality storyline. The multiplayer is fun without becoming tedious. Missions are diverse and never feel repetitive. There's just enough mix of stealth and action to make the game feel very realistic. At this price, Iron Storm is a great deal.
