This game is an interesting hybrid of ideas. It's basically a first-person mech-based shooter, with a distinct anime-inspired art style and story. Don't worry, though, because it's by Monolith, the guys who made such great games as No One Lives Forever and F.E.A.R., which means it handles like any other PC fps, and wonderfully, at that. The graphics are pretty dated, but not nearly as badly as some other games from its era. Also, this game has a lot of blood and explosions, which you may or may not consider a plus, depending on taste. This is a great game that most will probably enjoy with the right perspective on exactly what they're playing. And, of course, $5.99 is a steal. I would definitely recommend this game to shooter fans and mech fans, alike.
