Downloadable FPS exclusively multiplayer game set in a futuristic Europe priced at 15$. It's about a gig large, features 8v8 battles across ten maps. Uses CoD style progression (most likely exp 'grinding') for additional weapons and add-ons. A default ability revealed is x-ray vision, at the cost of using your weapons. Apparently this promotes teamwork (I think it's stupid). This game's gonna need a lot more than one of Superman's party tricks to stand out - then again, it is a AAA downloadable. Shadow Complex and Battlefield 1943 trail-blazed a welcome frontier for developers with good ideas, but not the funds to produce full fledged games.

Still, looking through walls? Surely they can do better.

1200 MS Points

12 maps

7 game types

4 cooperative missions and will feature a weapon customization system

Try it tomorrow.

Don't buy this shit game. My fucking God.

Didn't like the videos and I'm always wary of XBLA FPS games. Every single one I've demo'd has been crap.

Except Perfect Dark, of course.

How many has there been?

For perspective and future reference; please know that IGN gave this game an 8.0. I stopped giving a damn about number scores a long time ago but I was interested in seeing what IGN gave this disappointing googlemesh(?). That is got something as high as an 8 in the eyes of the reviewer floored me. My previous thoughts about ambiguous number scores and particularly IGN's wildly inconsistent scale steeled my feelings on the manner. My fucking god.
