Quotes:

Bandero: Hey, how's that leg doing?
[Wayne silently pats his right leg twice and shows that he's okay]
Bandero: You bounce back fast, just like me. So tell me, what did Gale do to you?
[Bandero looks at his VS]
Bandero: Something to do with this thing right? You know what bothers me?
Wayne Holden: What?
Bandero: I don't know what you're capable of, but you're an itch I can't scratch. I didn't care when I thought the experimental model was just that witch, but then I came to find that I was just another prototype. I'm just a worthless stepping stone for some "damn kid"!
Wayne Holden: That VS belongs to me.
Bandero: [shouting] I'm *not finished!*
[Bandero furiously draws his handgun and fires a bullet at the VS behind him]

Pretty good, but a lot like Gears of War

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I played this game over my friend's house, and i only played from act 3 to the beginning of act 5, and it was pretty good. good graphics, challenging, but I thought it was pretty boring in parts.

You have some humans against you, which work for the Snow Pirates and NEVEC, and you have aliens called the Akrid. But what I thought was stupid was how the Akrid only attacked you, and not the NEVEC workers and the Snow Pirates. A lot of it reminded me of Gears of War (it was not as bloody as Gears of War, and more blood would have made it better), and the vehicles looked like miniatures of the Chrome Hounds vehicles. Some of the achievements are hard to get, like one which is to defeat a giant worm. To defeat this worm, you have to destroy these heat compartments on his sides, but if you take a long time to destroy them, another one will come, which can get extremely annoying.

If you are thinking of getting this game, I would rent it first. My mate said the multi-player is awesome, so if you are disappointed by the 1 player mode, try the multi-player.
