I wasn't 100% convinced about this when it was recommended to me by a slighty dodgy NTSCer. How wrong I was.
I started smiling on the title screen. The swelling chords and drums set the mood beautifully.
Alien craft, giant ants, Japanese city, excitable utterances, machine gun and rocket launcher. Welcome to mission one.
Default controls very odd. Won't bother detailing them as you'll be wanting the alternative:
Left stick: move
Right stick: look
Right trigger: fire
Left trigger: jump (or dive if running at an angle or pushing L/R)
Right bumper: change weapons
Left bumper: zoom (sniper only I think)
I managed to turn off the save function but even having to replay several missions (once I'd got it back on again) didn't get rid of my smile.
Only completed half-a-dozen or so missions (twice! - see above) all of which are set in the same environment.
I have had cracking fun over the past couple of hours and am looking forward to seeing what else the game will throw at me.
Will post more impressions in due course.
Still smiling.
