no problem solving, no exploration, no puzzles, just non-stop enemies that keep coming at you over and over - I'm not a super big fan of shooting games but, I did love METROID PRIME CORRUPTION and RESIDENT EVIL 4 and this game is nothing like either of those. But for people who are only in it for the shooting, you might not think that it's so very very boring.
Awesome Game February 14, 2010

I haven't gotten very far yet, but this is a really good game. It's a lot of fun, and the controls actually aren't that bad. It can get a little tough, and some of the things I don't QUITE fully understand, but you figure it out better as you go. Anyway, I recommend the game, it's a lotta fun, tough to stop playing.
Alright game February 10, 2010

This game is fun to play, but I wouldn't describe it as incredible. The story line is sort of blah, but the action is nice. I'm glad I purchased it, but I think there are better Wii games out there.
 This game is named after its worst aspect. February 10, 2010

Sega deserves more credit for not only making a first person shooter on the Wii but making one you have complete control over when it comes to customizing the Wiimote functions. I didn't find that out until late into the game when I was hating the controls. Do yourself a favor when you play it and check them out right away. You can also turn off the lame vision blur when reloading and make your cursor auto center when the Wiimote points off screen so you don't end up looking at the floor or ceiling for any reason. After I customized my controller and game options I loved this game not only for the controls but for giving me so many other types of ways to play.
Here's where the game gets bad. You fight monsters that come out of conduits. Conduits basically act as monster generators just like in Gauntlet and many many other games. So they have unlimited enemies to throw at you. You however don't have unlimited life or bullets. You'll need to destroy each conduit to cut off their enemy supply line before you run out of resources. Maybe you'll like this but I don't like seeing real time strategy elements in my FPS.
The difficulty can get ugly at a conduit checkpoint. Mercifully the game lets you turn down the difficulty at anytime. Making the game less frustrating but not more satisfying.
The levels are all made up of claustrophobic hallways, outside alleys, and sewers with only one direction to follow until the levels dead end finish. So don't expect to see any hills, islands, or valleys that you would in games such as Halo.
Enemies seem to have a death wish. They hide for cover at times but prefer charging at you head on mostly. But why expect them to have the same type of self preservation that enemies exhibit in other shooters? Maybe those baddies would suicide charge you too if those games had conduits with unlimited enemies spilling out of them one after the other.
You also have a floating ball on your person. It's main function is to open up not so secret doors with similar ammo pick ups on every level (just like in Wolfenstein or Doom-I still remember where the chain saw is). The ball also disarms invisible mines that kill you but not the enemy which leads me to believe our man, Ford, is just a crazy person who sees things that aren't really there. The Aliens are probably just rats in the sewer.
This game could benefit more from thematic elements too. Clearing a level doesn't feel very rewarding you just move on to the next one.
I can't say this game is very good but it's not because it's on the Wii. They did a good job making this game. It's just not like any of the FPSs that are good(Halo, Deus Ex, Breakdown, Undying). But If you want to see how sweet a Wiimote can be in a FPS I say check this out.
