| Yeah it's nice a shooter has looked to Heart of Darkness for inspiration and not towards shocks like most, but I played the demo and it felt rather bland as a game straight away.
Can see myself renting it in the future though or getting it for 15ish quid. |

| LOVE YOU BEVAN.
I've always found the Heart of Darkness inspiration one of the hardest things to swallow about this game. I studied that text a lot at university and hold it very dear, and to think of its core themes sandwiched between Gears-lite action sequences seems kind of... wrong. |

| Meh, got bored and skipped to the score. Too many "Gears of War" appearing in the first couple of paragraphs. Sure, all military shooters are going to be instantly compared to Gears of War when it comes to cover and gameplay, but I just wanted to know specifically about the game, and why it has it's flaws and what the game offers to the table.
I liked the demo quite a bit, and using sand to your advantage is very a good gaming mechanic. Using the environment as a weapon, nice going there! I played in the closed private beta for the multiplayer of this game. The sandstorm effect is top notch and I can see it having a small community playing it.
7 seems fair, but I'll be getting this game later. Fixed myself upon getting it after watching the many developer videos and convinced myself that this is a military shooter, that will keep me pre-occupied for the summer. |

| The reviews online have been pretty positive, with praise, especially for the ending, being a highlight for me and it made me really want to play it. It just got delivered and it's installing now. |

| Man, another game that looks so cool when you first read about it but ends up being totally forgetful. |

| So I finished this and while it is very gears heavy on the gameplay I think its actually worth playing through. The decisions you make actually wondering what I thought was right rather then usual I'm a good so should I make x decision or I'm a bad guy I should do Y. |
