First of all....I had a little search and there is a thread that doesnt seem overly impressed with this game, decided I new thread couldn't hurt.

I bought this game as I like the spy em up / spy shooter game type, got it for likw £3 in the steam sales and just loaded it up.

Its really really fun, im not sure if im just the village idiot that doesn't see the flaws (it aint got good reviews) but im loving it. Anyone that can pick it up cheap or maybe already purchased it in the sale should give it a go!

I think a lot of people compared it to splinter cell where you had to play levels over and over again to a) memorise the levels by playing it over and over again and (in my case) just got fed up and quit playing b) gun everything down (not really a spy shooter). This game is forgiving, if guards see you then only the ones nearby are alerted, if you can kill them all before they set of the alarms then you aint ruined the outcome of the level.

Just my $0.02

Most people should have gotten it free in the dixons giveaway. Yeah it's an awesome game.

I'm with you tbh. I heard about it getting slated in the reviews but as far as I'm concerned it's a good, fun game.

The main flaws for me were the weak (thick) enemy ai that didnt do much to avoid dying, and the hacking mini game was also rubbish and a very lame representation of what hacking is like.

I'm not a hacker btw

I've had this in my list of games to play since I bought it in the last Steam Christmas sale but never got round to playing it - sounds like a good time to fire it up if it's not that bad!

I really enjoyed this game, it has a few major flaws, but overall great fun, one of my favourites that I have played this year.
