Even against one enemy, you can only get a few shots off before you are on the ground again. Even if you start off well, it's hard to hit them because your head is in the way and not off to the side like any normal Third Person Shooter.."},{"author_name":"Izzimach","author_uid":"11739","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 7:55pm","epoch":1335210600,"text":"Audio and graphics are top-notch, and the game as a whole is complete.
