Great game plagued by mediocre graphics

Graphics: 3.5 When you first turn the game on, the graphics are incredible...then you go to gameplay, and they truly do suck. Maybe it just seems that way because I have been spoiled by Resident Evil and Metroid Prime (not to mention Animal Crossing). Thestipper scene looks aweful, like someting from N64. Sound: 4.5 The voice acting is pretty good, and the weapons and music really set the mood. Control: 5 I love the way everything moves. The control set up is perfect, from the diving to the shooting. Didn't take very long to get used to either. Only beef I had was the dog, but that was so little of the game it can hardly bring the score down. Gameplay: 4.5 Running around shooting people. Do I need to say more. Blood goes all over, pick up weapons, shoot more, do the slow motion thing. Tons of fun. What brought the score down was the mini-games. They were okay for the first one, but they got repetitive and dull very quick, especially since some were ridiculously hard. Fun Factor: 4 Although there is alot of shooting going on, the mini-games and dog scenes really took away from this game. I usually don't think graphics matter that much, but after seeing the opening scene and knowing what they were capable of, it was hard to focus on the blocky everything. If you want senseless violence, pick it up.
