Gave it a 9.3, higher than their score for HL2

Except HL2 is still a better game IMO.

Gamespot is weird with their scores like that...

From everything I have seen, this is not just a FPS but has some RPG in it.

It will not take much RPG/Story to beat out both Doom3 and HL2.

They both had great gfx, but in the end were just run and gun FPS.

I agree Mugzy. HL2 had a bit better story than D3, but it was still arcade-style run and gun...no story alternatives, no puzzles to figure out, and a long way from a dynamic storyline. I was also a bit surprised by the low-level AI, at least as far as your 'friends' in the resistance were concerned. I mean, how hard is it to get an AI that stays where you tell it to?

Ok, just got a copy from CompUsa.

WOW! This is a fun game!

The hand to hand combat system is very cool and the gameplay/story is great.

This game deserves to get a higher score then hl2 and d3!
