The plot and way it's approached is pretty darn good and the ending was so utterly bleak it was really quite moving, even if the game is rather hypocritical in its attempts to make the player feel somewhat guilty for their actions.
On the other hand the gameplay is fucking awful.
Within about 10 minutes I'd come to the conclusion that I was basically playing time crisis.
Pop out of cover, shoot a guy, duck back into cover. Rinse, repeat.
The cover mechanic was total crap and lacked any fluidity whatsoever, half the time when you attempted to run into cover you'd just stand up upon reaching it.
Sniping was broken, when aiming at people the scope would 'stick' if you tried to move it upwards once aiming at a soldier, making it bloody difficult to get headshots at times.
Ai partners were a bit of a joke, and about as reliable as said sniping.
So in the end, gameplay is rubbish in comparison to any other current shooter I can think of, what really makes it is the plot and characterization, it has infinitely more depth then the competition.
It's worth £10 easily, but at full price I'd feel rather ripped off.
