Narkaleptic Thoughtless » Review http://josh.mainelan.net Random nonsense from the mind of Narkaleptic.

The story is great and the lack of choices fit in nicely near end game but I was really hoping for more.  It is a kill everything you see that reminds me of the likes of Wolfenstein.  The only difference is you have more combative options available.  Playing on medium difficulty, I found the whole game to be insultingly easy.  Hints pretty much move any element from puzzles.

The graphics and the gameplay is a fresh break from everything else but I would really like to see this revolutionary combination of RPG and FPS that was claimed to rival Deus Ex.  Even the second iteration of Deus Ex has this looking like every other FPS out there with a couple new bells and whistles.

Story and combat still make this a great game, I just feel lied to.
