Mechanical Phil

I genrally like most multiplayer combat games, even those that have a case of (everyone who has owned it for a while will be much better,) so thought I'd take the plunge, a few hard core gamers loving it so it must be decent. But this game lacks a lot, and i was took back by how much. The gameplay is sluggish, the combat is awkwardly timed, and Its is just a case of walk behind someone (as the characters can't see or defend from behind) to get the cheap shot kill by 90% of players. I can't see the honest drive to "git good" as the gaming community states. With its, in the map for a few seconds, find two guys fighting, kill one and get destroyed from behind. Potential for character building is there, but locked behind this awful load out mechanic, Battle mechanics are the worst i have ever played. This is the games most biggest let down, as it's the games main focal point. Again, seems backwards as the potential is there to create good mechanics. the lack of weapon speed animation, countered with how all over the place the stick movement (on the playstation) is, creates a battle to make a hit land. It's just plain anoying and frustrating. The more weapons you use, and the higher class you get, you kid yourself with the idea it may get better. Just to be let down with the same issues again. Graphics, good for a large multiplayer combat game, but you seem to just repeat maps which is a shame. If a game can contain these graphics with this many players, it's brilliant what could be done, but it's a shame this combat system just overthrows the idea of enjoying it. The game has a selling point that stated on the cover (over 30+ weapons) not totally true. You have a few weapons with a few skins, or difforent named same weapons. Overall Very lack luster due to battle mechanics, seems to have a hard core following of people that love hard games. Very disappointed. Seems like a very strange demo (bata) game locked behind a price tag.
