I think it would be considered a decent shooter, no matter the platform it is on. And I mean that even for the Wii.

While I am having fun with the game, it does seem a little rough around the edges. That said I don't play many FPSes.. even with a 360... so it was nice to have a change in locale... There's a level set in the White House and one in the Pentagon.

That said, some things are still relatively basic... two levels have ended with... destroy X amount of X before time runs out, and you do run into run with respawning enemies (though they do explain that and you can shut it down)

There are ideas in here that would be ace in other shooters such as HUD placement (complete control over where everything goes and how much it shows up on screen) and of course control customization (again complete control over what buttons you map to what and your aim sensitivity)

I've actually been enjoying the online/multi element, it won't replace TF 2/ L4D in my routine but it is a solid 3rd/4th game in my line-up. Decent amount of options (levels, game type and weapon set) so it would be a cool mix and match.

And some of the weapons are pretty inspired if not a bit disgusting (there is one I swear you shove your hand up its arse)

Anyhow, that's the quick and dirty.

A fun, but only decent shooter.
