Xalavier Nelson Jr.’s game suggests a Halloween attraction as curated by John Woo.
The game’s stronger than expected writing and decent cast more than make up for its conceptual banalities.
The combat levels are gleefully challenging, even on Normal difficulty; your team will be crushed if you don’t maintain total battlefield awareness no matter how many aliens are shooting at you.
While the gameplay may grow a little stale, the story rarely falters.
Those hoping Rockstar Games was going to bestow the grizzled hero with an open-world crime saga will be sorely disappointed.
This is a complete disappointment for those familiar with the original game.
