In the crazy out of control of 2048, a young Mantel soldier finds himself between what is right and what is wrong……

First, I will like to say what was Free Radical thinking when they where making this game, I mean Free Radical had a nice idea going for them here but, the game just cannot cut it. As you may already know the game takes place in the Boa Region of South America and the worlds biggest PMC, Mantel, has an army of enhanced specialized warriors who use a specialized supplement called, Nectar. And they are sent out to take out the dangerous group of rebels called The Promise Hand. In the game you happen to play as a young Mantel soldier named, Shane Carpenter, and and you soon find out that your mission is not what it appears to be, that’s where the game takes an unexpected turn. Now, Carpenter is now one of the rebels and he finds himself against some of his friends has he try’s to take out Mantel.

As I have said before "The game has a lot of promise" but, I quote from the people at IGN, "hackneyed and feeble amalgamation of concepts that the true impact or commentary that could’ve been presented in the title is immediately lost." I picked this because it’s a true, in the game UbiSoft pictures the Mantel soldiers as over hyped blood lust killers who kill because they have the lust of killing. This can be a problem because it’s hard to make a link between a blood lusted killers who are always jack up over the hype of killing. Lucky for you our friend Shane has a heart and these emotions of blood lust makes it much easier for you to make a connection with him as a person. But, sometimes you feel that he is a punk because he always talking like if he’s scared of something that’s where the game start to fall.

In every video game there somethings that makes it stand out, unfortunate for you the AI isn’t it. When playing the game we face some very serious issues with the AI, like if you are in the middle of battle (Only when you are on the side of the Promise Hand) you find yourself reviving your troops more then you should or you die because our troop decide they want to shoot you. Sometimes I think luck is never on your side in this because like your partners the enemies aren’t much smarter turning this game into a task to beat.

Great things come out of every game lucky for you the games co-op play with a mix of online play and offline play is it. This provides a smooth and relatively enjoyable experience for you and the players around. We aren’t saying that the games co-op mode doesn’t have any problems, like respawning system in the game no-one notices your wounded icon when your wounded unless someone tells you there wounded, other then that it a good co-op player.

The games visuals may look strong but, they are one of the weakest elements in the game for a Next-Gen game this game has some fair looking character models but, other then that the backgrounds can use some work. Mainly because they are bland and lacking or needing more. This is what kind of scares me because one more thing we noted was the flames in the game they are very poor, as if they didn’t spend time on this game at all.

Closing Statement:

I wish there was alot more I can say about this game but, I don’t think there alot of things featured in this game to make up for all it’s mistakes. If the game had a stronger Single player and Multi player this would be one of the best games on the Playstation 3. I’m giving this game a 5 out of 10, sorry guys hope you don’t hate me for this. Free Radical could of done much better with this game instead of pushing the PlayStation 3 they hit it breaking it and breaking my heart.
