Star Rating: 
★★★
The Skinny: A new recruit finds his squad of 'roided-up Mantel Troopers distasteful, so he defects to the fuzzier, more liberal (but less tech-savvy) Rebels, kicks his own 'roid-addiction (in the game it's called Nectar), and gives his old squad mates a little of the old what-for.

The Good: Story line and character development—as rare as tits on a bull in the first-person shooter genre—are in full effect in the game.

The Bad: Oddly paced for a first-person shooter. Checkpoints are too far apart, meaning you'll have to shoot that guy, that guy, that guy, and that guy again if you die.

Who the F*** Thought This Was a Good Idea Dept.: The Mantel Troopers head into battle wearing—get this—bright yellow armor. Dumb asses.
