I didn't really enjoy this game. The graphics are nice. They are solid with
no noticeable glitches, and the game runs smoothly. The sound and voice acting
is average and the music is great though a little epic for such an anticlimactic
journey.
The level design is OK, you will find some unique puzzles due to having the
ability to leave your body in spirit form to access areas you normally couldn't
and also because of the ability to alter gravity and walk on the ceilings etc .
You use portals to get to different areas and help solve puzzles and find
secrets. Personally I thought they over did it a bit, and it became a tedious
chore to move forward through the game.
Combat is enjoyable, you get a good range of weapons to use and you will find
most of your enemies aren't much of a match. There is a fair variation in enemy
types to fight also. There are no available upgrades, though there is a
multiplayer mode as well as a harder mode you can unlock (it's no secret it
tells you that you need to beat the game to unlock it at the main screen).
That's the good… The bad is that there is little variation in your
environment which I find hugely boring. There is next to no freedom to explore,
it's a set path. and you notice it. You get only one vehicle you can use, a
flying machine that can pick up items and enemies and drop them and of course be
used to shoot at other flying enemies.
You can't die in this game either, death has been replaced with a short
hunting trip in the afterlife where you stand there and fire you bow at red and
blue spirits (red to regain health, blue to regain spirit power) until you are
sucked down a vortex to pick up where you left off, there for, this is not a
hard game, and beating it doesn't feel rewarding.
