Kill Switch Published by: Jeff McCloy on 2004-04-24 Page Views: 5570 Rating: 3/10
I was very excited to get my hands on this game. What interested me the most was the ability to fire over and around cover obstacles. This was something that I never experienced before in gameplay. Unfortunately, the overall gameplay has little to be desired.
The controls were easy to use as it was a perfect mimic of Halo. Using the left and right thumbsticks for movement and aiming. However, even giving the ability to change settings didn't help the fact that actually locking onto a target was very difficult, and in my opinion hurting the gameplay greatly. The addition of auto aiming would have really helped in this area.
Graphically, the game was a failure. Often the environement was so dark that it was near impossible to find your target. Even with night vision it was still a lose lose situation. The cut scenes were like something out of an antiquated Sega Genesis game. From the very beginning of this game, you have no idea why you are on these missions. There was just no storyline whatsoever.
The only bright spot of this game was the clever use of camera angles when shooting over or around cover obstacles. Unfortunately, it was not enough to over come the lack of storyline, antiquated cinematic cut scenes, and overall boredom.
