Like I mentioned earlier the larger Akrid can be a bitch to kill so you’ll have access to tons of Vital Suits throughout the game. However, there will be certain areas that won’t be accessible by mech and at times like these you can rip out the machine gun strapped onto its side and blast the crap out of everything a la John Rambo and feel like a total badass.
The human encounters on the other hand aren’t all that hot (no pun intended here) as the AI fuelling these pirates is pretty stupid (most of them will just stand around while you kill their team mates in front of their very own eyes) and after a spectacular battle with a giant moth atop a beautiful mountain, these skirmishes are a bit of a letdown.
There is a certain amount of platforming present in this game as well that’s executed with the help of your grappling hook which when activated can propel you to greater heights in a matter of seconds (just make sure that the cursor has turned green or the hook won’t attach itself on that surface).
I’ve come across many people who think this game doesn’t look all that good and I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re either blind or are playing this game on a standard definition TV. The Akrid look highly detailed and when confronted by the gigantic ones, you will stare at them in awe for a couple of minutes since they’re so intricately detailed. This game has probably the best snow effect I’ve seen in any game as every step taken by Wayne or anything for that matter will cause the snow to react in a most realistic manner. On the flip side, one thing that could have been worked upon is in-game explosions which end up looking pretty lame as compared to the mind boggling visuals on screen.
