Personally I thought the game sucked. The aiming is awful and I didn't like the graphics either, or anything else about the game. Pretty much thought the play control was terrible and it doesn't compare to ge/pd in my opinion, it's just a cheap imitation. And there's no blood which takes the fun out of shooting anyone. I don't know how you could go from playing pd to playing this and be happy, pd is superior in every way. Most people seem to think it's great though so you should try it out definitely.


I like it better than PD because i can play 4 players without ruining my eyesight.  Of course, Goldeneye rules all, bad framerates and all.  Its just a great game.  Its made by some of the same people who made GE/PD, so its not a cheap imitation.   What is wrong with the play control?  Besides the aiming, which always seems a tad off, the rest of the play mechanics are spot on.

I was just used to being able to hold down L or R and aim all around and you can't do that you gotta like move the c stick and and walk a certain direction just to aim somewhere and I found this quite annoying and impractical, plus walking around just seemed kind of herky jerky like the screen would bump up slightly then bump up down when you stop which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. The guns and character models seemed kinda cartoony which I don't like either. That's as good an explantion I can give as to why I don't like it. Pd really slows down on the villa level on co-op but besides that I never thought the framerate was a problem.

In 4 player its very hard on the eyes.  2 player is pretty good though.  Don't get me wrong, i played PD to death, i just put it 3rd after GE and TS2.
