    Default Kill.Switch Scores!

    Source Here

    Closing Comments:

    "There's a lot to like about kill.switch. As it's one of those types of experiences that's easy to pick-up, difficult in all the right places, and oozes Hollywood atmosphere without sacrificing too many gameplay convictions. While we can't say that we approve of its particularly short-sided length and occasional camera problems, it's still one hell of a fun ride while it lasts; especially if for fans of military excursions like Freedom Fighters and Conflict: Desert Storm. Ideally, the game may not have enough to warrant becoming a must-purchase title for gamers searching for long-term satisfaction. But for those of us looking for something a little less cookie-cutter in the shooting genre with a couple of hours to spare, then kill.switch is definitely attractive. Call it the "Ultimate Rental" or perhaps the "Ultimate Bargain Bin Pickup" when it lowers in price in a couple of months, kill.switch is at the very least worth your attention."

    Presentation -
    The spooky flashbacks and storyline are much cooler than we anticipated and the hi-tech military atmosphere is perfect. The load times aren't too bad either.

    - 8.5


    Graphics -
    We enjoyed the lighting effects and particles quite a bit, but we've definitely seen better textures and models in plenty of other games. Expect occasional slowdown in later areas.

    - 7.5


    Sound -
    It may not have the most advanced coding in the world, but everything from the soundtrack to the voices are top-notch. Great audio effects too.

    - 8.5


    Gameplay -
    Recurring camera issues and a lack of variety in enemies may turn you off, but he crouching idea works well and there are plenty of targets to shoot. Most of all, it's just plain fun.

    - 8.1


    Lasting Appeal -
    At most, players are looking at five to six hours to complete the game on normal difficulty. Sadly, there's little incentive to go back after you've beaten it.

    - 6.0

    ____________________________________________________

    I am suprised by this score. This title acually looks quite impressive, except for the fact that the length of time in which a person takes to complete Kill.Switch is far from impressive. This game looks to be significantly improved from Namco's effort last year, Dead to Rights.

    'The 'bliss' of ignorance is not happiness, but instead an absence of trouble. Happiness accompanies the complete exercise of an individuals' human capacity. Approximations of happiness accompany this to the degree that it's realized. The 'bliss' of ignorance is a poor approximation.'
