Well, I have solved the game... and overall I am pretty disappointed. After the intial shock and awe of the beatifully rendered cut sequences, this game really doesn't have much to offer. The third person perspective really just doesn't work. I firmly believe that if this title was done in a first person style with the HALO controls, it would have been much more successful. Let's face it folks, if you have played HALO, it sets a pretty high standard for any shooter to follow and this game will leave you feeling empty from about half-way through on. It just doesn't stack up. Save your money and rent this game if you can before you invest in it... You'll be glad you did.
