I got this game a few weeks ago from B&B, just because she wanted to give me something...how cool is that? Anyway, it was a game I had seen a trailer for earlier in the year. It looked impressive, so when it came out she ups and gets it for me.
The graphics are great. The game is much like Serious Sam where the baddies come at you from all angles. Your job is to kill them all to move on. If you like this type of carnage from your games, you'll like it. The minimum requirements are not real high end, but they are up there. Check them before you think of buying this.
Basically, the game puts you between heaven and hell, fighting demons to get to the various bosses of the underworld, who are trying to control this 'wasteland'. As I said before, the graphics are great. The gameplay is pretty easy on the lower difficulty levels, but is somewhat challenging on the higher levels. Hordes and hordes of demons come at you, kill them all to move on. The checkpoint system is fairly generous, and there is a quicksave option. Once each chapter is complete you fight a boss. Each boss has special attributes that must be fought in a different way.
As a side challenge, the game has goals in each level to attain. If the goal is completed then you receive a tarot card to be used as the game goes along. Each card gives you special powers that can prove useful in some levels. Challenges are such as to collect no souls, or complete the level while using only the painkiller weapon. Some seem impossible.
One frustration I had was the patch the producers offered. It actually made the game unplayable once I achieved a certain level. I took the patch off and reinstalled the base game and was back to destroying the beasts.
All in all I would recommend the game to anyone looking for the helter skelter style that Serious Sam gave us but with the graphics closer to Quake.
Although I haven't finished the game yet, I'm sure the ending will be at the very least, graphically pleasing.
