A mindless, almost completely linear shooter, and it knows, and isn't sorry about it. Criterion emphasized look and feel, and succeeded big. The many guns are impeccably modeled and detailed, feel weighty to aim, with natural looking recoil and sway as you shoot, run with them, and reload. Explosions are some of the prettiest of the generation, emitting plumes of flame, smoke, dust and debris, and environments destruct in a pleasing detailed manner as you shoot and blast them to splinters. A one trick pony for sure, but about as polished as can be, and short enough to avoid becoming tedious.
