Summary

This game is pretty entertaining. The one thing that has me baffled is the fact that although it is called Mace Griffin BOUNTY HUNTER, i found myself just running around killing everone, not hunting anybody except for the occasional boss. I think the game should have been called Mace Griffin: Obliterator. Despite all of the negative things in my review, you'll be surprised at my rating!

Sound

The voices were all the same. Each speices had its own voice. Valekiens: High pithced, very annoying, makes it fun to kill them. Jaldari:Low pitched, supposed to scare me, makes me laugh insted. Human: Either a perverted russians voice or a talkative american voice. The music, which there are only about 5 songs, is very repetetive. I liked how it got louder when enemies were around though. The weapon sounds were okay, but not liud enough. The sniper rifle does not sound like a real silenced weapon, it just mimicks all other games. A real silenced weapon is still kinda loud. The explosions were the best part of both the graphics and sound.

Gameplay

The AI could have been better, since most of the time they just sat out in the open, cursing me. As for the weapons, KICK ASS!!!!!!! My favorite was the plasma machine gun. For me, i found the game a little too short for my taste, considering i beat halo 2 in 3 days. Also, the physics were a little off. Getting hit with a rocket directly doesn't nessecerily make you explode into chunks, more like just blow a ton of body parts off of you. The space missions were a cool feature, but there could have been a few more missle varieties, and maybe one more laser. The shield is utterly useless, and health went down a little too fast. Also, the cutscenes kinda sucked. The characters had no original movements. It was almost like after one cutscene the game just takes the characters and places them in a different place, with the same movements. Also, when some of the characters talked, their mouths did not move. The electro gun thingy is useless until the last few levels, when you fight the watchers. The levels seemed too repetetive. It was like when you finished a level, before the next one started, it was taken and changed a little bit. Also, mace ran a little too fast when crouched. I also noticed my enemies could roll when i could not. Also, i notcied that when a door opened with an enemy on the other side, he would always know i was coming. He would fire when the door was about halfway open and he would always hit me. One thing that bothered me was that enemies were so tough in the actual game, but in the cutscenes, when people got shot, they died from one pistol shot. Or when danzig shot krugo, Jaldari always take a ton of hits, yet he dies in one hit. Pathetic. The enemies were very repetetive, like the same guy and his friends keep dying and teleporting to the next room. The damage was unrealistic. I don't care what kind of armor you have on, one rocket kills you. It does not knock you down for a second. As for the levls, way too linear. I found only several places were there was an alternate path.
