This was a lot of fun. I'm just echoing most people's thoughts at this point by saying it's probably the best 7/10 we've had for a long time, and despite it being a pretty mid-tier game, it's more entertaining than a lot of the AAA stuff I've played over the last few years.

After playing Terminator Resistance, and dropping off it, I wasn't too sure what I'd get from this, but it turns out it was a much better laid out experience. Little hub areas with a few side quests and a lot of that trademark dark humour. I had a good time. There was quite the difficulty spike here and there, and occasionally it felt like the story was dragging out a bit, but for the most part it's a good time. According to my xbox I played approximately 20hrs. I only started this 3 days ago, so I guess that goes to show how much of a good time I've had.

As an aside, I watched the RoboDoc series as well, and it makes an excellent companion piece. There's a lot of behind the scenes and pre production references dotted throughout the script, with some things being mentioned in side quests, some environmental nods, and various other little tidbits. It made for a neater experience and probably made me appreciate the game a bit more. The effort gone into recreating locations and characters is pretty incredible considering its hardly a AAA title. It's probably one of the better licensed games I've played for a good while, too.

If you like RoboCop, give this a go.
