We took Midway for granted, we really did.

While this didn't remind me why games are great quite as much as Chicago studio's previous game Psi-Ops; it is nonetheless a rip-roaring good time that put spectacle and action movie power fantasy before all else. The rag doll physics, the destructible uhhhh everything, the bullet time - it's everything you'd want from a 'be in the movie' type of shooter.

For the most part, the game's simplicity is tremendously charming. There isn't much to the gameplay but the levels are well designed enough, with enough contraptions to send your enemies flying through, that you won't really care.

Even with a relatively short run-time, the boredom does start to set in in the final third as bullet spongey enemies and a lack of fresh objectives take their toll.
