You can heavily feel the Metroid Prime and Halo inspiration in this one, yet they still manage to add their own twists to early 2000's FPS stereotypes.
The best part of the game is the strategic management of your 4 man squad, that's about the only innovation present however. It does massively change the thought process a player has when entering a new battle arena, but unfortunately it isn't integrated as cleverly as it could have been.
Most of the game is thoughtless corridor clearing, but when you do get some interesting level design, the combat really shines through, which is what makes me really wish we got the cancelled sequel.
Not worth playing unless you like Star Wars or are interested in early 2000's games.

Side note: The bonus features explaining how the game was made was hella dope! Even if this isn't my favorite game, seeing developers talk is really inspiring and informative.
