fuck yeah look at that rating chart now that's what i'm talking about
2013
probably doesn't warrant a 5 but it's the definitive handheld fps before the switch made the novelty of the idea obsolete, that's gotta be worth something
2009
perfect game, especially the controls
A childhood favorite that I had a lot of fun replaying but that boardwalk is evil
2011
Great game despite ruining the franchise

This really feels like the final breath for the type of linear shooter you'd see in the 360/PS3 generation, warts and all. I miss that type of game, even though playing this reminded me why we moved on from that style. Despite cutting itself short, I was still very invested in this world and quite enjoyed the gunplay. Also I feel like this has a more interesting interpretation of cinematic language than, say, Uncharted, but then the game throws incredibly video game-y bullshit at you like QTEs and hacking minigames and the inherent contradictions of movie-games like this become blinding.
Fascinating disaster. Hard to love but I can't help but appreciate this game's baffling decisions.

I actually really liked this guitar, was rewarding to learn with GHTV. Barely fuckin touched the campaign good god that tracklist is hideous.

Everything in this game feels just a little bit wrong
2008
Every single game of the 360 era desperately wanted to be this game

one of my favorite rougelikes but minus 1/2 a star for the bats
2007
I beat this in one sitting

Incredibly flawed but in terms of shark simulation this is still satisfying. Body slamming boats and then tail flipping people until they explode never gets old.

Loses track of its own premise. Jaws Unleashed may be clunkier mechanically but it better understands the appeal enacting shark carnage than this, which despite reaching for Sharknado absurdity gets inundated with generic upgrades. Ends up feeling like a worse Prototype game. Also, for all the writing dedicated to Chris Parnell’s smarmy narration, nothing in this game is as funny as grabbing a scientist with your mouth and slamming him against a card reader to open a door.
