Story
Set in a future Earth where the world's oceans have risen to the point where continental land masses can no longer be seen, the only remaining permanent habitation (that we are currently aware of) is an experimental manmade station named 'The Ark'. Initially designed to be a self-sustaining green eco-environment which would house a limited number of inhabitants, the Ark was never intended to hold population in large numbers - however the eradication of terra firma changed all the rules by pushing what remained of civilisation into the water, and what did they do you ask, well they sailed over to the Ark and setup new homes! The rapid expansion in population begun to cause stresses that the Ark was never designed to cope with, and as a result of this certain groups of people started to cry out for change - those cries turned to riots, and eventually a rebel faction was tethered together to lead a revolt. At the point of entering the game things have turned a bit 'Lord of the Flies' with two prominent groups at war with each other, both convinced their opinion is the only way go - one vetoes for order and civility in the station, the other argues to leave the Ark in search of land. Which side are you on? The choice is yours!


Gameplay
Having watched the TV adverts for this, and then watched the game intro when I finally got my hands on it, I couldn't wait to pick up the pad and test this title out. What was actually delivered was very different to what I expected though, to my disappointment. In a nutshell the game is a combination of FPS multiplayer game types (escort allies, defend a location, capture a position, etc.) made over with some decent maps, nice graphics, well considered drama and a refurbished movement/control system. If you're not intending to play this online with human players I'd move along to the next title, as it would be something akin to playing Counter-Strike for 4 hours with only bots - while you still get to play the game it's just not the same. It plays like a mesh between Team Fortress Classic and Left 4 Dead in that you have a team consisting of different members who each have their own skills and abilities, but regardless of player type you are required to work as a team and stick together (players that go off on their own will shortly be shot down and spend the rest of the game waiting for their team to come pick them up again - if they can make it in time).


Graphics
The graphics are fairly decent but nothing ground-breaking. The player models and character appearances are comparable to those in Bulletstorm (pretty sweet - but been done, and a couple of months ago). Maps are much the same in this regard; their only saving grace being that the quality in detail and definition does not diminish in background scenery.


Controls
The controls are easy to get to grips with (box standard FPS configuration) and the game sports its own SMART control system - advertised as a dynamic terrain evaluation engine designed to allow seamless point to point map progression (sounds cool huh). While this system did at times give the game a higher octane feel to it, you are still dependent on your team keeping up - there's little point is flying through obstacles only to be shot down and have to sit and watch the game catch up with you.

Never played a game but when it comes to game you can judge it by its cover. and the cover looks like something most people on TTG could of made.

i think its quite a good game its a team based game its not made for singleplayer. the game is about completing objectives and killing the enemys. you can do some personal objective like hacking a computer or do some team objectives like capturing a place. you can play it solo with bots but it is so less fun. You have to take a seat for this and play with some friends who are serious and will help when you in need. If you die in the game you really wanted to be revived otherwise you have to walk a really great distance.

my advice is if you like team based games and you are a serious gamer buy this game.

Games like black ops and modernwarfar can learn much from this game

This game was fun for the first couple of days. But then it became to repetative. It is the same thing over and over again. They need to come out with new game modes. As of right now you can only play one against the bots. And I hate playing online with others because of all the campers. The campaign was not fun for me so I decided to stop after the first couple of missions.

All in all, I suggest not to buy this game and if you have it then sell it.
