Gameplay
This game is more directed at the younger generations of gamers, it reminds me of a game i used to play on PS2 (Name unknown) and is quite enjoyable when you get into it. The ease of play is very good so that's why i assumed it was directed to a younger audience. But this can be played by anyone really who has half an hour to spare. It's not the type of game I'd play on a regular basis, but it is fun when i do play it. The physics in the game are actually quite good for the type of game it is, and I like the fact that they have actually tried to make ot good instead of doing a half assed job of it.

Graphics
The graphics are terrible, let me say that from the start. Everything is flat and looks like a early Nintendo game. But this didn't bother me too much as it doesn't need good graphics to get the fun factor out of it. The one thing that did annoy me a bit thought was that it doesn't support 1920x1080 resolution, which should be a must for PC games. The textures are very low in detail, ever when you enable the high res textures, so god only knows what it's like with them off. The player detail is the best part about it really, at least he has some normal shape to him.

Controls
The controls were fairly easy to pick up, but the on screen instructions are not much help at all. But since this game has some and other games of this sort don't. I can't mock them for that. It uses the simple WASD for movement with SHIFT for sprint/slide but all the fire/hit actions are done with the arrow keys, which took me a while to figure out properly.
