I was hesitant to give this game five stars just because I’ve given every other game I’ve played five stars, I think that is because I’m choosing games I like, so yes, I think it should get five stars. This game is deceptively one of the hardest games I’ve ever played. The game auto-locks on targets and has unlimited ammo and that is necessary because there is so much going on and you have to fight so many enemies at once that if you also had to aim for the shots and reload it would be imposable. I am describing normal though, don’t worry, after you die three times you unlock “easy mode”. I got through 5 levels before I unlocked easy. The story is interesting and fast moving, and the dialogue is funny [strange =)]. Fans of the first game will enjoy playing this one, and people who hated the second game might still enjoy this one. There is not as much of a social aspect, unless there are a few people who are really into the series and would have fun just watching for a while. The graphics are great, very astatically pleasing. The only real draw back to the game play system is that the story is broken into chapters and there is a load time for each level. Over all I have a lot of fun playing this game and I would recommend it to people who like fast-passed action games.

I don't see a second entry for this week. Also, I'd like to see more depth in the analysis of the game. Like specifics relating to details in the media, engine, social atmosphere that you could use in your own design projects.
