KEY POINTS:
Herald rating: * * * *
Pros: Explosive action and plenty of ugly monsters to kill. The levels are varied and the game mechanics are good whether you're on foot or driving a robot.
Cons: Some of the cut scenes are dreadfully slow, the dialogue is hammy and the story is bland.
Verdict: Global warming is the least of your worries in this sci-fi adventure tale which delivers solid action but appears slightly anaemic after Gears of War.
Censor's classification: 16+
