My friend got it for PC yesterday, and we're almost through the whole game.

The portals and the gravity manipulations are pretty cool. The problem is they through out all manner of cool tricks with that stuff earlier on, but eventually it just becomes business as usual, with no really impressive things happening.

Deathwalk is kind of interesting for a while. Once it sets in that you're totally immortal, however, the gameplay becomes a lot less intense, and you start worrying less and less about ammo conservation, not doing stupid stuff, etc. In fact, it gets downright boring toward the end.

The weapons are kind of nifty, but even so, they seem at times somewhat underpowered. The Leech gun was kind of fun, especially when using lighting.

Also, there were some puzzles in the game, but they were pretty easy to figure out, as most of the important elements of each puzzle were lit up, or indicated to the player in some other way.



Really, this is more of a rental-type game. The single player game is pretty short, and there's some very cool stuff in the beginning, but you can only see that same stuff over and over again so many times before it becomes tiresome and routine.
