FPS with a Matrix or Tron type of story.

It's really short. I beat it in a few hours, and that included a lot of breaks to throw the ball for the dog, watch a documentary, and so on.

The gameplay is the star, and it's pretty cool. Time moves when you move. It does move when you're not, but very slowly. This gives you time to plan out your actions and really use the environment.

There are three guns: Handgun, shotgun, and machine gun. Each has around 4 shots/bursts. No reloading. You also use your fists and a katana. Oh, and you can toss your weapons and other objects, which is important.

Each level drops you into some situation and you simply have to kill all the baddies. They're very tight compared to other FPS games, and there's no exploration. Picture being dropped into a one bedroom apartment and there's 2 baddies in the main room, and then more who come in after the action starts. That is a good example of a level.

Later you get another ability that helps, which is to swap (and kill) bodies with an enemy. It takes a good while to recharge, so you cannot use it constantly.

There's a lot of die, repeat, die, repeat, etc., but they do it so there's no delay. No worrying about long level loading times and what not.

It's way too short to recommend at anything other than a couple of bucks, but if you like FPS games, it's a must buy at that price.
