I was worried this game would be like Fallout or Far Cry. I held off buying it. When I did play it, it quickly overwhelmed my senses. This game made a virus outbreak in New York feel real. The environment was sensational: cold, dark, uninviting. The controls felt natural and I quickly became a skilled marksman using cover to my advantage. As the story progressed, I was at first confused at all the details. Then those details started coming together to show a story where all the strings meet together in a beautiful weave. Careful level design leaves the player sitting comfortably at high level just as the story comes to a close. Then the game opens up with challenges and new areas. Well done. I am impressed.
