this is a great game, once you get over the awkward way of controlling your character. using the D-pad or the 4-buttons, you can move forward, backward, and strafe from side to side, but to actually turn yourself left or right, you need to swipe the bottom screen with the stylus. the stylus also allows you to raise or lower your weapon, or to zoom in on a target. with the sensitivity of the touch screen, its not unusual to zoom in when you meant to turn right, or vice versa. to shoot or throw grenades, you can use either shoulder button. now if you can imagine all this detail combined and coordinated in the middle of heated combat, then you can imagine how it is to play this game.

after you get the hang of the controls, your movement becomes smooth and intuitive and the game becomes almost impossible to walk away from. the graphics, animation, and sound are well advanced for a hand held console. about 80% of what you would expect to be typed text is actually spoken dialog. all the sound effects - from the gunshots, to the explosions, to the enemies screaming in excruciating pain when they are killed - totally immerse you into the game. the graphics remind you of how this game would look on perhaps the ps2. you have unlimited continues from your last checkpoint, you campaign is saved automatically at your last checkpoint.

overall, it's a fantastic game. if it wasn't for the awful controls it would be 5 stars.
