This game is very entertaining. Although it is a little less realistic than its predecessors, Raven Shield boasts better AI, and provides the player with an impressive arsenal of weapons to destroy things with.

I'd like to warn you now though: this game can suffer from a wide range of peculiar bugs and malfunctions, namely, bad CD keys and in some cases a reduced ability to connect to online games. My biggest complaint is the integration of Punkbuster into this game. It's software that limits and punishes people who like to cheat during online games with various kicks and bans. However, it often will kick you for trivial reasons and other things that aren't really your fault ("bad" screennames, timed out while trying to update PB clients, etc.). It's disconcerting when you're kicked from a server for every 5 minutes because of some error code you can't understand or remedy. Don't expect any help from Ubisoft or Evenbalance. The former always blames evenbalance, and Evenbalance does not post its phonenumber and will not return your emails -- they don't like helping people fix their glitchy software. Aside from that I have one *IMPORTANT WARNING*: when you connect to an online game, Ubisoft determines whether or not your CD key is allowed on that server. If you get banned, reinstalling will not help...you're just out of luck. Often times, people who get banned from too many servers will craftily sell their useless software to some unsuspecting user over the internet. The game will appear to work fine, but you will soon realize that you've been had when you try to connect to a game server -- from which YOUR CD HAS BEEN BANNED. Ask questions before buying, or you might get ripped off.
