The hype is well deserved for Brute Force--I was quite surprised by how much tactical planning you have to do in each mission--do I send Tex up ahead and have hawk sneak up on the enemy in her sleath mod? Or can flint snipe that guard on the crossway down that hill/ Can brutus hold his ground without getting killed? Where is that enemy fire coming from?

This game can becme very chaotic, very quickly! It was chilling to hear my squad cal out for a medic as they were under fire ad saying,"one more hit and I'm a goner..." yeah you can send in the clones, butit'll cost you ome serious doughif you keep messing up. Learning each member's special powers and skills was half the fun! But you can NOT waste them against the AI opponents--they're very, very smart!

There will be Live downloads, but no Live multiplayer--that's the only flaw I have with it. If you have friends over often for a system ilnk throwdown, this game will be very, very popular !

Not Halo (not by a longshot) but not bad either

Brute Force is a decent game and worth buying. But if you are thinking its the second coming of Halo, looks like you will have to wait for the boys at Bungie to finish their current project.

The controls are very similar to Halo - so that does put you at home and the different characters do add some flavor. I played multiplayer for the first time this week. It was fun and some of the maps are very good for multiple players. No vehicles though - which I did kind of miss.

Bottom line - decent game, the graphics are very good. Definitely worth picking up if you are into third person shooters.

This is the best game compared to all the other games I played. If you liked Halo than you will like this game. So far next to Halo it is the best first-person shooter game. If you are thinking about buying this game don't hesitate. I liked it and I hope you will. If you did buy it and your stuck just keep trying and eventuly you will beet it. It took me 2 months to get past a level ,but I beat it then the next one.

solid game

I found this to be a very enjoyable game. It's not without its faults, though: the design of some of the levels is very repetitive, and as such some of them are rather easy to get lost in. I'm not too fond of running around in circles, trying to figure out why my nav beacon is telling me to go left when I've already been left and couldn't find whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing. Also, there are way too many cliffs that it seems like the characters should be able to run up that you aren't allowed to run up. The game's designers should have figured out a better way of sectioning off the closed areas of the game. Still, these are fairly minor gripes, and on the whole I had a lot of fun playing through the single-player campaign. I haven't played the game in linked multiplayer mode, but my guess is that it would be tremendously fun.

Fun but not as good as Halo

The initial reviews set my expectations really high to a point where I was expecting a "Halo quality" game. It is no where close to Halo in terms of video/audio. But it is still a fun game to play especially since there are very few quality co-op games out there.,

I can't wait for Halo 2

I have been longing for a game to match Halo, but this definitely isn't it. I'm always surprised by the variance in the reviews, and equally surprised that this game got any excellent reviews. But, everyone is entitled to an opinion and here's mine.

I came close to buying this game before playing it. Thankfully, I found ample copies to rent and didn't make that mistake.
RENT THIS GAME BEFORE YOU BUY IT.

About the game:
The visuals, such as sky scenes etc. are excellent, and that's about where the good part ends. The game play is jerky and boring. There is no stealth. You walk around a wall/hill and the enemies always notice and shoot you first, you kill that group, walk around the next wall/rock and repeat. The weapon names mean nothing, the shooting action is archaic (from a video game stand point), and each weapon's killing power is unpredictable and inconsistent. You can kill one enemy with two shots across a valley and then blast one ten times right next to you and it will not die. I don't demand a lot of story line out of a video game, but this one is lacking. I found the episodes fighting against Shardoon (spelling?) to be particularly annoying.

For a new game that was hyped, I was disappointed. The quality of this game is only slightly better than Turok. Playing this game was like reading a bad book: I just wanted to get to the end.

It's not everything a tactical shooter should be...

O.k., so maybe I am being too critical but there was a lot of hype associated with the release of this game. After just a few minutes playing, I was certain that you could write a better plot on the back of a postage stamp. All-in-all, though, Brute Force is an entertaining shooter that allows you take control of a small group of specialists as they proceed through a handful of various environments. The story is rather one-dimensional but does get challenging at times. You control one member of the group at a time but can shout orders to the others in the group - if you want. They handle themselves pretty well on their own. This eliminates any real need for the tactical element of gameplay. If you are looking for a shoot 'em up with a pretty good story, Brute Force delivers. If you are more interested in strategy, Brute Force may not be the game for you.

After reading all the reviews,some bad and some good i finaly bought this game hopping it were good.Well after playng the first levels i found out that it is no that good.Attention all gamers and pc-freacks:If some of you probaby played (HALO)and expect to be almost the same,wrong and yes the controls are almost the same but does this say something? Graphic=2 Sound=2 Game exp.=3, and if you want a real Fps. game buy halo or wait for Halo 2.This game its worthy to buy only if you are a beginner in this kind of games and you get it for $10 bucks.

Hey, I reserved this game over a month in advance, and I am glad that I did. I picked it up the day that it came out, and I was hooked at once. It is such a great game, and I even enjoyed the little tutorial practice mission, which I rarely do. If you have any doubts about buying this game, forget about them. THIS GAME IS THE COOLEST!!!

Brute Force is okay, not great

Brute Force is disappointing. It has some good things about it, but when all is said and done it's an average game. The writing is a little dumb. The graphics are not anywhere as cool as Splinter Cell's are and for some reason the 3rd person perspective on Splinter Cell looks MUCH better than it does on Brute Force. The Splinter Cell world looks really cool. The Brute Force worlds look a little ragged and it takes you out of the story. It's not a bad game, but it's just not the game we Xboxers had hoped for. Looks like that won't happen until Doom 3, Half-Life 2 and of course Halo 2.
