Well, I hadn't heard a thing about this game so it sertainly was a sleeper hit. www.chasergame.com for screenshots etc.
So, basically it is a FPS done with CloakNT engine set in future 2044. I'd say it is a mix of Solder of fortune, Unreal II and IGI. Huge levels, both indoors and outdoors, great effort put on details and atmosphere, great sounds (music and environment sounds), great looking characters. Enemy AI is not the worst one I have seen.
Guns, looks pretty good, as I'm no expert, won't go into nitpicking about realism. No iron-sights, standard cross point thingie.
One hit kills if in head, body hits, a few rounds if armour. One self also takes damage pretty fast so it is not too easy (I played on normal diff. level) but also not too hard so it keeps the action going. No lean which in these days can be seen strange, but once you get over that you don't really miss it. Just dodge behind stuff etc and utilize the time the enemy reloads.
The story is pretty good, with a lot of twists and turns. The level continuity is also great, i.e if you have to escape from one place, it can take a couple of levels to do so, not just one, and these levels are HUGE, absolutely monsterous, can take up to 1 hour to finish a level (Depending on how sidetracked you get). It is pretty much tunnelish game, i.e only one way to advance, but sometimes it takes an effort to find the exits, but with a bit of logic and carefull searching I had no big issues with that. (only had to resort to a walkthrou once and then also I was like standing on the spot where I was supposed to..)
Anyway, I just love this game, it is fast paced, beliable environments, lots of play time (20-30 hours I'd estimate) and most importently, it is FUN. (atleast I enjoyed it
)
I'd score it at 88%.
