5.5 Presentation
The menus have a 28 Days Later look to them that sets an eerie tone, but the half-baked story, repeating enemies, lame NPs and blah levels kill the mood.
6.5 Graphics
When standing still, the game looks good with its grotesque creatures, but the framerate drops, the screen tears and pop-in sucks.
6.5 Sound
It's forgettable, but it never felt lacking … or noteworthy.
6.5 Gameplay
Running and shooting works well, but you'll never feel connected to these characters and that means you'll never have that need to sit down and play.
6.0 Lasting Appeal
You'll steamroll through the game's six episodes in no time and need to rely on achievements, 48 hidden dossiers and the blah multiplayer mode to bring you back.
6.2
Passable OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
