  • To play or not to play?(not to play) 2005-11-27 One word, SUCKS but I will take the time to explain (in what little detail there is)how stupid this game really is.OK first of all bad controls ,your pressing 1 button to use wall cover and another to fire while hittng up,all at the same time!!!Next low variety of weapons 3 or 4 at the most (splinter cell is an exception!)Last but not least ,graphics easily the high point of this idiotic peice of trash,and they still look terrible!!!
    Look take it from me stay away from this.......thing as much as possible,even if their giving it away for free!!!trust me.
    FLIP THE F***ING KILL SWITCH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2005-10-30 Kill.Switch....This game is simply amazing. The graphics aren't too shabby, especially for 2003. It's the attention to detail in the graphics that is astonishing. For example: I shot from my cover and killed a man that was about 10 feet away. When he fell his gun fell out of his hand and bounced a bit and it leaned against the wall after it bounced and wiggle....THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD DO IN REAL LIFE!!!! The blind firing techniques are a definate perfecting to put into a game. I'm suprised no other game developers have gotten smart and used it. Too damn bad for them. Anyway, the gameplay is solid. Nonstop action. Shooting every which way just to stay alive. This may make you think that the game is unrealistic....yeah, IT'S NOT!!!! Take a couple well placed hits from any enemy and you're dead, especially the mounted turrets. They created the game in such a realistic way that you MUST use your cover in order to survive. here's no option. You either use it or you die. Which takes us to the OCS (offensive cover system). This enables u to get against basically any surface and use it as cover. When there, you can lean out and shoot accurately at your attackers OR you can use the newly created feature that works with the OCS: Blind fire. This is when you stick your gun out the side of your cover and fire it without looking. It keeps you from getting hit, but it is also about as accurate as something very inaccurate. But it helps many time throughout the game....MANY TIMES!!!! about 9 guns and 4 types of grenades. This game rocks mt f***ing socks. get it. It's cheap and well worth the small amount u pay for it.
    The REAL Fast and the Furious 2004-12-01 Kill.Switch is not a bad game at all. It reminds me of the Bruce Willis platform game Apocalypse. In fact it is probably one of the best 3D Platform shoot `em ups you can get your hands on. You play Bishop, a sort of Metal Gear Solid's Solid Snake x Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher with more firepower than both combined. In fact that is what kill.switch is - one big free-for-all GUNFIGHT.

    The story is actually confusing and told in flashback style (some flashback shots are cinematically realistic). Bishop is an ultra-tech Soldier and who is married to Lynn Takamura - a Neural Interface designer for some weapons tech firm. Bishop was supposed to execute a terrorist called Archer but failed. Archer came back to kill Lynn and to take control of Bishop's neural technology sending him about the globe committing terrorist acts of violence. Eventually Bishop finds a way out from Archer's control and goes to take Archer down himself.

    Having said all of that, the gun fighting is first rate stuff simply because the enemy AI is the best seen in any game of its kind. The enemy is smart and moves accordingly. They will take you down by flanking you or sending a grenade in your direction. One or two hits are all it takes and you will go down. So you need to use the environment and this is where kill.switch scores in aces. As you hide behind something you can blind fire on the enemy with several different weapons to choose from or you can lean around the side, sight someone and shoot them. The detail in each level makes this one an essential purchase for the XBOX user. It pushes the PS2's graphics quite a bit (now and again the FPS stalls).

    So kill.switch plays like you would expect it too - run around various levels (there are 5 major levels divided into two parts each) shooting the enemy and diving behind boxes as you blow things up. Sounds boring or unoriginal - yes, maybe - but kill.switch does it all so furiously. Once you start firing and throwing grenades and dancing about the obstacle pulling off headshots with some blind fire you will see how enjoyable all of this really can be and for that kill.switch is all golden 5 stars.

    However it does have some negatives. The story is simply very hard to understand and makes no sense. The zooms are not very deep on the gun scopes meaning that you do not really get to zoom around and see the awesome sights that they have designed. It could have done with better zooms. It was absolutely terrible that they did not make more objects destructible. You couldn't even shoot up things like tables and chairs. I didn't see a single wall blow out in the game.

    In the end I would not really purchase this unless you like blast em ups. If blast em ups are your thing then do not even think twice about this review. Stop now and go pick up kill.switch. It is insane live fire from start to finish. You will get a bang for your buck. However if you are looking for a game that might do something other than that (forget any type of Splinter Cell objectives or Metal Gear Solid coolness) then I suggest you go look elsewhere.

    Pros:

    - Furious action. Non-stop suppressing fire.
    - Amazing enemy AI. The best of any game out there.
    - Highly detailed graphics.
    - Blind-fire. A very cool option.
    - In terms of action this is what MGS and SC want-to-be but are not.
    - Cuts scenes are realistic.

    Cons:

    - There appears to be no screen size adjustment.
    - Short. Really only 6 to 8 hours of start to end game play.
    - No environmental destruction.
    - Extremely limited objectives.
    - Story makes no sense.
    Worst game ever 2004-11-04 This is by far the worst game I have subjected myself to. There is no main plot to the game. I want the time I spent playing this game back. The game was just terrible
    This feels like a 1990's game.... 2004-07-06 There is nothing too special about this game. You can't jump or climb onto anything. Your movement is restricted is some cases. It's kinda cool how you can do the blind fire behind cover, but it does not do much good during combat, it just looks cool. The graphics are NOT updated and are jaggy and the movements are very robot like when running or jump-rolling. It feels like the game was rushed some how in production. The voice overs are not that good, and it does sound like the same voice doing two within the game...what's up with that? I would rent this game before buying it...or at least buy it CHEAP.
