Gamers are generally a loyal bunch. If they like a game, they will almost certainly buy the sequel. If that turns out to be passable, they will likely buy the one after that as well and so on. If a sequel surpasses the original, it can create...

The game could almost be called the Good, the Repetitious and the Ugly. Some elements are well done and some are not. Still, this is not a bad game, by any means. There are some immersive elements and you do, at times, feel like you are part of the...
