Hats off to all the no doubt incredibly intellectual types who get this sort of game but for average plebian who can only spare an hour or two a day for this sort of thing then I would suggest you stay away.

Nevertheless an absorbing spin on the shooter theme that makes you think and gets you involved with the characters. Well worth the time.
