Ably emulates the experience of watching a mid-budget action blockbuster, which is mostly a compliment short of the nagging feeling that this had very little reason to be a video game. Shuffling between your characters for brief snippets of conversation is fun, especially as you start to get a bead on their personalities, but the extreme linearity and simple puzzles keep this from feeling like an effective example of the medium. A small portion plated very handsomely.

An extra half-star for the inexplicable placement of a pixelated Sliding Doors poster in the middle of a South American military base (original to prove I'm not insane), which surprised and delighted this gay weeb cinephile of a certain age. Eat yer heart out, Kojima.
