i thought with the soviet backdrop on top of the time travel gimmick that this would be much more politically, historically and thematically interesting. but it's threadbare; it's a nothing game. it has the makeup of a modern warfare/killzone shooter clone with some half-life type attempt at physics but the shooting lacks pizazz and the puzzles feel half-assed. the time travel stuff also feels years ahead of its time. i don't know what kind of game they wanted to make original but i am picturing a design document that looks like a pristine construction while the finished product looks like homer simpson's grill with the umbrella sticking out of it.
