723082 2008-11-26 05:35:00 I'd like to complain about this review - it says "...you have an arsenal of telekinetic abilities....why your character has psychokinetic powers is never explained..."

Both of these things aren't true. If the reviewer had played the game for more than five minutes he would have realised that your abilities are part of your suit, hence you having to pick up physical modules to gain the abilities, and hence you having to recharge them at power stations (stasis, at least). This was made very obvious in the game and it's pretty subpar to mess this up in the review. I started playing the game today after reading the review and it was obvious to me immediately that the your powers are not supernatural, but part of your futuristic engineer's toolbox.

I may be venting but I'm still right!

723083 2008-11-26 06:11:00 Meh. That's why I never read reviews for games, movies or anything else but PC hardware. Just go out and play/watch it and develop your own opinion from your experience. qazwsxokmijn (102)
723084 2008-11-26 06:23:00 I thought it was a big disappointment anyway.
3rd person - he's often in the way of what you're trying to see.
Annoying stuff like go to X, do y, activate slo-mo, go back to x just so you can perform one action. I hate that sort of "puzzle".
Lame weapons at the start.
