Well I thought so anyway.
The game was a ton of fun. Lots of exploring and fun things to do but aside from that there's not much that kept me coming back. I do love the locations and the look and feel of the game.
The way all the islands look and how you move about is simply fantastic. But that I'm afraid is window dressing. All you seem to do is explore from place to place, shoot anything that moves that isn't already shooting at you, and that's about it. Then the game ends when you finish the last level in the Volcano.
Some of the atmosphere is also good. One scene in particular when you are in a tunnel like area and these monsters called Trigens jump out at you. That does kinda scare me sometimes when playing this, and it's not that often a game or such can do that.
There are some frustrating parts in there for me too like one part where you venture into what looks like a kitchen area with mercenaries in it. They'll shoot you but you can take them out, then from in the back of the room out a toilet door hordes of these monsters jump out at you making it a little hard to kill them all and escape unhurt.
But I had to keep returning to this spot and kept trying, and eventually did beat that level.
Overall can't say I didn't have fun but would have liked it had they given the game a bit more story and that would have helped make the islands feel that much more real.
