Graphics: Superb, neon lit corriders, a rainy forest, an Aztec ruin and a space station make up for possibly the best graphics seen so far on the Gamecube. All this happens in the first couple of hours of play!!! and i'm only 11% complete!!! Bugs are huge and spray green goo on your lens so it slowly moves down, making things harder to see, and everything looks extremly polished. 9/10

Music: Scary in some ways, when you defeat the first boss you have to get out of the space station before the time runs out, here you hear eerie world war type sirens and Sci-Fi beats, fast and very cool. 10/10

Controls: The first level tells you easily how to work the controls and from there it's a blessing, superb. 10/10

Levels: HUGE, but surprisignly the map helps you get around. I've come across all of the above and i'm only 11% complete, this game is massive!!! 10/10

Overall so far: This is not your average FPS, but it's superb, you really can't tell this game was nearly scrapped and in my opinion it's much better then any other FPS, including Time Splitters 2. I really can't pin point on why it's so good, but you really just can't stop playing. Even when you have to go back through the levels you come from it's no-where near boring and you'll enjoy blowng up bugs and not humans!!! 10/10

Any questions?? Ask me and I'LL TRY and answer them for you.....

Why can't I play my copy of Monkey Ball 2 until the Freeloader is released?

Oh hang on. Amazon are Lazy. :D

And yes, I know it's not their fault, or Datel's fault for that matter. So ssh. :D

What is up with that freeloader? I was thinking of getting one, for MP, but then it has never had concrete data.

Why?

I believe it was omething with Datel tryng to get 100% compatability with all games, or something. Still, Amazon have it pencilled in for early December. Possible Christams present, Nick?
