| Killswitch is a game that I loved from the moment I first played it. It is a fun twist on shooting games, giving the player the ability to utilize every inch of cover in their surroundings. I love to be able to roll forward, hide behind a low wall, and fire blind over my head. This game simulates real-life firefights very well. Although the heroes of most stories go in guns blazing and never get hit once, Killswitch shows that a real warrior will utilize his surroundings to overcome the enemy and will be alive at the end of the day. |

| This is a great shooter. None-stop action. Yeah, the character movement is a little wooden, but overall this is a really cool game for shooter fans. Great fire-fights and superb use of cover. |

People have been saying this game sucks, this game is boring, blah blah. The problem is, they have no patience and don't understand what this game is. It IS a shooter. The thing that makes KILL.SWITCH awesome, is the gameplay. You utilize cover to advance (if you don't, you won't last) in this game. The missions are increasingly hard, and they are technical. You need to employ a strategy. Some people who have a problem with that will tell you this game sucks. Well, I say they suck and this game rocks. Once you get INTO this game, you will love it as much as me. I'm dying for a sequal. Pray for it everynight. It's the best Video game I've ever played, and that's saying a TON. If you get good at this game, your friends will watch you kill mother*!%kers with amazement and think you are some kind of a God.
Much like your girlfriend it's Tons of Fun. At least rent it, see for yourself, and if you like strategy, shooters and heartpounding action, you won't be disapointed |

When I first bought this game, I thought it would just be an average, run-of-the-mill military shooter. Man, was I wrong... It started out simple enough, with a basic training simulator. As I progressed on, I quickly mastered the easy-to-follow controls. Then, they introduced the "cover and fire" technique, and I was impressed. It seemed especially realistic when I felt the recoil, and the element of blindfire. Ready and waiting for some action, level 1 began. I fought through the first few levels, amazed at how intelligent the AI was. "Take cover or be eaten alive by bullets? That's just like real life!", I found myself thinking. At first I expected the AI to just stand there and get shot (i.e. the Ratchet and Clank series), but they worked as a team, switching off between laying down suppressive fire and advancing. They utilize every technique which you are given, PLUS they have teammates. I soon learned how the health works, by depleting quickly and then refilling to a set max, similar to Call of Duty 3. Then came level 3, one of my favorites. I quickly ran into the level, then sensing an enemy presence I took cover behind the first crate, and exactly as I did this, shots came out of the window in front of me. I took the enemy out, and advanced around the corner. As I kept advancing down the street, each few feet triggered a new wave of enemies, each with impressive technique. As I turned and hid behind a truck, a helicopter came out from behind a building and swept over me, unloading with machine guns. I then realized this was no ordinary game; it was an experience. when level 4 came, it was sort of fun to see 2 guards having a conversation about someone dying on a tanker "just like this" when they were on guard duty (A nod to Metal Gear Solid 2). From then on, the levels got progressively tougher, causing me to have to restart several times on certain levels (the one where the tanker is about to explode, the first Aztec temple level and the 2nd to last level, just to name a few). In fact, I had to get my brother-in-law to help on the last Aztec temple level with the intelligence base (even though I think I was the one to beat it in the end). The story is intriguing, revealing one part at a time with each passing level. Although it is complicated, by the end you start to see the whole picture, and it hints toward a sequel. This game is excellent, has clean and crisp sound, and it feels nice to be the bad guy for once. A multi-player feature would have made this game even better, but I'm assuming if they make a sequel, it'll have two-player. Another thing I would have liked is maybe including a rocket launcher in the arsenal, and maybe another sniper rifle, or a type of handgun. The graphics are impressive with silky-smooth animation, and the weapons you do have are powerful. Now, let's break it up into Pros and Cons:
Pros-
Impressive AI
Great Graphics
Clean Sound
Good maps, scenery is amazing
Awesome gameplay, feels like you're right in the battle
10 Great weapons
Intriguing story, with a mysterious plot that makes you want to know more
You get to be the BAD GUY!!
You feel unstoppable, like superman with a gun
Well-thought controls
Plenty of levels
Cons-
Lacks a multi-player feature
Could have used more weapons, and greater diversity of weapons
No playable vehicles
Limited replay value
Now, onto the scores
Graphics: 8.5
Gameplay: 9
Sound: 9.5
AI: 9
Story: 7.5
Overall: 8.7
BUY THIS GAME!! Don't hesitate, try it out! You won't regret it, and if you don't like this game, you can always "trade it in" at Game Stop. |

| Developed by Namco in 2003 for playstation 2. As a relatively straightfoward action game, and short one, at that the most distinguishing characteristic of Kill Switch is a mechanic that has your character taking cover behind objects and around corners - like Winback some years before the third person version of Namco own Two Crisis series. |

 "This game SUCKS!" | 2005-02-22 |

| I should of listened to the reviews on here. I dont really like games like MEtal Gear Solid and all those Ghost Recon type games because they are just too damn hard for me. I just like shooting and thats what I thought this game was, which it is. The problem is it actually gets pretty hard. There are no check points in any levels so when you die you start all the way back at the beginning and on some levels thats tough because you just barely get by on some parts. Another bad thing is you get killed very easily. Your health drops rediculously fast when someone is shooting you. Also the grenades suck. Everytime I throw a grenade it either lands just a little behind them and doesnt kill them when it explodes or they jump away from it. The first two levels make it seem like an easy game but this game soon becomes a nightmare that I really wish I didnt waste my money on. |
