The game is set in New York City just as a virus begins to infect people and as the military attempts to put an end to it. The story is focused on Alex Mercer, who has no memory of his recent past. As the game begins Alex has enemy-absorbing and shape-shifting powers. He can take memories, experience and physical forms of enemies through absorption. Alex can also shapeshift into more specialized forms for attack. All of these together are intended to give players multiple ways to complete their objectives.

The Review

       As the game starts out in the prologue, you have a large array of attacks available to you.  These attacks all but disappear as the actual gameplay begins. 
       Control-wise I don't have a lot to really complain about. I really liked how easy it was to get around the city. It gets even better as you progress through the game, purchasing upgrades with the experience points you earn. I really reminded me of the Spider-Man games, with the way you move around the city. You don't have the ability to fly or swing on webs, but you can run incredibly fast and jump extremely high.
      I wasn't able to complete the entire game, but I was able to get more than half of the way through it. The story was interesting enough that I wanted to continue through the game to learn more. As you go through the game there are 'key' individuals that you have to consume in order to either get information about your current mission, get info about your past, to gain a 'costume' so you can enter restricted areas, or operate vehicles or weapons.
      The Onion AV Club gave the game an "A" ranking, calling the movement style "exhilarating" and saying it was a "mature, science-fiction superhero fantasy that somehow makes players feel simultaneously powerful and vulnerable."
      I would have to say that I agree.

Seems it will be a stealth game (like it should be). Looks really good!

 

Ghostbusters!

Game Informer Magazine drops the news on their December world-exclusive cover storyHarold Ramis, Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd are getting back together and revisiting their roles to make a sequel to Ghostbusters 1 and 2 – in video-game form, and we’ve got the first details. Both Aykroyd and Ramis are teaming up for scriptwriting duties and are going far beyond just the typical licensed add-your-voice-to-the-game-you-had-nothing-to-do-with formula. And no, this has nothing to do with the Ghostbusters Zootfly video demonstration that floated around the internet in January. source - Game Informer Magazine
