When this game was first advertised I was expecting big things, yes it may be only a XBLA title but I was expecting better. The game lacks in many things, the story was good however but the game in general was pretty bland, when advertised it shown more of a survival side of it but once it was released most of that kind of got thrown at the window, you will just find yourself climbing up loads of things to discover nothing and even the climbing was pretty bad as it takes up a lot of stamina which can become a problem due to the lack of resources that can be found-- I played half way through Normal difficulty then soon gave up due to it seeming quite impossible for me. You could try walking round to discover whatever you can but will soon lose health from the nuclear surrounding, so you get a gas mask but the same thing happens as if Ubisoft just added it for show.

 The game however does have some pretty good graphics which may be one of the only big plus sides along with the story, and the sound isn't too bad either. Ubisoft really have let themselves down with this game as it did not live up to it's expectations. The game also has a pretty strange retry system, when the game first came out let's say you only had a quarter of your health left and no stamina items to use, you die then use a retry then suddenly you would have full health again with stamina items even though you would spawn in the same place you was just before you died. The game sometimes wouldn't take away a retry if you died as I died twice but still said I had three retries, but when I died again it made it clear I had none left thus meaning I had to re-load from the last save, I'm not sure if this was just a problem for me or a serious error on behalf of Ubisoft.

So if your ever on the XBOX live marketplace looking for a fun, enjoyable game I would avoid this due to it being pretty buggy and crashes pretty often during game play and loading screens. But if you really want to experience a interesting story of how a man is looking for his wife and child then do buy it but I still stand by what I said do not purchase this game.

Finally, This game was up for quite a few XBLA awards soon after releasing so I would like to know anyone Else's opinion if this game is REALLY worth any kind of award and if anyone else can list why this game is not worth a purchase? Ubisoft should really think about making this game again to make it live up to it's name when first being advertised, as this game was basically being class as a "strong ten" game but no, I'm being generous and giving this game a "Mediocre six"

Thanks for the heads up.
Nice review.
Keep em coming.
Peace out.
