These questions take a back seat to more immediate concerns, such as the packs of Replica clones patrolling countless office hallways or maintenance passageways of the Armacham complex. When examined in terms of what goes into a single firefight, F. To start, many of the combat areas have multiple routes through them, whether it's through a main hallway or a side office, so it's possible to flank enemies -- and they'll do the same to you.

Enemies will hide behind columns and poke out to shoot; they'll duck behind crates and stay behind corners. They'll run from grenades and advance on you when you retreat. In short, the way the enemies react is an order of magnitude better than most shooters, and makes the combat extremely compelling and dynamic, playing out different each time. In terms of weapons, F. Zooming down the gunsights and crouching helps with aiming, and you can only carry three weapons at a time, so you're occasionally forced to make some tough decisions: if you need the rocket launcher, what do you drop?

Your super-powerful Type 7 Particle Weapon? Your reliable G1A2 machinegun? Throw in some offhand grenades and remote bombs, and you've got a lot of options to choose from.

Then there are your character's special abilities. Early on, it's explained that you were picked for the F. You also have a number of melee abilities such as a flying jump kick, and when combined with the SlowMo ability, can produce devastating results. When you put all this together, there isn't a game out with as unique a combat model as F.

The only drawback to all these options is that the controls can get a little unwieldy. While some games stick to jump, crouch and shoot, F. That's a LOT of commands. Personally, I'd rather have more commands than fewer, but I've played space sims with fewer commands than this.

After accidentally hitting the Windows key a few times and getting dumped to the desktop during firefights, I eventually decided to dump the lean keys altogether to place the Medkit and SlowMo commands within easier reach.

The early levels do a great job of setting the mood, with plenty of story and creepy moments and visions that get you wondering what's really going on. You also get a feel for the pace of the game: there's a good deal of exploration in between fights as you try to find your way from place to place, and there are a lot of hidden spots where you might find boosters that permanently increase your health reflex levels. Showing Monolith's sense of humor, I counted exactly one "monster closet" in F.

The game's lone weak spot -- and it's a significant one -- is its middle act at the Armacham offices. For these mid-game chapters, F. All the firefights begin to look the same, all the offices and maintenance passages all begin to look alike there's almost no outdoor combat , and since the enemies are clones, they all look and sound alike as well, save for a few tougher mini-bosses. Phone messages and laptops provide some backstory, and there are some jump-out-your-seat moments, but there's just not enough meat to these levels; you feel like you're being strung along, that it's all a big tease that can't possibly have a good enough payoff.

And then, amazingly, F. Huge revelations are made, and pieces begin to fall into place in ways you probably hadn't imagined. There's still combat against some new enemies in these final missions, but it almost takes a back seat to the story, which wraps up with an eye-popping sequence and a memorable epilogue before cutting to the credits.

Be sure not to quit too fast; there's an important nugget after the credits are done. It's one of the few videogame stories where it's worth rewatching earlier scenes for meanings that finally come into focus, and I suspect it's a story gamers will be talking about for a long while. Of no small consequence is the new graphics engine Monolith created for F.

With dynamic lighting effects similar to DOOM 3, sparks fly everywhere during combat and dark areas are light up as if with a strobe.
