Let me first say I am a fan of first person shooters especially those that are story based and not simple running around the same old rooms shooting the same old bots/people. Mace Griffin is a fantastic game with lots to see and do. Its not perfect, its occasionally annoying especially the few missions where you have a time limit but the end result for me is something truly enjoyable. The ps2 is not the greatest console for fps games but you wouldn't know it from looking at this. Some of the graphics are quite amazing and slowdown is almost non existant. Contrast this to early ps2 first person shooters like unreal tournament which moved like treacle and had practically nothing on screen.Whatmakes the game great for me is the seamless transition from space dogfighting to first person shooting. 2 Genres I love. You can be flying through space, manoveure to land into the docking bay of some asteroid, finally land and walk out of your ship and start talking to the person there ready to give you your mission. It creates far more atmosphere like this.Mace Grifin isn't a free roaming adventure though. You have set missions to do and you do them in a specific order. I suppose if I was comparing it to two games it would be combination of wing commander 3 and half life.Graphically at times the viewpoints are stunning. You will get surprised by your foes on occasion and its not the easiest game in the world but for me that makes the game better. The difficulty I find means that most of the time you just scrape through with minimum energy and other times you might have to redo a section 3 or 4 times before you succeed. I would say this is perfectly pitched difficulty. As you get to know the layout it makes the game easier.The game has been heavily influenced by Halo and while its obviously not as technically impressive as halo it does at least never get as boring as some parts of halo. I'm referring to the halo level where you have to follow the ball sized computer around the so called library. Jesus that level dragged where you got constantly attacked by the flood and nothing seemed to change for about half an hour.The worst things about Mace is definitely the bits where you have a time limit. This means for these sections you end up running past the enemy just to make up time. It ends up with some sort of benny hill chase scene with you running and about six baddies behind you. Not really how it should be played and the time restraint means you can't really enjoy the amazing 3D graphics created for the game.Another thing is the complete lack of multiplayer modes. This is a single player game and a single person adventure. Thats what it is and always intended to be. I've seen it criticised for this but don't understand why. Many games come out intended for single players and this is one of them.The end conclusion I have of this game is its breathtakingly ambitious and does the ps2 proud on a technical level. Actual gameplay is excellent almost all the time but some niggles here and there. Sound is generally excellent with pretty good music and excellent voice acting.If you like first person shooters I highly recommend this game.
