Speaking of this particular event, it felt like a breath of fresh air in the beginning, and a welcomed distraction from the jumping/shooting routine, but the illusion of fun couldn't last for long. Of course the concept of a turbo powered bike in the 19^th century is kind of silly, but this could have still been entertaining if not for its tedious nature. Driving through the same twisted ravines while your teammates are shooting at mindless enemies who can't hurt you, can't keep one wired for too long.

The much praised "vertical" gameplay is nothing more than a grim joke, very similar to Tomb Raider  mechanics, but adding some new features that make it feel quite awkward. You need to press an extra key to climb a ladder or to jump in a specific direction,  and even to release when you're hanging on some girder. It's so unusual, that will frequently result in an untimely death and since the checkpoints are rare, will cause a great deal of frustration.

On the bright side, developers acknowledged this maddening situation and while they did nothing to prevent it from happening, or at least reduce its frequency, made if much easier to cope with it. While being gunned down will toss you back to the last checkpoint, falling to your death will cause you to respawn in the same place and with full life. Suffice to say that anyone stupid enough to play the game a while to notice this, but smart enough to take advantage of this absurd feature, will plummet down in the deepest pit faster then a speeding bullet, when caught in a crossfire.

Enemies can inflict enough damage to kill you in a couple of seconds, but unfortunately they are that dumb that will rarely take the initiative. In fact the AI is so weak, that these serum infected foes will fail to react in an appropriate way even when they are being fired upon from close distance. Their only advantage is that bullets bounce off them most of the time, and you need to deliver headshots at least twice before finishing them off.

While you've got two distinct ways of punching your opponents (most likely never going to use either) there are just a couple of weapons available, and they all are downright atrocious. It's nothing short of amazing how inaccurate these guns can be, and not even the mighty sniper can deliver a finishing blow with just one bullet. Shotguns and explosive barrels on the other hand with reduce any foe to a pile of meat, and only some dismembered limbs will remain after shooting an enemy from up-close.
