[quote name='drawingboard']I rented this a few weeks ago from GameFly, and here's my quick review:
It sucks.
Seriously, aiming is damn near impossible. You can't hit anyone unless they're standing still. There is no zooming in on enemies, so you'll just have to steady the reticule, and hope that most of your enemies stay within your range (about 10 ft in front of you). The 2nd, mid-level boss on the first level is the hardest part of the game. The entire 2nd level you'll have no idea where to go, and you'll hardly have any ammo towards the end of it.
If you want this game for the achievements, you'll have to play it 3 times, since difficulty achievements do not stack. Unfortunately, that's 3 more times than you'll want to play this travesty.
Also, the frame rate is horrible, especially on some of the boss battles.
In my opinion, this game isn't worth $10. If you're an achievement whore, it might be easier to purchase than rent, since it will take quite a while to complete 3 play-throughs. As long as you don't have to return in by a certain time (Gamefly instead of Blockbuster), then just rent it. I can't imagine only playing this game for 5 days straight. No one deserves that type of punishment. God wouldn't even damn Satan to play this game.
I don't mean to sound so cynical, but I'm just trying to help anyone that might start playing this. If I can prevent just one gamer from avoiding this torture rack, then I have succeeded.[/QUOTE]
You didn't mention the save system (or lack of). I played this game for about 2 1/2 hours straight- died- and got sent all the way back to the tutorial level. You have to manually save even after you finish missions. And you can save yourself into a corner if you save and your in a tight spot with no ammo. Nothing you can do but start all the way from the beginning.
Oh, and by the way- my copy of Infernal is for sale for 8 bucks through Glyde if anyone wants to take a blind stab in the dark.
