EA's other launch title, X-Squad , shares Kessen's lineage as a Japanese PS2 title, but that's about where their similarities end. Not a bad thing, in the least. Everything from the story line to the difficulty level have been reworked for our version, but the graphics and gameplay have largely remained the same. Not a bad thing on either front. Grapically, the game looks good, especially when it comes to player models, which look sculpted of plastic rather than polygons.
Environments range from tight corridors to expansive rooms, all highly detailed.
With any luck that will be configurable in the final release. Consisting of two guys and two girls, each offer different attributes and abilities to the squad, which can come in handy mid-mission. That's the theory, anyhow. Everything aside, the game is fun to play, which is what counts. Action fans will likely be pleased.
