Good review. Actually, I was just about to review this one, but you said pretty much everything I was going to say. Overkill has everything going for it, but it's just so easy - even the director's cut. The only thing that saves it is the Official Hand Cannons, which must be the coolest peripheral ever. I think I might just write a review of them.

One line that confused me a bit was this one:
"Shoot, I don't believe the weapons weren't programmed to deflect bullets, as I've yet to witness it"

"fuck yeah oblivion" - Jihad

Thanks for the comments, Janus. I wanted to mention more, but it would have just been nitpicking. As for the sentence, that is a clusterfu... confusing. I actually meant to say:

"Shoot, I don't believe the weapons were programmed to deflect bullets at all, as I've yet to witness it."

Yeah, the negative comments does seem kind of odd when you're seeing it as a stand-alone action game. I was viewing it as kinda like the Die Hard 2 of the series... it doesn't stand up well to the others, but as a stand-alone action game, it's still nice.

Thanks for replying and commenting on the review!
