Bought out of a bargain bin, I actually found a small treasure. Yeah the graphics for this game cannot compare to some others, but it more than makes up for that in gameplay and story. It is repetative at times, but you can't just go into every battle with guns blazing. There are times when you do have stop and plan a strategy.
I love the real voice acting. It was fun trying to figure out where you heard those voices before. Also the rock music comes on a erfect times during gameplay and gives a whole new feeling to the action. If you ever get a chance, listen to "Breaking Benjamin" the band in the game.
This is not one of the best action games out there, but it is definatelty above average and in my opinion worth the money.

this game is pretty boring. it is not that bad though, it is kinda fun but weird. although i didn't finish the game yet (and im not even that far), i think the rest is weird. if youre looking for a sci-fi shooter, get halo. if you already have that game, wait until april 18, 2004 and get halo 2. i recomend you not waste your money and don't get this game. although, still, it isnt that bad.
Rating: - Repetitive and Boring
This game is probably the most repetitive and boring game of this genre I have played on the Xbox. While the game looks fairly decent in terms of the background animation, the characters, etc. you'll soon find out that there is nothing new as you progress from level to level. The aliens you fight all look the same. They supposedly learn your fighting patterns and develop new attacks however, I certainly didn't notice anything new except an occassional hop or lunge. If you use the auto-lock feature, you can bascially blast your way through them without any effort or skill. The game is tedious and boring. Rent it first before you waste your money.

Run Like Hell is made by Interplay, a US company.
I have played DeusEx and Noone Lives For Ever on the PC. They are both First person adventure games. As we all know PC graphics cards are superior to any of the game consoles. The graphics in RLH is just as good and better than the graphics in those games. RLH is 3rd person with a camera angle close from behind but it almost looks like a first person adventure. Personally I prefer first person view, but Interplay makes tons of good RPG games where the player interacts with non-player characters the player can control. But RLH still feels like first person because the camera is so close behind the player character. It is easy to pan the camera simultaneously while running and moving around. The people who have problems with the controls are in my opinion physically very uncoordinated. If you don't believe the graphics are good, just go to your local video store and play a tutorial session in Run Like Hell.
I read so much untrue garbage about RLH; I begin to wonder if people are deliberately malicious. It is a Sci-Fi game with very good graphics. It isn't 100% verbatim copy of the real world, but the game world is very believable and you immerse yourself into the story. The story and acting is good. There are flaws, but they are not irritatingly visible and don't take away from the story.
Game play is easy; most enemies can be killed with your rifle. Be sure to upgrade it to max power, or use cheat codes to get max power. But this game is all about the story. A few puzzles are sophisticated and original, but most puzzles are easy. There are no more than 20 key codes in the game for doors, elevators, computers, airlocks and control panels etc. You don't have to look far for the codes. If you enter every room on your way, you automatically find all codes as every place to look have exclamation marks marking their spot. Many doors are jammed making it very few rooms to enter.
Rating: - Those who wrote positive reviews must work for Vivendi
This is the absolute worst game I have yet played for XBox. The graphics are so-so at best during gameplay and a complete joke in the cut-scenes. (Vivendi animators should be ashamed- I've seen better cut scenes for N64!) The limited and awkward control settings make the game difficult to play. The bad guys are just Alien look-alikes (as in the Alien movies), yawn. Worst of all is the lame combat. Just let your gun "lock-on" automatically and keep pushing the button. No real skillz involved- just point somewhere sorta in the general direction and shoot. Don't believe the above reviews who say this game was great- they can't have played the same game I did.
