This little gadget on his hand makes the game worth it.

Genre: Sci-Fi

Plenty of things to kill.

                                          What is the game about?

The single player in the game has a fantastic story. Its about you going to an island where the russians in 1950 exsperimented with E-99, which is a new chemical in development. The main character who you play is sent to the island to find the E-99 bomb that if in the wrong can cause devastation to the earth and along the way you uncover the secrets of the island, where there was a catastrophic Singularity that threatens the world.

TMD Device (UPGRADEABLE)

In the single player, you will go against many foes ranging from russian soldiers in the 1950, to futureristic soldiers fighting for the bomb in present time in the game.

Along the way in the singularity you meet plenty of mutants trying to kill you and lots of obstacles to overcome. The game gets properly started when you discover the TMD, which mean Time Manipulation Device. You feel almost invincible when you wear the TMD device, but the only bad thing about this device is that you need to aquire TMD energy and technology parts which are around the island.

The gameplay handles very well. This game is like Bioshock and Modern Warfare had a baby, but not as well put together. It uses slo-mo scenes in the game were you have to eliminate enemeys on the other side of the door and uses bioshock features such as underwater swimming sections. The feature that made this game stand out is the puzzle solving feature, this really makes you think about how to you the TMD device to its full potential.

This game also is similiar to bioshock games with the different endings. In singularity there are three possible endings.

Multiplayer:

In multiplayer, you will have the choice between two modes:

Creature VS Soldier: Basically a team deathmatch.

Extermination: Creature VS Soldiers, but instead capture a beacon or defend a beocon depending on team.

Before you go into a match you will have a set out, which is to choose your class, weapon, and perks.

If you are a soldier you choose the classes which are:

Blitzer: Teleports

Bruiser: Impulse

Healer: Heals

Lurker: Shield

Next in the loadout you will be able to choose your weapon and then perks, pretty standard.

The gameplay is done from a first person style of view.

When you play as the creatures the loadout is slightly different.

First of all you choose your class, which are:

Radion: Heavey mutant, far range.

Zek: Quick and agile, can go phantom.

Tick: Samll mutant. Can climb on walls and posess soldiers and control them. (COOL).

Revert: Medium size mutant. Can puke and kill. (BOOMER OFF LEFT 4 DEAD)

Next you will choose from two perk list.

The gameplay is done from a third person view.

Issues about the game:

The single player was too short.
The multiplayer had many connections problems and bugs, which need fixing.
The multiplayer got a bit repetitive after a while.

Good points:
Fun single player.
Good graphics and gameplay.
Unique storyline.
Lots of replayability.

Overall it was a great game but it should mainly be intended for the single player lovers and not the multiplayer fan. Single player: 8/10  Multiplayer 6/10 Overall review: 7/10

Can you stop the singularity
