SymbioteVIII

I recently bought the game from the store for 20 dollars and, overall, i like it. the AI is simply fantastic, and even on approximately 3/4 difficulty i had a great challenge ahead of me. the storyline is great, although i haven't played the first SiN so i don't really know how it stacks up. the graphics, like all the games based on the source code, are clear and realistic without causing undo lag or clipping problems as overly graphic intensive games like FEAR and Doom 3 are known to cause.
In fact, the only bad part about this game is its length. i spent twenty dollars (my entire monthly budget for video games these days) on a game that took me 3 hours to beat. twice. weapons were limited to a pistol, a shotgun, and a submachine gun. Likewise, baddies were limited to your standard mercenary soldier (carrying one of the three aformentioned weapons), a minigun wielding super merc, a flying drone, and two kinds of mutated mercenaries. Oh yeah, and a boss mutant, which they use twice during the course of the episode.
I don't regret buying the game, but if they expect me to shell out 20 bucks for every 1 1/2 hour section of their game, they are sadly mistaken. Does anyone else have an opinion, or maybe more information on this?
