Hasn't been updated in a long time and it has some bad bugs in it, especially multiplayer. If they ever fix multiplayer, I'll give it another go and rethink my review.

About the Game

Cool concept, but like many EA games, there is no communication from the developer, and any promised updates have been missed. It was meant to be completed in at most 3 years as the original timeline set... It's been over 3 years, with the last updated being last year, and that being any sort of communication as well. Pretty dead/abandoned at this point. The dev obviously is milking it by setting the game on sale at a rather often period of time.
Not worth the asking price.
Abandoned game, had potential but no news from the developer for over a year.

Join the club if you screamed when you saw the "To be continued" screen. I did not see it coming! I knew the game has never been completed and has had no updates for 16+ months, but I thought it meant some bugs, not a literal cliffhanger. Now, to the review. The available levels on normal difficulty, solo mode, took me about 22 hours. I had two missions where I ran out of lives pretty late in the mission and had to redo the mission from the beginning. I have enjoyed what's available. Getting it on a sale, I have no regrets. Bugs: Twice I got stuck in this game, for the same reason: a digging machine on an elevator got turned upside down, and there was no way to fix it. Had to restart from an earlier save point. Also, in a level where we need to traverse a huge cavern, I reached the bottom and found that there was absolutely no plausible way to climb back up. Also had to restart. Other than that, I have encountered no bugs. I would still recommend it on a sale, but gosh, developers, wak...
missions became repetitive after a few hours, random bugs like scanner not working, and occasional movement clunkiness that causes death, random types throughout in game signs, just kinda sucks.
I like this game it's fun but the developer needs to move his a** and finish the Story Mode, a lot of people have been waiting for soo long it's annoying and also the fact that the developer has been focusing on that multiplayer crap instead of the story is stupid as well!! Hurry the hell up and finish the game!! because of the game being in an unfinished state I don't recommend it!
