Once you finally manage to escape from the first episode, the second and all there after are very much a welcome relief. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is another area that's treading on rather uneven ground, most enemies are very clever but can sometimes be a little too agile. It's as though they know when and where you're going to fire the moment your finger presses the button.

Thankfully it's not all like that, admittedly most of the AI opponents adopt a 'run and attack' style of play that's quite heart pounding yet simplistic. However there are also guys whom will run away when hit too much, just be careful because they have a knack for finding other ways to attack you. Some will even follow you over the level if you don't dispatch them there and then. Nothing more frightening than a horde of bad guys you forgot to dispatch earlier, coming back later to haunt you at a crucial moment.

The game continues

With the already noted exception of 'Episode1', the rest of the game can actually be quite a lot of fun. Once you reach Greece the weapons, level design and enemies suddenly become a lot more involving and fun to play. After having been cooped up in tiny dark corridors for several hours, the wide open sandy shores that inhabit this lost world are a welcome relief to any time traveller.
