Pros: 3d is a pro, cool weapons, sounds suit perfectly, great graphics, awesome title screen.
Cons: A bit slow walking and aiming.
Review for 'Mercury'
Now, this tops the last one I reviewed massively.
The graphics were great, Don't change anything you don't need to. Just instead of the weird wolverine claws can you find just a hand with a knife or something realistic? I fell in love with the intro and the title screen, almost literally, the music at the start suited the moment absolutely perfectly. Good thing the controls were displayed in the game without the "press F1" on the bottom of the title screen. Maybe in the complete version write it more helpfully, like "press space to jump" etc. not in all one text box. I found the walking and aiming a bit slow, turning around was basically picking up the mouse and hitting the desk in a circular motion. The weapons were just fun to shoot, awesome. This is both a pro and a con, the really quiet, unfitting background music, both making the game seem like an unneccesary screamer and giving it that edge it needs without getting in the way. that music sounded a bit too bright and happy for this kind of game. When you shoot it's like whoa.
Gave it 4/5 great. Especially for a WIP. I'll be waiting for it's full release, I hope you tell me :).

I don't think the music is too bright and happy. Its actually kind of strange, but it fits the game well in my opinion, it just doesn't suit for background music though.
