Centurion

Issue date: 4/13/09 Section: Interactive Media

When activated, time slows
down and all enemies who
are in your sight are subjected
to a barrage of bullets as you
empty the two clips you have
already. Once the guns are
empty, bullet time turns off
automatically and you're
back to regular speed.
Not too much of the game's
story is made readily available
in the demo. It's more
about the gunplay and abusing
the bullet curve and bullet
time abilities in the game.
The game does pay homage
to the graphic novel as Cross
in the demo is dressed in
Wesley's "Killer" outfit from
the comic, complete with the
signature mask.
Overall, the demo is pretty
solid and a lot of fun. As far
as the story goes, it appears
that later in the game you
take over as Wesley as he
hunts members of the French
Fraternity, searches for a man
known only as "the
Immortal" and tries to learn
more about his family's past.
The story this time will focus
much more on his relationship
with his mother, whereas
the movie focused on the
relationship with his father.
Look for this game coming
to the PS3 and Xbox 360 later
this month.
Since this article was written,
the full version of the
game came out. Its actaully a
little disappointing, the
gameplay is pretty repetitive
after awhile and the episodes
a relativley short. The hardest
part of the game is when
you're required to use a
machinegun emplacement
and you have to peek over the
protective shield.
Unless you're a fan of the
movie, it's not worth the 60
bucks to buy it.
