This being a fairly meh FPS will probably make XCOM look pretty good for at least trying to incorporate some aspects of the original.

So the initial response to this game has been that the first level of singleplayer is ace and then it becomes monotonous shooter with crappy guns and near complete uselessness of the "dart-6" chip that is supposed the whole point of the game. If the level design flunks, it is hard to save.
Otherwise, the Mp-side of things has been heralded as quite awesome with true difficulty that requires cooperation. It also includes the dart-6 thing better. Problem being that you can't play it on higher difficulties if you are just meshing it out with randoms.

After reading: (

To quote the article "
In Syndicate '93, you're a knowing and driven overlord, calculating your own method of achieving an ultimate objective. In Syndicate 2012, you're a walking gun who follows preset waypoints until he gets to the cutscene.And then this bit: "
No strategy. No subversive sadism. No roleplaying. No inhabiting the dark powermonger fantasy. No sense of world. No stomach to stick to its ‘you are the bad guy' concept. Just a man with gun running through a series of doors. A My Little Pony game would at least be about something."
Apparently the CO-OP is pretty good, but its the singleplayer that matters to me.

Bit of a damp squib then.

I was hoping for an FPS/RPG hybrid, even if it was fairly linear and light on the RPG elements, but the RPS reviews make it sound like a fairly meh shooter.

Yeah. Shame. :/

Hmmm. Their attitude seems to be that resurrecting the IP didn't work, not that their unwarranted and immense deviation from its original format lost them the crowd they could have had champing at the bit for it. My bet is that they'll just stick to safer IP rather than acknowledge that trying to sex everything up isn't the answer.
