Our take on Blake Stone: Planet Strike
The store copy gives substantial attention to new levels, lighting, enemies, and controller support, but offers little detail about the campaign's moment-to-moment structure beyond its level count and hazards. That makes the scope of progression less clear than the feature additions.
