XB Pariah review:5 stars (The best game you've never played) - This one of those games that went sadly under the radar. If you liked any game from the Doom, Unreal, Half-Life, or Halo series. You'll find something cool here.

Now I'm not an FPS guy by any stretch of the imagination, so the fact that this game got my attention is worth notice.
First off we all have our different styles of shooting people and dealing with fragfests. Pariah acknowledges that by allowing you to mod your weapons to fit your styles.
Snipins your thing? max it out with enhanced vision, armor piercing and and expanded clips? Stuff like that. The only bad thing about this is it kind of makes the AI weak around endgame.

Levels are large, expansive, and interactive to a point. many things can be shot at and blown up.

The story I think takes a step in the right direction as far as believable storylines go. You're not Mater Chief fighting the entire covenant or saving the world or something. You're an army doctor who has an authority problem and got shot down by scavengers and through exploration finds the truth about his virally infected patient. Throughout the whole thing your main goal is two-fold, protect your own ass, and protect your patient, Karina.
Vehicles. Eh. Hindered the gameplay. I got in them because the game said I had too, not because I wanted to.
Multiplayer is awesome and takes a step in the right direction for those of us who like doing things are own way. You can create your own maps much like you could with Simcity or Tony Hawk, you have list of objects and tools for terrain editing and scenery, and it's very straightforward. Pro modders or level designers may look at this as watered down or babied version, but most of us aren't either of those things, so it shouldn't be a problem.
The saving is checkpoint style, which apparently gets some people wound more tightly than a noose in a tree, but really isn't bad. They are mostly frequent enough that if you do die You'll remeber exactly where you had to go and what to do so you don't die. Some of them are too far apart, usually the first one in a level is the hardest one to get to.
Really, the only bad thing is that this things has gone the way of Beyond Good and Evil.

Basically, if you want a shooter that's innovative, fun, and a break from the norm, then go buy this game now. If want the same cookie cutter halo bullcrap we've been seeing these few years, well then you just wasted time reading this review.5 stars (What the Heck?) - First off, I would like to say that I'm usually critical of most games. Having read all the crappy reviews for this game I almost didn't rent it. After the first ten minutes of playing I was hooked and didn't put the controler down until the credits rolled. This game is non-stop action from beggining to end. I love first person shooters and I love this game. For crying out loud don't compare it Halo 2. This game can stand on its own 2 feet. I highly recommend this game. Oh, and for all the people that have said the graphics suck, they need to get their eyes checked... 5 stars (priority radar ALERT!!!!!!!!!!) - ok, for one, im not sure why everyone is so hard on this game!!!
its a fun FPS,(more fun than the legendary halo 2), well, so you cant dual wield but would you rather dual wield... Or shoot four heatseaking missiles which yes can be fired at 4 different targets. Overall good storyline. if you get tired of mission mode, REEK HELL in multiplayer against bots!!very fun game, dont get why every body gives such a hard time. i'll admit, i was unsure at first about 'PARIAH', just cause' it was'nt on my top priority list at the moment, but the mapmaker tempted me, sorta' like someone saying, touch me and you DIE!!!,i was curious ;)
mapmaker is fun and more or less easy to do,
dont let this slip off your priority radar please, good game!!!!
thanks for taking the time to read this review,
