Well, I have beaten it. Good enough game for me to be happy I spent time on it. I liked it better than 4 and Origins, but then I doubt I could like something less than those two. It is not as good as 1-3 if put within their respective times and covered in nostalgia. But they made a lot of good advancements I hope the series continues with.

The story is decent, but probably the second weakest next to Origins. I saw the resolution of the story coming from a mile away. That was a bit disappointing. Most of it is shoved into the very end, too.

(SPOILER)It turns out Alex isn't a soldier after all, though. I guess he has combat prowess because he drinks lots of Mountain Dew. That soda gives you XXXtreme powers.
