The high point of character-action combat: dodging at the last instant slows time, which turns defence into the main source of offence and makes mastery feel enormous. Its detractors are right about the pacing — shooting and vehicle sections interrupt the fighting repeatedly, and the original PC port needed patching before it ran acceptably.

The most divisive mainline entry: it opens with hours of orphanage caretaking before the crime plot starts, which is either the heart of the game or a wall depending on who you ask. Okinawa is a welcome change of scene. Combat added enemy blocking that many find frustrating, and the pacing never fully recovers.

The hero is a policeman, talented and devoted to duty. But there is a clarification - this is a dead policeman, killed because of his work, but he did not leave the world, he turned into a ghost and did not lose his passion for investigations. A hero can do many things in our world, but not all.

You play the shark. Eat fish, wildlife and swimmers to evolve, upgrade your bite and hunt the hunters back, all narrated as a straight-faced wildlife documentary. The B-movie tone is the appeal and it commits to it. The recurring complaint is technical rather than creative: crashes, stutter and startup failures on modern Windows come up constantly, even from players who finished it.
