It seemed to be approached quite seriously which is a shame, it was very refreshing to play an old school, gung-ho mindless shooter again. I have to disagree about the Veil powers though, when combined with different weapons they added different levels to each encounter. The fact you can stack them (Empower + Mire ftw) is great too, especially once they're upgraded (Mire with the instant-kill proximity attack is a godsend against those invisible enemies). I also loved how a fully upgraded Empower basically made the KAR into the Far Sight (I think) from Perfect Dark. :D Nice to see this game finally getting a bit of love in the press.
