Relying so much on a gimmick could go one of two directions: 1. Max Payne - awesome, awesome film noir game, the first to use the Matrixy "bullet time" feature 2. Timeshift - never played it, but apparently the reverse time feature was the only interesting thing about it Perhaps just as interesting as Fracture's terrain deformation is the East Coast versus West Coast storyline. Too bad it doesn't let you pick which side to fight for...

Perhaps just as interesting as Fracture’s terrain deformation is the East Coast versus West Coast storyline. Too bad it doesn’t let you pick which side to fight for…
