DESCRIPTION

Fracture is a futuristic first-person shooter whose "hook" is being able to freely transform the landscape with your weapons. In the year 2161, the continental United States is divided after a seismic event topples the country's central region. The government is no longer in power, so organizations on both sides vie for control with the backing of sympathetic nations abroad. The main protagonist is Jet Brody, a soldier fighting on behalf of the Atlantic Alliance. He will confront genetically enhanced troops from the Republic of Pacifica in a series of battles that will take him across what's left of the U.S.

Rather than simply blast enemy troops throughout each environment, you must also solve puzzles using your high-tech weapons. Barriers blocked with rubble can still be traversed simply by shooting at the ground and creating a subterranean tunnel. High destinations can be reached by shooting at a patch of land to create hills of varying size. In addition to removing and building areas of the landscape, you can also create temporal disturbances such as a mini black hole, which will suck everything near it into its gaping maw. Grenades, missiles, torpedoes, and other high-powered weapons can all be used to manipulate your surroundings in surprising ways. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“I wouldn't recommend buying it for $60 bucks if you want to rent it or can find it for $5 like I did get it. I haven't tried online and don't expect it to be great.But for the single player game its actually not that bad.Very creative use of weaponry not seen in any game I've played before.”

XBox 360 doesn't like your real life friends by: SINZAR

“I find the trend of online multiplayer only games disturbing. Is this an XBox 360 only issue, or do games that are released across all consoles have different multiplayer options? As in, online...”

“If you don't like multiplayer-only games, don't buy them. It's not an XBox-only "issue," as well. And, here's a question, if you want to play against RL friends, why are you concerned about multiplayer abilities? That doesn't really seem to make sense to me.”

“"If you don't like multiplayer-only games, don't buy them"

Classic. Such a simple rebuttle to any complaint ever put forward. Doesn't really address the issue at all, it's simply telling me not to share my opinion which, of course, differs from yours.

"if you want to play against RL friends, why are you concerned about multiplayer abilities? That doesn't really seem to make sense to me.”

That doesn't make sense to you, and this doesn't make sense to me. I don't know if you misread or misunderstood but my point is that if developers are going to put in online multiplayer, why not include offline as well? In fact, offline multiplayer should be the primary focus with online coming secondary. The majority of gamers don't play online after all....”

“I just started playing Quantum of Solace--I'm curious what you mean by being able to play offline multiplayer: do you mean with multiple TVs and Xboxes via a LAN, or with split-screen?”

SINZAR was the last to comment - 6 months ago...

“@onemorehour - Offline as in no network required. QoS was a pretty fun game but once I beat it, I put it away never to play it again.”

onemorehour was the last to comment - 6 months ago...

“@SINZAR Yeah... I just beat the single player campaign and I'm not sure if I'm going to go back and do it again. The achievements were pretty easy to pick up, and it doesn't feel like there's much left to do...

It is interesting that lots of console games have stopped implementing split-screen in this generation. Now that consoles are networked, I think that there's an expectation to implement online multiplayer first and foremost. It may be simply a matter of diminishing returns--these particular types of games try to push the console to its limits to provide the best possible graphics for a target resolution. I'm sure this makes it technically difficult to implement a good split-screen multiplayer experience, and developers may simply think it costs more than the value it would bring.

I agree, though, that it's a shame. I have many fond memories of 4-player goldeneye (even though I'm sure I would shudder if I tried playing it now--each player got 160x120 resolution!).”

“Well, as a counter example there's Left 4 Dead, which lets you play online splitsreen (so, it's 2 player, not 4 player), and Halo 3. Actually, most games I own let you play with a friend on the console.”
