Doesn't cut very deep.

This game look great but control badly. There were several points during my time with the game that I couldn't progress simply because Shank simply couldn't respond to my input fast enough to react to on coming threats (grenades mostly) You can tell that the developer prioritised animation over everything else. Despite this, the game remains entertaining and moderately engaging.

It's fairly short, so if you find it for cheap I would recommend it as a brief detraction. Otherwise, get Trine or Trine 2 (less action, but more fun).
