Amazon.com Fracture advances players to the year 2161, where the effects of global warming have altered the planet?s landscape, and a clash in ideologies over human enhancement places society on the threshold of war. In utilizing the core gameplay mechanic of Fracture, a destructive next-generation technology known as Terrain Deformation, players are equipped with an arsenal of futuristic weaponry to strategically reshape their surroundings on the fly. Every action they perform dynamically reshapes the earth in ways no videogame has ever seen. Players set foot on the frontlines of this epic conflict in the role of Jet Brody, a demolitions expert fighting for the Atlantic Alliance, who rely upon cybernetic enhancement. Pitted against the genetically enhanced soldiers of the Pacifican army, players will experience a revolution in 22nd-century warfare. When Brody throws a tectonic grenade onto a level battlefield, the ground blasts upward providing access to otherwise unreachable areas or providing cover against approaching enemies. Surrounded on all sides by Pacifican forces, Brody heaves a vortex grenade, creating a swirling tornado-like mass of boulder, dirt and debris to dispatch his foes. These are just a few samples of the possibilities for Terrain Deformation. Players not only change the battlefield ? they change the face of the battle itself. Reshape the battlefield with terrain shattering weapons: Experience a dynamic battlefield that is unique every time you play. Use never?before-seen weapons to fracture, crater, freeze, or elevate the earth. Unleash a subterranean torpedo toward your enemy and literally blast the earth from beneath his feet. For the first time, players can mold a war zone for an advantage to push the attack or mount a defense. Experience a story of betrayal and revenge: Follow the journey of a patriotic Atlantic Alliance soldier when an act of treason launches him into the lethal battlefield of the 22nd century, as forces wage a battle of genetics vs. cybernetics. In a war that divides loyalties and tests the bonds of country and family, this soldier?s discoveries will ultimately decide the fate of North America and perhaps the world. Multi-player & co-operative play allows the terrain deforming battles to rage on: Choose the side of the genetically enhanced Pacificans or the cybernetically powerful Atlantic Alliance, then jump online and exploit your chosen sides advantages as Terrain Deformation and Genetic vs. Cybernetic elements allow for endless hours of fun with friends online. Fight for control of familiar locations and landmarks: The last World Wars were fought in Europe, but the next great global war will be fought on American soil. Battle in famous locations across the United States. Defend the Atlantic Alliance in Washington, DC, fight the decisive battle for control of Pacifica in the basin of the now-empty San Francisco bay and uncover the secret that will determine the world?s fate in the Southwest Desert.

  Probably going to be a rental October 9, 2008 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Since there are no reviews for this game, I've decided to write one for all the people thinking about playing it. Keep in mind that its been a while since the last time I wrote a review, so here it goes. To start, I'll just give a number review then explain why. 6.75/10 First off, if you like action third person shooters, then this is definitely a game to check out. There is a constant flow of enemies to take out with plenty of interesting guns and grenades that do some amazing damage. The terrain gun is used primarily for giving yourself cover and also to solve the many puzzles the litter the game. The game also looks amazing in HD, sights and sounds are great. The problem that I had that occasionally might ruin a game for me is story. The story just felt a little boring. But dont get me wrong, the concept of the way we treat this planet cathing up with us was interesting, and the ideas of what might happen to our country in that time were good too, but I just didn't feel for the characters as much as I would have liked. It is first and foremost a action shooter with the twist of a terrain deforming gun. So its worth checking out if this is your type of game. I liked it, but with so much more games coming out in the next two months, this might have to be one of those rentals.
  A simple review October 9, 2008 5 out of 10 found this review helpful
This game is purely influenced by three games. Halo, Lost Planet, and Mass Effect. But not as good as either one. When you play it it becomes very very apparent. If you ever wondered what Halo would be like as Lost Planets 3rd person shooter this is it. It's very contrived. It has the same Halo shooter jumping around like a Kangaroo game mechanic. It is challenging to take someone down like Halo and Lost Planet as everyone is shielded. That's where you have to develop your skill. Instead of Lost Planets grapple and summersaulting you have the entrencher which enables you to deform the landscape which is cool. It is the games only saving grace otherwise it would be very generic. It looks like Mass Effect and it seems like Mass Effects lost multiplayer. The weapons are more similar to Mass Effects weapons. I would like to give it 3 1/2 stars but I will error for 4 instead of 3. A lot of people are going to hate this game. If you love Halo but you are bored with it you will probably like this game for awhile but not forever. It seems like that was the game developers target audience. Bored Halo players. And it's Halo players that dominate this games multiplayer. If you don't like Halo or Lost Planet don't buy this game. It is not for you. It could just as well be a 1 or 2 star game. It will all depend on your mood. Play the demo before you buy it or even rent it. It will be the best indicator if you will like it or not.
