Binary Domain PS3 Review

Binary Domain is a third person shooter for PS3 and X360 created by SEGA.

If you like TPS games like Epic Games's Gears of war for X360, you might proberly like this kind of game.

This story take place in 2080. Bergen's headquarters been attacked by a hollow man with the pistol blaming on members of Bergen's that he didn't realized he is a robot. The UN Security Council believed that the Amada Corporation who created the human like robot known as the hollow child left behind the attack on U.S. The members of Rust Crew such as Dan Marshall and his teammates headed to Tokyo which IRTA ordered them to capture the Yoji Amada and bring him to UN Security Council.
I say the story is pretty sounds decent with some good storyplot and cutscenes. I say the characters concept is not that bad. Dan Marshall and the rest of the Rust Crew members are quite ok'ay and I like the concept of hollow child which is almost good as the skynet from Terminator series and Security robot is like from the movie I.Robot with similar design which SEGA wanted to make a Sci-Fi genres look good on this game.
It has a 6 chapters on Single Player campaign and Online mulitiplayer battle comes with versus mode and invasions mode.
The gameplay is just exactly plays like Gears of war. It has a good control system for character movements and cover positions. The combat weapons is good for shooting range and good targeting but you do get a good melee attacks when get closer to enemies. you may also upgrade weapons from the shop to improve the weapons performance. It has a voice command by talking though the microphone attached on headset to command your teammates what to do during the gameplay but there only one problem is you might accidently shoot at your teammate when they not getting out of your away when shooting the enemies which resulted drops down the teammate's trust level.
The graphics is good as well for animations effects, characters models, backgrounds and textures which makes it detailed look clean and smooth.
The music and sounds has a good soundtrack, great sound effect and decent voice acting between with english and japanese in some cutscenes.
The Special Features has chapter select when completing campaign and online battle but where the hell happened to co-op mode?.
