Binary Domain Tested and reviewed based on the Playstation 3 version. Review by Ben Nacca (Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BenNacca ) XBL GT: Darkeyes1991 PSN ID: Darkeyes2k11 Game Info Delving into the Sci-Fi genre once more, SEGA have given fans of the genre another option when it comes...

Solid graphics with good variety | Likeable characters | Surprisingly pleasing story

Voice system weak | Multiplayer lacks innovation | Better alternatives on offer

+ Engaging single player campaign that features some gripping moments and some high concept science fiction; +/- Multiplayer suite is complete; but lacks any kind of innovation to distinguish itself from other games within the genre

When it comes to western styled third person shooter, the Japanese tend to be a little bit hit and miss. On the one hand you've got the likes of our 2010 game of the year Vanquish from the ever reliable Platinum Games , and on the other you've got the likes of NeverDead which, although not complete...

A future so bright you have to wear heavy armour. Binary Domain is a futuristic squad based third person shooter based in Tokyo in 2080. Your job, and that of your multinational squad, is to infiltrate the city and find the people behind the making of the highly illegal Hollow Children; flesh...

Great enemy destruction and massive robot boss fights

The first few hours are slow and the voice recognition feels like a gimmick; Map design is bland in places.

From the mind of Yakuza series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi comes a sci-fi adventure built around what have become the dominant mechanics for third-person shooters. With sleek visuals and the promise of an innovative voice command system, can Binary Domain stand among the established kings of...

The shooter genre, whether it be first-person or third-person, is probably the toughest genre to stand out in. Binary Domain certainly has a tall and shear wall to scale, with its hopes to appeal to every gamer from East to West.

What do you get if you cross Vanquish with The Terminator? No, not some van-driving pest control bloke who calls himself 'The Verminator'. You get this - Binary Domain. A third-person shooter that wants to be the next Vanquish so badly , but can't help thinking about James Cameron films.

Picking apart robot enemies; Attractive futuristic look; OTT characters are entertaining

Stupid squad AI; Flaky voice command system; Not as slick as Vanquish

You should be forgiven for letting Binary Domain slip under the radar. Any kind of promotion has been non-existent from Sega. As the debut title from Toshihiro Nagoshi's Yakuza Studio, the new IP deserves a little more respect.

A brave attempt to innovate in a tired genre, but one let down by dubious AI and a distinct lack of polish

The consequence system; A compelling story; Enormous; screen-filling bosses

Incredibly dumb squad AI; Unremarkable combat

A solid game that definitely has an audience. Might lack replay value, could be too short or there are some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
