Eagle’s Claw
I forget who recommended this one to me. Alas: disappointed. The little freeze-frame tutorial at the beginning is so promising, but then it’s just kind of slow, and while it does pick up later, I kept wondering why the mantis guy needs Big Brother to help him defeat Eagle’s Claw if 1) he’s not injured as he claims, and 2) it already takes a three-on-one to even back the mantis guy off. Just go over there, kill everyone, and quit jawing about it. Your sidekick is Asian Barry Gibb from The Victim; you can always tag him in if you get tired. …It’s not terrible — the girls get to fight, which, thank you, and also, Asian Barry Gibb — but it’s kind of slow.
