It feels like this game was made in the twilight zone. Everything appears normal for a brief moment in time before you’re lost in a bizarre warped version of a tactical FPS. Every single mechanic in the game is misaligned to some degree. There’s barebone stealth mechanics that seem to work for a second. Light armor makes it so when you crouching walk enemies aren’t immediately alerted, but sometimes enemies will …

Perhaps one of the worst games ever published on Steam and certainly one of the worst games in my Steam library. From the clanky gameplay to the tremendous AI there is little of this software that works properly, only two things in facts; the launcher and the amusement. That is right, this game is so badly made that, when played online with friends, the game becomes Hilarious with capital H. The absurd fun of …

Probably the worst game I've ever played. I am embarrassed and ashamed to have this in my Steam library.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Takedown received overwhelmingly negative reviews. Critics focused on its unfinished state, numerous bugs and glitches, and weak multiplayer offerings. Brett Todd of GameSpot gave it a 2 out of 10, concluding: "This is a game that should not have been released in its current state, and is certainly not one you should waste your time and money on." Craig Owens, from PC Gamer, gave it a 49 out of 100, complained about the AI that "the AI just seems unaware what's happening around it" and also it received criticism because of "no map, no planning phase, no complex manoeuvres or abilities." IGN's Brian Albert gave it a 4 out of 10. While he acknowledged the game's efforts towards realism, he…

Yeah sure cancel it, make another grey game where you slowly sneak up behind people and press square to a Takedown, that'll do.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I received this game for free and I still feel this game is a ripoff. This game came out during an era where making a realistic and do-able challenge is thrown right out the window and it was better to instead just make the AI complete Gods when it comes to reaction times and accuracy. You show anything more than your pinky toe around a corner and you are immediately hit scanned in the blink of an eye. Go play any of the Rainbow Six games instead. Even those old games are a lot more fun and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No campaign and there is nobody in the servers. Game is dead so don't bother.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →play this game I must. Maximum pain I must endure.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hadn't put a review for this game when I bought it, at the time I just assumed (despite being a "full release") it was still going through early access woes. Tried again after some time and sure enough, still horrendous. This is the specific game that taught me to never pre-order, no matter who's involved in the development.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is nothing than SWAT 4/Rainbow Six poor clon. Graphic is very simple. Gameplay itself feels very static and strained. Tragically confused AI with aimbots. Contains only single missions, 3 mods and several maps. No campaign or any deeper story. You can customize loadout of your squad. It feels very unfinished and unpolished. There is base for decent game though, so very disappointing. Don't buy it even on discount, it's not worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im going to play devils advocate here and be one of the few to say that it is NOT THAT BAD as everyone says lol, for $5 there is much worse on the steam store. This game was only released on PC and the Xbox 360 Via Xbox Live Arcade. XBLA Games were never the best in terms of quality, and this game fits right in that category. "Good enough to play for about 30 minutes at a time" type of game here. Devs abandoned it forever ago (obviously lol), so its left with tons of issues. Looks and plays…
