Fracture
WORDS BY: Meghan Watt
With boulder-firing hulks to your left and jetpack-baring foes with rockets to your right, you know it’s time to change the playing field… literally. As demolitions expert Jet Brody, altering the earth is your specialty. To save America from genetically engineered baddies, you’ve been issued special terrain-altering grenades and the Entrencher, a surprisingly non-gimmicky tool that raises and lowers the ground. Sure, you can use it to build ramps or dig beneath barriers, but propelling enemies is its best quality.
Yet, as much action as the Entrencher and its cohorts pack, deforming the terrain seems to be Fracture’s only real focus, casting other elements to the wind. With a plot as basic as “kill the bad guys,” the 11 go-here-do-that missions become repetitive and tedious — even with the diverse weaponry — leaving you with a profound sense of “Why?” after conquering waves of hohum A.I. And by the end of the game, your trigger finger will be itching to off your chatty in-ear commander, if only because the real endboss is an absolute nightmare.
Though the campaign may not be so groundbreaking, the multiplayer is as fun as they come. Each eight-vs.-eight match — be it CTF or one of Fracture’s unique game types (like Excavation or the King of the Hill–style Breakin) — sparks an adrenaline-fueled battle with freeze rays, ricocheting-rocket launchers, vortex grenades, and more at your disposal.
With the power to shift the very earth beneath your feet, Fracture could have reshaped the action genre. But repetitive missions and a barren plot leave only the multiplayer to shake this shooter loose from the rest.
On Xbox 360
- Offers a fun break from the typical shooter.
- Terrain deformation and unique weaponry elevate multiplayer.
- Campaign suffers from lack of story and motivation.
- Who is this Jet Brody guy anyway?

Just a quick note about journalism. Reviewing games is not journalism. To be a journalist you must be objective, not subjective. So to say that the review of Dead Space is ok because it "is just one person's opinion" shows that nobody at OXM actually understands what the role of a journalist is. Journalism has no opinion! That is the goal of journalism - to present the facts and allow readers to make up their own minds based on the facts.
Don't pretend you're journalists guys. Such ignorance is what is making real journalists a dying breed.

Meh, the demo was alright. I knew this wasn't going to be a heavy-hitter. I'm more psyched for Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, Gears of War 2, and Mirror's Edge.
