Developed by Saber Interactive, INVERSION takes players on a whirlwind journey complete with nonstop firefights, and a suspense-filled storyline. Packed to the brim with action, INVERSION also introduces revolutionary gravity-wielding combat, zero gravity environments, vector changes, and a unique destructible cover system. INVERSION is a third-person co-op shooter that combines hard-hitting, adrenaline-pumping action with a revolutionary gravity manipulation engine. Featuring the Grappler weapon, players will be able to manipulate gravity for their own purposes. The Grappler can be used in countless combat situations by maneuvering massive objects as shields or projectiles, and moving camped enemies out of concealed cover so they can be blasted away. The Grappler is also a key tool for tactical situations and puzzle solving as players can lift, move, or create cover objects at their whim. The awesome power of gravity is right at players fingertips. Additionally, INVERSION is one of the first games to feature the HAVOK destruction engine which bestows INVERSION with massively destructible environments including an elaborate cover system. Set in the near future, the tranquil peace enjoyed by mankind shatters with an unforeseen invasion by an unknown enemy called the Lutadore. Armed to the teeth with futuristic gravity-controlling weapons, the Lutadore easily overrun the citys defenses. Unbeknownst to all, mysterious anomalies have surfaced in conjunction with the invasion. Random regions in the city have entered zero gravity or have suffered vector changes, throwing the world into topsy-turvy chaos. Assuming the role of Davis Russel, a hotheaded 28-year-old cop, or Leo Delgado, Davis neighbor, players will embark on a journey through the war ravaged gravity twisted disorienting streets of their home town and beyond, to find Davis' missing child.

Dull and awkward

By JamBam (19 reviews) , 28 Sep 2012

I was looking forward to this game but it's just so dull. It feels like you've been here before and the game's controls are clumsy when trying to move in cover, or altered gravity. And the altered gravity? A totally missed opportunity, it just doesn't do anything really. You can make things float and then throw them or shoot them, sometimes you yourself float, sometimes a wall becomes the floor. Wow. I was looking forward to zero-G combat and fighting whilst running up walls, but it never really happens. This game is dull, repeats the same mini-boss battle over and over, it just really fails to deliver. Avoid. As said elsewhere, get Gears of War and just forget about the zero-G thing, you don't get it here anyway...

So dull I Didn't make it past chapter 5

By Hanzoadam (7 reviews) from Nuneaton , 26 Oct 2012

The game is really boring and really dull and I just can't begin to explainhow bad this game is. I try to finish every game I rent but I seriously couldnt get far in this, I just couldnt bring myself to it. The game felt more like a chore than a fun game.
