FPS: First Person Shooter review by Ryan McCaffrey. On sale through August 1.
It's fun to revisit forgotten first-person shooter favorites like Starsiege: Tribes and Dark Forces, and the filmmakers did an awesome job of getting clean gameplay footage from everything featured, but nevertheless FPS: First-Person Shooter plays more like a Wikipedia page turned into a four-and-a-half-hour movie than a true dissection and celebration of this highly influential genre and why it’s continually mattered over the past 30-plus years. You’ll no doubt learn something interesting that you didn’t know before about first-person shooters – particularly if you’re under 40 – but treat it like a limited-run series that you consume in several sittings rather than as a single 270-minute movie and you’ll get the most out of what FPS: First-Person Shooter has to offer.
