The gameplay is standard shooter fare, with a smattering of simple puzzles thrown in to color the experience. They simply flit or glide about in a mechanical fashion, and even the bigger foes are a little less imposing because of it. But the enemies lack any sense of weight. The crazy denizens of Carnate Isle-pierced and stitched atrocities each representing a particular style of execution-are decidedly gruesome, albeit in a predictable Hellraiser sort of way.

And the Games will not feature a Russian athlete after the nation was banned for running a state-sponsored doping regime.īoosting - or the deliberate induction of a dangerous condition common to people with quadriplegia called autonomic dysreflexia - mimics the effect that occurs naturally in able-bodied athletes whose blood pressure and heart rates increase naturally as they engage in hard physical activity. Financial troubles have meant some stadiums have been ditched for the Games, while transport and security levels have been reduced from the Olympics last month. The Paralympic Games open tonight under a cloud.
