Oh yes! Although don't let the clunky first level make you give up, it's really bad, and it was the level shown in the demo (what a bad decision they've made). The game gets better and better. It's different from Painkiller and Serious Sam : it's an old school FPS (stupid, action packed, and with excellent artistic work) but with some late 2000's modern elements (more realistic movements -no bunny hopping-, crouch, melee attack, akimbo, iron sights - quiet unnecessary though -). The mix can feel odd at the beginning but it is worth getting into it.
I think I like Painkiller more, less weapons and complexity in the movements, but Necrovision feels more "realstic" ; I mean I felt in a real world. It's closer to Painkiller than Serious Sam (less strategic in terms of threat priorities). For 3 dollars, if you like arcade FPS games go get it, you won't regret the buy and your time.

Well I've just started The Lost Company, so I can't give you a right review, but it seems more linear, maybe you can't get lost as in the first one.

I've played the Lost Company, I'm in the chapter 7 (out of 10), I can confirm that is is lot more linear in its design than the first one. It's a step further towards the "modern shooters" (i.e. a step backward in the FPS games world), with more corridor shooter mechanics : many waves of enemies are running or covering and shooting at you in corridors, and a few arenas for boss battles. The levels with vehicles (plane, tank) are the kind of gameplay you experienced in CoD games, not bad, not good, just a change of pace to make the game less repetitive. It's quiet entertaining to know more about your first foe from the first game if you care (The Lost Company is the prequel to Necrovision). The best point : a few new weapons have been added, and they are fun to use. Well, 3$ for the pack is still ok.
