There's a lot to criticise this game for: the completely desolate open world, the characters that are never really funny or interesting despite the huge amounts of dialgoue and animated cutscenes dedicated to them, how buggy and unstable the game is, the fact that the majority of levels are identical-looking subterranean bases randomly generated from the same handful of rooms and corridors populated the same few enemies...but at its core the biggest sin is that it's just not very fun to play. Your movement and attacks have no real weight and despite the conspicuous focus on giving each agent unique weapons and powers actual combat is just chipping away at enemy health bars while keeping your own health bars filled. A great encapsulation of this is that the game has 16 difficulty settings but each one is just a small incremental increase in the enemy stats and the amount of money and experience you get; playing the game on the easiest difficulty and hardest difficulty is exactly the same only all the different bars empty and fill at different rates.

If money isn't an issue you might be able to get a few hours of entertainment out of it before the malaise sets in but I guarantee you that you have other, better shooters you haven't played that are a better use of your time.
