Product Description
Who is humanity's true enemy?
Binary Domain is an original squad-based shooter by Toshihiro Nagoshi, the creator behind some of SEGA's most well-known video game franchises, including the critically acclaimed Yakuza series. Binary Domain puts players in the middle of a fast paced and intense battle for humanity in a robot-invaded 2080 Tokyo. Fighting through the derelict lower levels of the city, players control an international peace-keeping squad that soon starts to question their surroundings and the choices they make. Are the robots becoming more human, or are humans becoming more like machines?
Binary Domain's central theme of life is key to the way the innovative AI system is being developed. The highly advanced AI will make the battlefield a more compelling experience than ever before and players will have to plan their moves strategically and carefully in order to progress through the hostile environments of the game.
- Binary Domain takes you to Japan in the year 2080, where you'll need to regain control as a robotic threat threatens to take over, leaving humanity obsolete in this intense 3rd person squad based shooter from the brilliant mind of Toshiri Nagoshi
- As Dan Marshall, you and your squad must rise to the challenge and stop the mechanical menace before it's too late. But when is too late?
- You'll encounter highly intelligent enemies that will have you thinking on your feet as they try to outmanoeuvre you at every turn as they try to stop you and your team. You'll need to think fast and shoot faster as you guide your earn through real-time moral decisions and earn their trust in order to lead them more effectively.
- Tokyo times: You'll see two very different Tokyos, the run down and decaying slums below and clean and wealthy new city above

The single player. After a poor start the game picked up to be really enjoyable - in fact I found it hard to put down. The graphics are largely goodish, once you get into Chapter 2, but they are hit and miss at times. Initially, in the first chapter, there is a lot of stop/start just learning the controls in a super drab grey factory with samey enemy in narrowish corridors. The first chapter is just a prologue, which goes on for around 45 mins, and is totally unremarkable. You need to give the game 45 minutes to get going.
The second chapter really opens up into the outside world (first level of the demo is part of the second chapter) and there are areas which are narrowish corridors and there other more open areas where you can mix it up a bit with your approach. There are one or two boss fights (re: like the demo) which are good and there is one super-huge boss which takes some killing - a bit shoot the glowy bits but I enjoyed it. There was one section in the second chapter where you have to defend a teammate that was 'doing something' (no spoilers:-)) and unknown to me a crawler had dragged himself to my team mate to stop from his task - meaning my AI team mate had to back track and do it all over again. No restart the level - more restart the task in game. Nicely done.
The robot enemies are varied. Snipers, shielded bots, big hard red bots that take more punishment and bigger mini-gun type bots. There are a lot of different bots. The enemy AI is really pretty good. They flank in the more open areas, rush you lol and crawl behind objects to take down friendly AI as well as yourself. One crawler snook up on me grabbed hold of my leg lol and set off a grenade. There are also drop ships and smaller hoverbots that drop off bi-ped bots into the battle.... Read more ›

I saw the sale on this game and so decided to purchase it, not expecting much but knowing that I enjoy the occasional third person shooter.
I must say though I got much more than I anticipated. Decent story, likable and very real characters, and addictive gameplay.
The voice recognition thing that you use to either give orders or say things like "I love you" doesn't add much, I ended up turning it off halfway through the first level.
Overall though, I very pleasant surprise from SEGA right after another game I enjoyed by them called VANQUISHED. Sega sure does like their futuristic robot shooting games.

In a world obsessed with stuff like Call of Duty and Battlefield 3, this game comes as a breath of fresh air. A solid, extremely nice looking shooter that swaps all the pretentious shark-jumping plots for a straight-up blaster that doesn't compromise on quality.
Voice control is a bit iffy (but thankfully you can get through the entire game without really needing it). It just plays so satisfyingly, mashing robots to a fizzing pulp never felt so good. Ludicrous value for the price, get in on a game that is destined to be sadly overlooked this generation and spread the word. Binary Domain really is worth your time.

first thing i'll get the bad stuff out of the way
it has no online or local campaign CO-OP which is a huge mistake for this type of game also the interaction between sqaud mates to gain trust is a little confusing and dull
apart from this i really enjoyed the game just as much as gears of war, the story is Fantastic the writing is great and voice work top notch
the shooting is responsive and FUN, blowing parts off robots never gets old
i so feel bad that this game didnt sell very well because it really deserves a sequel.

Binary Domain is one of those unfortunate games that has simply slipped through the cracks. This is a huge shame because it is a brilliant game. The damage models on the robots as bullets shred through them never stops being satisfying. Huge behemoth robots litter the campaign and is taking them down is over the top and hugely rewarding.
The one downside is the team mechanic, where gaining each members loyalty seems strangely bolted on and discordant with the rest of the game. I played without voice recognition, so it may be a better using this rather than pressing LB every time a team member fancies a chat you can't ignore. The story is surprisingly good for a shooter, and the graphics are very good.
At his reduced price, it is certainly worth a buy. The main game is satisfyingly long, and will provide you with hours of scrap head mashing fun! If this was co op, this game would be infinitely better. However, with it's criminally poor sales, I doubt a sequel will surface, which is a real shame. Next time, market your games SEGA!

So i brought this game expecting it to be Mass Effect 0.5 and it turned out to feel like Irobot and play similiar to Gears of War. I really enjoyed the campaign but the multiplayer is thin at best.
Finally if your wanting a game to do with friends then make sure there is either 4 of you or you play something else, but if you just want a game for yourself then i cant rate this highly enough.

Let's kick off with a few negatives:
No new game plus - meaning you can't play through the campaign a second time with your upgraded weapons.
The trust system is a nice idea but redundant, unless your actions are extreme your team mates will not lose trust in you.
Delivering voice commands to team mates via your headset feels good, but is no more effective than doing it via the controller.
It's not possible to change the difficulty level up or down to suit your needs during the campaign.
Team mates sometimes run across your line of fire, but not enough to seriously detract from the action or enjoyment.
Now on to the positives:
The action in Binary Domain is fast, furious and ultimately very, very enjoyable! Shoot off a humanoid robot's legs and it crawls after you terminator style! Also robot armour disintegrates and flies off as you blast them, so you get a powerful feeling of tearing them apart bit by bit! Hugely exciting destruction! Plenty of explosions and intense, frantic battles mean Binary Domain is a shooter that belongs in the higher gaming echelons.
Controls are tight, responsive, intuitive and allow the gameplay to flow nicely.
Graphically the game is pretty nice, with some vivid colouring in parts of Tokyo and BIG, brutal bosses that ooze menace! All of your enemies look and move convincingly.
Sound quality is really good, the guns sound deep, meaty and realistic. So you get the feeling you're firing weapons that do serious damage! The music is varied and appropriate to what's taking place.
The story twists and turns a fair bit, and is absolutely fantastic, asking some very philosophical and profound questions about the nature of human existence and the future.... Read more ›
