An above average online mode offers its true salvation however, delivering a genuine quality experience.

The major downside to Battlecry was the repetitive nature of the game, which thankfully is not present anymore in the game.

The controls are just dandy, and there's plenty of shooting to be done, but no single aspect of this Invasion makes the game particularly notable - it looks plain, sounds plain, and pretty much plays plain, too. [Nov 2004, p.112]

A decent enough shooter that just doesn't do enough to stand out in the Xbox's crowded FPS market.
