Here's the best thing about Codemasters' FPS Bodycount: instant restarts. Should you be the unfortunate recipient of a minigun volley to the kneecaps, your character will have barely hit the ground before you've slapped A and are tearing back into battle from the last checkpoint. Even the quicker respawning FPS games such as Halo and Call of Duty can't resist a lingering camera over your fallen body or a heady wartime quote. A few games could learn a lesson from Bodycount: don't interrupt me when I'm trying to save the world.
However, the instant restarts aren't just the best thing about Bodycount, on occasion they can be the game's only saving grace. Death comes thick, fast and often unexpected among the messy bluster of Bodycount's action. At times it can be a war of attrition, frustration barely kept at bay by that precious, precious instant restart.
