Fracture: The One With The Movable Terrain
Day 1 Studio’s 2008 third-person shooter Fracture has one of the coolest gimmicks on this list. The ability to raise and lower terrain more-or-less at will using a variety of high-tech weaponry is super cool. Digging into the ground to escape a sticky situation, creating your own barricades via technologically-enabled Earthbending, and using these terrain-transforming powers to solve puzzles is a blast. If my badly broken review is any indication, I had a great time with all of those special abilities.
Unfortunately, Fracture also had repetitive enemies, a bland story, and main character named Jet Brody whose bald head should be in the generic shooter hero hall of fame. Despite its cool gimmick, it was quickly forgotten.
