Crimecraft review

So as most of you know, I love the free to play games. Or at least giving them a try. So I have played a few new games. Crimecraft: Bleed out, is a new game on Steam. And it being free, I thought 'what the hell' I'll give it a shot. So I installed it and about an hour later its ready to go.

 The story goes that the world has run out of oil in the not so distant future and the whole world has collapsed because of it. Its a kill or be killed world. An overall, relatively cliche but good old apocalypse scenario. The game style is very much like of the FPS that heal relatively quickly over time if you're not getting shot at.
My problem was first in character customization.
This is what I saw at first glance and was not impressed. Miniskirts and high heels wouldn't work on any type of battlefield and as much as the world is a use what you've got scenario, there would be a point where you'd pick sneakers over high heels. You can chose other than the miniskirt, but you're stuck with a form of heels. I was not impressed. So as soon as you start, you're dumped in a really badly made control point field and like any other video game, there are some jerks on the server. But the time will eventually be up and you'll be sent to a safe zone.

As you go through , you'll do simple tasks at first. Go to this person, buy this item, talk to this guy who will put you in an instance etc.

The controls are awkward at best. The graphics are trying to seem almost like No More Heroes style wise but at times come across as sloppy. The attempt at trying to combine a shooter with an MMO the way they did seems weird and maybe if I played longer and I might like it more, but it just doesn't appeal to me.
