If you're searching for a good-looking shooter with fun gameplay at a low price like I was, then Pariah is your game. Almost everything in this game seems to work well--the weapons, the levels, the sound--it's rather polished, in my opinion.
Which is not to say that Pariah doesn't have some problems. If you like a good story, for instance, then like almost all games, Pariah is lacking. I've played the entire game, and I'm still not clear what the story is about. You play a doctor who's with this woman who has some mysterious virus, and there's these evil people who want to abduct this woman. You fight these people only to betray this woman later on. At the very end you battle this other stange woman. Who she is and why you must fight her? I don't know.
It doesn't really matter to me, though, because I just want to go in there and shoot things and blow things up. You get plenty of chances to do that in Pariah with very good weapons like a sniper rifle and a very effective grenade launcher. You also have drivable, armed vehicles that are actually fairly easy to control. You can use the mouse to steer instead of the stupid strafe keys! Game developers with brains? It does happen.
What doesn't seem to happen that much is the game itself. It's very short. It's almost like a demo. A few hours and you're done.
Whatever problems Pariah may have, the game is actually very good and very fun. For the price, you can't go wrong.
