<a href="http://www.game-over.net/">Game Over</a> has posted a <a href="http://www.game-over.net/reviews.php?id=817">luke warm review</a> of <A href="Http://www.harbingergame.com">Harbinger</a>, giving it a <b>75%</b> which it appears it got for graphics and storyline, rather than gameplay. Here's a clip:

<blockquote>That leaves combat where Harbinger should provide its entertainment value, but it just doesn?t happen. Enemies are pretty strong in the game, and so you have to use hit-and-run tactics in almost every fight, and even though there are a couple dozen different enemies, fights go about the same. Shoot a couple times, run away, and then shoot again. Supposedly you can use melee for most of the fighting, but I just found that to be a good way to get killed. And so you just ding the enemies to death, and they?re dumb enough to let you do it. Eventually that gets boring.</blockquote>

Melee supposedly gets much better later on, but getting to the later on just doesn't seem worth it.
