Darkwatch -- another uninspired FPS?

Capcom's latest offering, Darkwatch, debuts tomorrow for the Xbox and PS2. Early reviews have produced decent/average scores—what you might expect—but there are some promising aspects of this new FPS that might warrant a deeper look. Gimmicks aside (ethical choices, horseback riding, super powers, etc.), critics have taken note of the game's tight controls and excellent AI. And even if the single-player experience is a little dull, Xbox players will be treated to a promising multiplayer mode via Live. Both
IGN and GamePro have posted reviews (links to Xbox version).
