There is a story here, but I struggle to get myself interested in it. It kicks off with a fire back at the ranch, while you're doing your first basic FedEx mission, and your adopted father is found dying in the dirt, with your childhood home going up in flames. Sadly, our main character elicits no emotion about the man who raised him from birth and now lays dying, and zero curiosity about whomever it was that just destroyed his home and killed his adoptive father. So to say that there are some holes in the plot would be diplomatic. From there, you're sent on a wild goose chase to track down your real father, and the whole escapade is marred by (1) poor translation from Russian, (2) those facial masks, and (3) a pervasive sense of dull duty rather than, you know, fun. In the end, HTA is succeeds as a demonstration of how good a budget title can look, rather than succeeding as a compelling experience.
