Instead, you're thrown a few seconds of storyline during and after levels, and you have to somehow piece together these snippets to figure out what the big deal is with the virus-laden girl you're safeguarding, and who was kind enough to spray her infected blood in your face (thus infecting you) early on.
Pariah attempts to differentiate itself from other shooters by offering an upgrade system for weapons wherein you find "cores" that make a weapon bigger and badder than before.

 Pariah Review (Xbox)
As in a majority of other shooters, Pariah is steeped in sci-fi mythos, but the bulk of the conflict actually takes place in lush, vegetated areas of earth.
Once Pariah is over and done with, you’ll appreciate the sense of secrecy, but it doesn’t help to build interest early on.
The bulk of Pariah is dedicated to the 18 chapter single-player campaign that includes a heavy dose of FPS action, along with a few vehicle-based missions along the way.

 Pariah - Xbox (XB) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
Pariah has a sci-fi story, good FPS levels, good visuals, Halo-like vehicles, a map editor and very good online play, but too many graphical glitches, long load times, and spectacularly dim-witted enemy A.I. ostracize Pariah as a “good, just not anywhere near Halo” title.
Pariah hits the target of Halo 2 speed, and some of the multiplayer levels are comparable to the high quality of Halo 2 maps.
There are a few flaws that fracture Pariah as a game, but a better-than-you’d-expect single-player mode coupled with a very good online setup give Pariah enough of an advantage over other Halo wannabes as a perfect alternative to the mass contingent of Xbox FPS online gamers that play Halo 2.

One interesting aspect of the Xbox version of Pariah is the inclusion of a map editor that will allow you to create multiplayer maps and share them with your friends.
It may still be too early to tell whether Pariah has what it takes to stand out in a crowded genre of excellent shooters, but with both single-player and multiplayer demos in the works, we figure it won't be long before we get a better idea of how the game handles.

I bet Pariah, if it had preceded Half-Life 2, or had been released at a different time altogether, would NEVER have gotten the negative reviews it has garnered, because it is a fine, fun, entertaining game with decent action and simply great graphics.
Next, many negative reviews griped that "In Pariah's story line, some dumb girl who is infected with a virus keeps running away from you and you have to go find her.
Well, in Pariah, the first-person playing screens (everything but the cutscenes) are really quite gorgeous, lush, nice color palette, some nice vistas, good shimmer-effects on the explosions, etc. On the other hand, the third-person cutscenes themselves (which should be awesome if we are talking video-game-convention here) are horrible looking in comparison.

 Featuring Pariah Preview at ActionTrip
Pariah, the upcoming FPS from the co-creators of Unreal Tournament, Digital Extremes, follows the story of a mysterious disease that threatens to spread around the remnants of a once vibrant and living planet.
Pariah is in some ways a typical first-person shooter that takes place in a distant-future.
There are several different settings featured in the game but, for the most part, Pariah takes place in large outdoor settings.

Pariah also has a fairly unusual weapons upgrade system, but more on that later.
We can believe that Pariah’s story is trying to be intelligent by not explaining everything that’s going on, but it’s taken to such an extreme that in fact the story just becomes unintelligible and even alienates you.
The more you play Pariah, the more cracks start to appear, and some bits seem to be missing altogether, leading to the inescapable conclusion that the game just wasn’t properly finished.

Suddenly, you find yourself in combat against heavily armed thugs who, like you, are intent on finding her, wondering all the while whether you've been infected.
The gameplay in Pariah is faithful to the FPS canon: it's neither groundbreaking nor a washout.
You take on various baddies, which, in most locales, are as common as houseflies, and it almost feels as though the level designers are using them to replace the idea of puzzles.

Pariah, it rhymes with … what the hell does Pariah rhyme with?(Mariah.
Basically, the game was craved by many hardcore gamers for the fact that it was supposed to bring a thrilling single-player campaign and of course great multiplayer action.
The story and character development in Pariah is slightly worse than what we've seen in Unreal 2.

 IGN: Pariah Review
While there are some that do manage to srabble up that slipper slope, it probably comes as no surprise that Pariah, while containing some good ideas, settles a little too easily into the groove molded by so many that have come and gone before.
Pariah starts out intriguingly, with cinematic music and title screens, and an extensive intro cutscene with above-par voice acting and sprinkles of R-rated profanity that will continue on to the end.
Pariah already comes to the table with the burden of having no established license or franchise, even though DE is a veteran developer with many hallmark titles to its name.

The hype from Pariah has been growing in my mind for quite some time, since I first spoke with members of the development team about their all new project, before it was even publicly revealed.
Digital Extremes has put the Unreal engine to good use here, giving you control of Doctor Jack Mason, as he tries to uncover the truth behind a mysterious prisoner called Karina who is host to some kind of strange virus.
Fortunately, a multi-player mode extends the life greatly, throwing in everything from vehicular combat to upgrading weapons and a host of game modes that aren’t unique to the game, but are borrowed and extended successfully.

 Pariah Review for Xbox - Pro-G
Pariah is set in the year 2520, a time where plasma rifles capable of inflicting heavy damage burn holes in vicious mercenaries who roam the earth prowling for trouble.
Puzzling then, that playing Pariah through the first person perspective of the instantly forgettable Jack Mason, you would think the FPS genre had learnt nothing from the Halo franchise and had gone back 500 years, not forward into some hellish future.
As tiresome as the comparisons will be to developers Digital Extremes, I'm going to repeat them: Pariah, being a futuristic first person shooter, isn't as good as Halo 2.

 GamerDad - Pariah (PC)
Pariah is the latest game based on the Unreal graphics engine and does a great job showing off what the engine is capable of delivering.
In Rune, the game begins with a bunch of history and details, then your boat is sunk and you spend the rest of your time trying to get home to avenge your fathers' death.
Pariah is too short, has mediocre weapons, lacks purpose, has an unfocused story, low-resolution cutscenes (PC only) and provides an overall unspectacular experience.

In Pariah, players are cast as Jack Mason, a doctor who's been booted down to security duty.
I never got the sense that Mason was a super-soldier prior to his demotion, but there he is, snapping to with rifles and grenade launchers a scant few seconds after the crash.
But this is supposed to be a semi-recognizable Earth, so I was happy to run around with the equivalent of machineguns and shotguns.
