Everything about this game is Excellent. The campaign is outstanding, is never repetitive, and there is a vast variety of weapons you can use and vehicles you can operate. one of the fun weapons in the game is the mounted gun turret. You get easily used to the controls, which are very convienent for quick-paced gameplay. The targeting system for this game is unlike any I've ever seen for a TPS(Third-Person Shooter). The thing about the camera/aim i didnt like was the fact that X-O-Triangle And Box Correspond to Down, Right, Up, And Left. This can be easily fixed (so looking around is more comfortable) by setting the Horizontal and Vertical look speed up.
The Multiplayer is just magnificient. one of the first noticable things is that it is very (extremely) difficult to cheat to rank up faster. (This is excluding hacks). The rank system is easy to understand but it is also very enjoyable to rank up. Maps are very detailed and structures and textures are vivid. There also is an automatic balancing of uneven teams mechanism at work in the mutliplayer, which does away with the problem of uneven teams. Also unlike many other Multiplayer-Infrastructure Capable games you experience almost no-lag or disconnects in R-R.
All in all the upcoming shooters of 2009 are going to have a hard time beating this game. A 10/10 Definetely. |
