I'm going to have to agree with the OP as well. I rented this game (fortunately) and played it like crazy for a few days, and definitely enjoyed that bit of time with it, but all too soon I found myself looking up the cell-codes and seeing how much damage I could wreak with the chopper and all the weapons.
I can usually tell I'm bored with a game when that kind of thing starts happening, so that's the day I returned it.
That being said, I know a lot of people who did like it quite a bit, but sometimes the open-sandbox thing becomes too big for it's own good and you have 5-6 different mission paths on the go and it just becomes bleh.
There's my .02 :)
