The Good

  • A brilliant mixture of storytelling and gameplay   
  • Mind-blowing audiovisual presentation   
  • Tight and compelling shooting mechanics   
  • Gratifying stealth mechanics   
  • Lots of cool gadgets and weapons that you can tailor to your own style of play.

Oh and I say that the gameplay is perfect too.

Well, I haven't played the game, so I can't really argue with you.  I only have Yatzee to go by.  Many people say that he is too hard on games.  I believe he has high standards.  Also, the qualities he looks for in games are also the qualtites I look for in games.  He says that the story is long winded and doesn't make much sense.  He says that there is more action than stealth in the games, but the controls are more geared towards stealth controls than action.  This leads to more cumbersome action gameplay.  Also, he says that snake is bogged down with a bunch of tools he does not need since the tranquelizer gun has infinite ammo.

I will say again that I have not played the game.  But I trust Yatzees review.  The real test to see if it is "the best game of all time" it whether or not we are talking about it in 5 years.  Right now, the hype may be too much for people to view it in a non-biased sense.

 

He chose to play it that way. My first time through I went all action. My second time was as much stealth as possible. There are a few differnt ways you can play the game. And he doesnt put enough time into a game before seeing if he likes it. To him its "OHHH VIOLENCE YUMMY, Crap QTE shit sucks" Thats all he cares about. The story is only confusing if you have the mentalilty of a child and or skip scenes.
