Wait for it to hit bargin bin. Its a piece of shit that isn't worth Full Price.

thats harsh lulz....can you explain why its not worth full price? i would like to know

Im a little sore because I chose to buy this at $69.99 over the lower priced Modern Warfare 2 at $59.99, and with sales tax it works out to be around $80.00.

Besides the price, the graphics, story and gameplay just feel bland. I mean if this was suppose to be Pandemics Swan song then it just turned out to be an ugly duckling. The whole grey and white aspect of the game can be breath taking but when its in colour it looks horrible. There are glitches throughout the whole game and textures look horrible. Quite frankly this game lacks a severe amount of polish.

The story is interesting in the beginning but it later just ends up becoming a uninspired story that doesn't take advantage of its unique setting.

The gameplay is the worst offender. It tries oh so very hard to be Uncharted, that if it weren't for a genre difference I'd be calling this a clone.

Like Uncharted it tries to take elements from various genres around the industry and mix them together. However, unlike Uncharted it doesn't execute as well.

It tries taking the Open-World area of GTA with the abilites to jack Cars and Kill civilians...It fails because it tries do do everything GTA does but with limited car models and poor Civilian AI reactions it just sucks.

It tries to add elements of Stealth from Assassin's Creed. Where you can climb on buildings and avoid the attention of guards to get to your target. Well the parkour of this game just plain sucks as Sean Devlin (Main Character) looks completely robotic and awkward when he's climbing. Unlike Ezio who looks fluid and Human, Sean's movement is a constant reminder that your playing a game...a very bad one at that. The stealth Kills are uninspired and so is the disguise system.

And Finally it tries to incorporate a Third Person Shooter mechanic and it feels remotely similar to Mercenaries own Mechanics take that as you will, but thats probably the only positive thing for me about this game.

And finally the sound is horrendus. The soundtrack sucks just plain and simple, the voice-work is usually hit or miss. And if you thought you could see some virtual titties with this title then you were wrong since those look like shit too.

 

really and truly this game is about a
