The online bored you and you still give it a 9.7? Thats the bulk of the game! Well either way, to each his own.
Pros- Nice set pieces, probably the best console online FPS, made the ISA somewhat interesting, varied the single player gameplay up a bit, added splitscreen, vehicles are a great addition to MP. Jammer is a babe.
Cons- Strange downgrades from KZ2 (no custom matches, no single player stats page, no Radec caliber battle) Single player could have been a bit more fleshed out, mutiplayer health is too low. Odd difficulty balancing in SP. I agree with Making Musics deduction that this game was rushed out a bit by sony. Rico is always right.
Overall score- 8.6 (for comparisions sake KZ2 would have got an 8.3 or so from me).
Time for hype
