I pickec it up at midnight from wallyworld the gameplay thus far is top notch. the aspect i was most worried about quicktime events for jacking of combat vehicals is fun, and not intrusive. it does hold your hand quite a bit more for the first bit in terms of restictions on where you can go, far more than the original did. I do not know if this was just a glitch becuase i only observed it once so far, but i lost  a vehical i had takken over when going into a factions base, normaly they seem to end up where you left them or in a nearby lot, i was kind of pissed when my tank was gone... ai seems much smarter, all in all fantastic... i plan on trying multiplayer in just a bit..... if you want to play me ill be on xboxlive Goddog

I have to get it, the plot is based in my country Venezuela, I'm very excited about it!

what do they think about the game down there, i had heard that it was causing an uproar or something, and your goverment asked for an apology for ea and pandemic, acused it of being our goverments propaganda

Congrats on having a Walmart that bothers to stock. Been to all 3 here and they have the price tag and shelf space open but no games. Guess I'll have to wait for Best Buy or Game Stop to open. I loved the first one and this one looks like more of the same with better explosions.

I have the game and I already talked about it in this thread - http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=40068&start=0

I love but there are a lot of bugs. This is what I said:

"I have the game and I am about 60% done. I kind of agree with the reviewer. There are a lot of bugs and the voices and AI are stupid and annoying

They usually don´t bother me very much, because if the enemy was smart the game would be too hard. There are too many enemies with RPGs, tanks, choppers, etc. Even with the poor AI it´s tough at first and they still surprise occasionally with their firepower.

The one that bothers me the most is the helicopter pilot. Sometimes you throw a smoke, lose the money and fuel and he won´t bring the item (that happened 3 times with). Nothing appears on the screen (sometimes the chopper can be shot down by the enemy), he just doesn´t come. Also he sometimes gets stuck and I ´ve seen him winch the wrong thing and not move instead of unhooking the winch.

However, and it is a big however, the game is a lot of fun. The explosions are amazing. Pretty, great sound effects, everything. Using all the weapons, tanks, vehicles, choppers, it´s all good.

I´m loving this game. If someone asks me I´d say that this game is just like the first. The good and the bad. But I love the first one. So :)

P.S. - Driving is ok. BUT I hate, hate the driving in water part. I have some "follow the trail in a certain amount of time" and I hate it."

Here in Venezuela the game has appeared on the news lately because of it being released, but no one cares actually, when the game was early in development the government attacked EA and Pandemic saying that it was all al plan of the CIA to manipulate young americans' minds so if ever an actual invasion occurs to my country they would agree with it, wich is all bullshit the government here likes to blame the US and the CIA for everything

@lightbleeder, heh sounds like macathism glad to hear no one bought in...

i did do alot of co-op this morning, truly fun dropin drop out with a few diffrent people... you both get paid for each thing the other does, or lose money if they kill civilians.


@macriosmg.... that happened in the original the helicoper/support thing, normaly that means the support chopper is shot down cause you did not take care of all the aa batteries, which im willing to bet the reviewer on ign spent no time doing.... honestly the ai stuff he complains about seems like he wanted the ai to do all the work for him, and they just dont do that, much like in the original 1 ai guy can take out about 1 ai guy before he is killed.. and if you shoot your ai guy he try and kill you, though now you can keep killing lots of a faction from damaging your relation which is cool.... really the more i look at the ign review the more i think he never wanted to play the game, and that kind of a reviewer should not be reviewing games

Damn you comcast.... why today of all days to start screwing around with my internet killing all the multiplayer fun....

side note i do wish the EA had not taken over publishing so we wouldnt have to put up with ea servers, something that should not even be on xboxlive
