Mixed reactions.The graphics is not live up to the year 2010 requirement. Hard but can grow on you if you give some time
The quality of the terrain and the environment is a let down - I expected much better. However the Mission Replay is very handy and it looks much better. You can even save the replays if you want.
But if you can accept the Graphics and the high level of difficulty the game can be a joy to play with. I didn't like it at all at start - I thought it was a mistake buying it. But I gave another chance to it and I started to like it more and more. If you can rent it first.
I really wonder why is that some games look so nice (like FORZA 3 etc) and some are so much behind? In 2010 I think many people would wish real 720p and 1080p resolution and not something that is upscaled to look like at least 720p (and in reality it is much lower). We are talking about the same system - and the PS3 can handle a Forza3 with amazing graphics then I would expect the same from other game titles as well. In 2010 I don't want to play with games that have graphics level of year 2004.
