I have played better and I have played worse.
The Marines in the game are not out of character though, they are as arrogant and most Marines seem to be, going on about how they think that they are greatest thing since sliced bread.
The game play is fair at best. Enemy and friendly AI is only so so, it has nothing on games like Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, SW Republic Commando, SOCOM 3, etc.
The game does have its good points however. It is not a very difficult game which makes it a nice distraction but is just not as involving as some of the before mentioned games.
The in game commands are similar to Rainbow Six for the Console it offers very little control over your teammates. It's best not to rely on your provided weapon as their is no means to gain extra ammo owing one to the fact that you have no control of the weapons you take into battle with you and two their are no weapon caches in any of the missions. So it's best to always pick up an AK-47, as there is plenty of ammo for this weapon.
Mission length varies, it can be long or it can be very short. This is actually a plus in the game as it reflects that real missions can be over quite quickly or can drag on for sometime.
In between missions you will often see news reports of what is going on around you in the area you are engaged in.
Over all...it's your money! Whether you like it or not is up to you.
