The game starts with a cinematic jeep ride, you pass through barren plains, past small shacks, and over small streams. You think to yourself "i wonder if i can roam over there later in the game?" the answer, yes you can. You can go absoloutely anywhere on the map, but it is too big. You will find yourself saving your game (from a designated save point), driving for an hour, then getting killed, only to be reverted back to your save. The save points are too few and far between, and will leave you reeling. You will find yourself playing a mini-game where you have to stop off at every save point on the way to a mission to avoid this, and it can become annoying. The graphics are second to none, and the character models are great, however it is all over shadowed by the frustrating save system, which will probably cause you to stop playing after a while. If you have plenty of patience, and are unemployed, persevere and im sure you will enjoy this game. For all of us who have jobs, and not much spare time, you will find yourself playing something else because it eats up too much time with tedious hunting for save points. Its a shame. Im sure theres a good game in there somewhere.
