This game feels a bit too much like Mercenaries! Yet is a fun game to play!

Well, I didn't necessarily know what to think about this game. It wasn't really original, but was still pretty awesome to play. Although the story is a bit desperate, the gameplay was pretty cool. Unfortunately, for me, I look for a mixture between great storyline, awesome graphics, cool gameplay, and not too many glitches. I got what I wanted when it came to gameplay and glitching, which honestly didn't happen much. Alas, when it came to graphics, like Prototype, felt rushed and it was like there wasn't too much work put into that particular section of the game. As for the storyline, it doesn't have much to say for itself.

I'm not giving away any spoilers, mind you!

Now, let's get down to the REAL business!

Gameplay: The gameplay, in my opinion anyways, ROCKED! All the buttons seem to be in the perfect places, and the main basis of everything you could do was perfect! Grappling onto planes, stealing cars, sailing boats to different areas, planting bullest into people, battling your way from one side of an island to another, and speeding like lightning along the dark roads at nightime, shooting bullets here, there, and everywhere never felt quiet as fun as this! PERCENTAGE: 91%

Graphics: Not much can be said about the graphics. While they do fit the standards of next generation gaming, they feel rushed and slow. Just Cause 2 could have had stunning graphics and made the game much, MUCH better. They SHOULD have been up - to - date, state - of - the - art graphics, but felt like a half bothered work. PERCENTAGE: 57%

Story Line: The story line, in my opinion was a complete fail. It was done plenty of times before! An agent sent on a mission in a secret island.... Where have I seen that before!? Mercenaries, Mercenaries 2: WORLD IN FLAMES, Call Of Duty: Black Ops, Splinter Cell, and much, MUCH more! It was an idiotic attempt to make me want to delve further into the game, and was pretty much a cliche on almost every aspect. PERCENTAGE: 12%

Music: I didn't pay that much attention to the music, but when I did I also had mixed reactions. There wasn't a single thing bad about it, but it also wasn't awesome. I don't know where my opinions stood with the music, but all I know was that it stirred NOTHING in me, but yet didn't bug me. Meh, I can't place a label on it. PERCENTAGE: 75%

THE LOW ---- ---- ---- ---- DOWN: The game could have been better, but to be honest it wasn't a great attempt. The only thing in the entire game that didn't bother in shape, spiral, way, or form was the gameplay. Actually, other than the game play. The music was just nothingness with a bit of something. The graphics were just a half - bothered attempt, and the story line was an over ---- ---- ---- ---- used pain in the buttocks! Unless you don't care much for graphics and story line, then this game could indeed find a place on your shelf.

OVERALL PERCENTAGE: 73%
