As a huge fan of Frontline, I too was really excited about this game coming out. And, in all honesty, its really not as bad as many reviewers have said it is. My biggest gripe is that I paid 50 bucks for this game. It is actually worth 20-30 at best since I completed it in like 5-7 hours. The game is extremely quirky, which many have pointed out, invisible walls that keep you from shooting enemies, head shots that don't kill, enemies that aren't phased by shooting them 10 times, enemies running into walls and not stopping, and allies doing the same thing to name a few. But in all honesty, you really can get past all of that stuff. All FPS's have quirky things about them, this just has a little more. The story line is pretty fun and the game has the same cinematic feel to it as Frontline. The mid-mission save feature is definitely an added bonus. The levels really are alot of fun, at least I thought so. And the weapons are pretty cool too. In all honesty, once I got used to the targeting system, I thoroughly enjoyed this game the whole way through and I am sure I will play it again in the near future. My only recommendation is that you wait until the price goes down. 20-30 bucks is a great buy, 50 is pretty much a rip off.
