90% of the bugs I've seen complaints about never happen to me.

I just got finished reading the GameSpot review and I'm almost wondering what game they were reviewing, because the one I read about isn't the one I bought. I will grant that the GPS system needs a lot of work and that the one-hit-kill pistol whip is a little strange, but I haven't experienced any bugs like what the GS reviewer suffered. No disappearing helicopters, no idiot VIPs, no disinterested enemies, no friendly fire.

Venezuela is large and wonderfully rendered; depending on what factions you befriend there are enemies to fight all over the map. It is actually quite easy to change faction affiliation by picking up HVTs, destroying targets, and killing enemy faction soldiers. While the GS review would claim that none of that extra action is worth the time, completing those bounties allows you to buy better equipment from the factions. I might be able to understand a 5.0 score if you don't unlock the MOAB, Daisy Cutter, or the Diplomat Heavy Tank (copyright-infringment-free name for the Abrams).

Overall, this game has been underrated by the official reviewers. If you're a fan of the first game or just explosions in general, this is a game for you.
