The first look is very good, explosions, shots, tanks. But when you play it you will be disappointed.

What I like of this game is the fact that we are a mercenary and we can do whatever we want, destroy what and who we want. But when I was advancing in the game, I was bored, all the missions are almost the same, destroy this thing, bring back alive someone.

The graphics and terrain details are not bad, the explosions look very realistic, and when I blow up a building I feel I am watching a real explosion. One of the bad things in this game where the tracks of the tanks, they don't move according to the terrain, they just stay there and the only thing that moves is the camera, this is awkward because sometimes you have to aim while you are moving and you cant do it very good.

Well, the best of the game was the ton of vehicles we can steal, hijack or buy. That is good, the vehicle we prefer to do the mission as we want. This option and the air strikes are the best, we have a lot of ways to destroy a building and kill a bunch of soldiers, all this just by pressing a button.

The weapon selection is very interesting too, from the American m16 carbine to the cheat weapons like the portable air strike (my favorite weapon).

My score for this game is 8.0.
