Complete disappointment

GRAW throws you in at the deep end a bit. There's a nice training level to get you used to the basic controls, then the first mission lands you with all this satellite rubbish and controlling APCs which they really needn't have bothered with. It's all too complex for an intro to a game.

The controls are awkward and, well, random. Shooting is just about the only control that actually works, even if the weapons are completely useless.

Your team is rather stupid for a professional warfighting squad - they have no concept of 'don't stand there when you're getting shot' and when they are alive, couldn't hit a barn door from 3ft away.

Then there's the cover system....what? there's a cover system?! Telling your guy to go into cover doesn't seem to work much, and when you aim round a corner you end up totally exposing yourself and getting shot. If you want a game that involves tactical shooting involving cover....Gears of War.

On the plus side (which is a small plus side) the graphics are pretty good and the sound isn't bad. But I didn't buy it for those.

I'm only on the 2nd mission I think, I really can't be bothered to get any further. Takes forever to load as well....
