A good game for it's current price.
I will start in the most important part of games, to me, the controls. The game uses the time honored standard shooting and throwing controls which is good. The one button squad commands in easy, too bad the A.I aren't that good. Driving is also very easy. I didn't like the toggle crouch(halo) so i switched it to one press crouch(cod 4)
GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is your standard run and gun shootouts. The A.I is lacking though. Your allies aren't too smart and won't go too far away from you, so using them to draw enemy fire while you flank won't work. The only good thing is that the enemy A.I is just as bad as yours. They rarely use cover and your teammates are grenade happy. The game isn't super linear and it doesn't hold you by the hand by showing you where too go. Yuor main squad members are invincible but can be knocked out for short amounts of time. The squad is mainly used to open doors and sent charges, which you can't do yourself, until your by yourself and you can activate stuff halfway accross the map.(a small stretch) I did enjoy the gameplay though but it isn't too difflecult to beat the game. The parts in Rachal and the Base Camp are the best.
GRAPHICS/ANIMATIONS
This game isn't ugly, it's just right. You get the occasional pop in areas and your weapons will go through walls sometimes. The car can hit some unseen forces and just fly in the air. Sometimes you can get stuck for no reason but you can get out of it without having to reset. I enjoyed the city of Rachal which I thought was very well done.
STORY
I did enjoy your allies chatter but I never really grew attached to them. The story is alright but won't win any awards.
OTHER
You may play this once or twice again to get a few more achievements. None are too hard, but some would take a good amount of playing time. I haven't been able to play online since I haven't found one match. with no offline multiplayer or co-op to help. this game is good for the 10$ i put out for it, brand new.
