If your CRACKING down on a good open world game, look elsewhere.
The game itself is alright. No cutscenes but these crappy little powerpoint presentations makes it a bore.
The world does not have enough action to keep you seated, which is the main problem with this game. While the gangs are there to kill, there is always a want for destruction. But, they don't want you to kill innocents. It will take your levels down, which is stupid. I am playing an open world game, specifically because I want to be able to kill everyone and do anything. But when you tell me its bad to kill civilians, and you always bring my level down for it. ITS IMPOSSIBLE! You can't not kill civilians. Have you ever made it through an open world game without having the cops on your ass every once in a while. You lose nothing in other games though for killing civilians other than cops.
The world gets even worse when you go after gang members. There are infinite numbers of enemies protecting their boss, and it gets repetitive since there is usually no difference between fights.
And the bosses are beyond easy.
Even worse, is that the game has so many friggin' explosives. I want to just walk down a corridor...no explosion. Your dead. Good job. It gets so annoying.
The game tries to add some flavor since you are a super soldier. So killing people is fun with your powers, but gets repetitve.
Basically, this game lives by one word:
REPETITIVE!
Go look for something better than this people.
