SOF 3 is a disgrace to the franchise!
The good:
The graphics are pretty damn good, everything looks awesome and the environments are pure eye candy. The reload animations are just kick ass and the weapons look wicked.
Huge weapon selection! So many awesome weapons to choose from and you can add different sights and a few other things to make the weapons much better. Such as red dot sight, handgrip (for less recoil) and underslung grenade launchers for that extra kick of carnage and mayhem.
This has got to be one of the most bloodiest fps games I have ever played. The blood and limbs look awesome and is the best aspect about this failed game. Every time you fire upon someone they instantly shred into a gory mess of severed limbs and fountains of blood gush out of the wounds and spill all over the place. The gore is the only thing that was entertaining about this game.
The bad:
The AI is just atrocious, they only have 2 tactics. Stand out in the open and fire upon you or run up to you and try to bash the hell out of you with their gun. Its just amazing how stupid they are, the only time they can kill you is with sheer numbers or cheap kills from constantly spawning behind you.
The campaign is way, way too short and the only reason you'll be playing it for at least 8 hours is because its insanely hard. The bosses are way too damn hard and at times a group of enemies run out from no where and a flood of bullets just tear you to pieces instantly.
The checkpoints are too far apart and when you die half way through a level you'll probably be starting right back at the beginning. There is about 2 checkpoints per level and you'll end up dying about 20 times just trying to get up to a checkpoint.
The character you play as is just an **** he is extremely unlikeable and has stupid one liners and a nothing stops me attitude that gets extremely annoying after the first 2 levels.
The ironsights are just mutilating and completely useless. So adding that in was just a complete waste of time seeing as they can't even make proper ironsights.
All the characters and pretty much the whole plot is just full of stereotypes and irritating personalities. I couldn't care less what happened to any of the characters at all.
So after you've smashed the controller in frustration and cursed at the tv screen in anger you might want to think about chucking this game in the trash or burning it because it is not worth playing a second time at all. It might have great graphics, a huge and awesome weapon selection and tons of blood and gore but it is extremely difficult and is not worth the time.
