Grossly underrated! This game rocks...

If you have seen and like hard boiled, and you love games like max payne and enter the matrix, then this will be your new favorite game...

If your system can max out the game, it is one gorgeous looking gaming. Forcing AA through you graphics card also eliminates the rough edges some people complain about, just like in Bioshock. Textures are fantastic, and characters and animations also happen to be top-notch considering the immense number of enemies along with no despawns, and completely destructible environments. In some levels you leave gigantic buildings in nothing but rubble.

The story is awesome as well and those who don't think so do not know hard boiled. Hard boiled was supposed to be John Woo's asian dirty harry. And that is exactly how the movie and now this game have turned out. Not much drama, but awesome sequence after sequence that pits an acrobatic dirty harry against all odds. The sound is also top-notch, with amazing voice acting, including chow yun fats own voice-over for Tequila, great music, and great gun effects.

Controls are also responsive and relatively straight forward, pulling off Tequila time is exceptionally easy. Essentially the game does everything max payne did right as well, if not better. This game is what enter the matrix should have been. I have always been critical of movie games, and this is the first one I have really liked, and this huge underrating has motivated me to write this review.

Finally, MP is fun too...nothing special, but fun.
