A great tactical shooter

I think this game is great. I even went for the platinum trophy with it because it is so interesting. Some missions can be a bit frustrating for anyone below 30, but it the end the game more than compensates for that exasperation. There are several types of mission: stealth, timed, run-and-gun, no recovery, etc., each with its own requirements. Some missions are *extremely* difficult. The online component is very nice and rewards players who want to max out all the 6 characters in the game. Overall, a very good game with excellent game play. The story is minimal but involves thugs in the Middle East who belong to some sort of al-Qaeda. There are also side missions which consist of killing a target, typically someone important in the terrorist organization. Unlocking the last one is very hard because you have to have 5 stars (the maximum) in each of the 36 main missions. Alternatively you can try to unlock that through the Near app.
